WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH ITO

WHAT. WILL THEY DO WITH 1T?
Dear Sir: Thomas Nelson Page, in
discussing the Democratic Oppor-
tun1ty," propounded the following
question: What will the Democratic
party do with the chance now Of
fered?''
Thousands Of people throughout
the land are asking the same question
and hoping that the party will waste
: no time over the "spoils of the vic
TORS" but will go earnestly to work
to bring about much needed reforms.
For years Wall street and the
monopolists have dominated Con-
gress, and dictated legislation. The
corporations and trusts have had
their attorneys and agents in both
branches of Congress, whose fealty to
thelr bosses no one questions.
While the common people were
looking to their representatives to
fight their battles, resist and defeat
legislation inimical to their interest.
the congressional mill has gone mer-
rlly on grinding out laws in the in
terest of the privileged few.
The Democratic party with a good
maJority-66-in the House of Rep
resentatives, strong minority and a
number OF lnsurgent Republicans in
the Senate, have it in their power to
put a stop to vicious class legislation
and to give few morsels to the dear
common people.
Ihere needs to be thorough house
cleaning, renovating, fumigating,
= extending from cellar to
garnet.
corruption in high places should
be uncovered and the criminals Wig
orously dealt with. Economy in the
administration Of government should
receive earnest and intelligent con-
sheraton. Hundreds of offices Gre
ated for patronage only and not for
service should be speedily abolished.
VIII the party wisely use the oppor-
tunity it has? That depends, for the
most part, upon the personnel of it's
congressman. If they are men of
broad craftsmanship, of genuine pa
trlotism, and with a supreme desire
and an inf1eXible purpose to labor for
the prosperity of all the people, they
will bring things to pass.
But if they are men of low ideals
OF honesty, integrity AMI purity; if
they debauched the voters with whis-
key and money in order to secure
their votes; if they we're parties to
ballot box stuffing or any other cor
rupt methods to put them in office,
they are unfit for the places they fill
and unworthy the confidence of the
people,
A dissipated man will not give up
his cups, libertine in the private
walks OF I1fp will hn dol
when intrusted with the highest office
in the gift of the people.
Elevation to'office causes no radical
change in life or character These
plain statements may hit some un-
worthy public servant "squarely be-
tween the eyes," Be it So
[ cordially wish that these vital
truths could be indelibly stamped
upon the mind and conscience of
every voter.

AS TO THE DEMOCRATIC DESERT
ERS AND STAND-PATTERS.

Dear Sir: There is one thing came
in your paper of the End of February,
in which you charge all the Demo-
Gratis with betraying their obligations
as Democrats except the fifty-three
voting may"
Heretofore I understood you to
only charge the twenty-three whose
names are set out in your paper of the
twentyfirst of July last.
Will you please explain this? If
you are correct in your charge, then
our representative, Scott Ferriss, is a
traitor, for his name is not in the
list of the fifty-three faithful ones.

Answer.

On February Is, 1909, the twenty
three Democrats who deserted their
own colors and went over to the Re-
publlcans, defeated a proposition
which would have given the House
control Of itself. These twenty-three
deserters saved Cannon and Cannon
ism from overthrow; by their votes he
retained his despotic control over the
House, which enabled him to pack
committees, and to railroad through
the House the new Tariff laws, which
added so much to the cost Of living.
AS Cannon himself said afterwards in
speech which none of those De-
serters ever dared to attempt to re-
fute on the floor of the House: "The
Republicans could not have passed
that Tariff law without those twenty
three Democratic votes"
Now as to the fifty-fve Democrats
who did not go astray in December,
1910, the facts are these: The Re
publicans offered precisely the same
issue which the Democrats had sup
ported in February, 1909, and every
one Of the Democrats, led by Champ
Clark himself, reversed their DO
sitiOns; that is to say, the majority
OF the Democrats in 1910 went over
to the position that had been oc-
cupied by the majority of the Re-
publicans and by the twenty-three
Democratic Deserters the year before.
