THE SORE SPOT.

In his Boston speech Gov. Harmon
took MIR. Taft at his word. He said
that when the Payne-Aldrich bill be-
came a law and there was much COM
plant, the President remarked that
those who did not like that sort of
thing ought to vote the democratic
ticket. The Governor said great
deal besides this, all true and much
to the point, but the words of Mr..
Taft that he quoted cover the ground
occupied by the standpatters like a
blanket.
The President not only issued this
invitation to all who disagreed with
him and the standpatters in congress,
but at Winona, Mimi, he told the
progressive republicans of the west
that they, too, belong in the demo-
cratic party; at Rochester, N. Y, he
expressed doubts of the republicanism
of the sixty-frst congress, although it
was nominally republican in both
branches, and at New Haven, Conn.,,
in a different humor, he predicted
that if the republican party did not
live up to it's promises it would very
soon be relegated to the status Of
Few of our Presidents have done
more thinking aloud than Mr.. Taft.
When progressive republicanism has
been at his elbow he has had good
deal to say about promise-keeping
and the probable penalties of promise
breaking. When stand-pat repub-
licanism has advised him, and that
has been most of the time of late, he
has rather airily warned all dissent
ers off the premises and into the dem
ocratic party. A good many have
acted upon his suggestion, as the
changed political conditions show.
There is a reasonable hope as to
many others.
While no democrat can feel ag-
grieved because a republican Presi-
dent openly solicits recruits for his
party and, what is more, actually en-
rolls them, it is probable that every
good citizen without regard to polit-
ical faith must regret that man of
admirable character in most respects
and so highly placed should display
a spirit so subservient. This is not
the Taft of the campaign, or the
Taft of the hopeful days following
the election, or the Taft who in q
moment of honest chagrin, when
signing the tariff of extortions, ex-
claimed: "This is not fulfillment
of our pledges, literally interpreted"
1t is a Taft who has turned his back
upon many of his truest friends and
who now stakes his political future
upon the powerful elements which
roll up the campaign funds.
The sorest spot in republicanism
today is the one to which Gov. Har-
mon refers so pointedly. 1t is sore
spot in Americanism as we'll. Touch
ing it must make every right-think-
ing republican vince, for republicans.

icans.-St. Louis Republicans.

GET TOGETHER

The old fight is on again. For six
teen years the democratic party has
had it's quadriennial struggle to free
itself from the strangle-hold or wal
street. The victory won IN the ma
tional convention of 1896 put the
party, as an organization, on the
side of the people, but the wall
street element of the party defeated
it by such combination OF fraud,
force and corruption as the country
had never before seen.
AS soon as the election was over
the Wall street element set about to
carry the party back to it's WalloW IN
the mire of plutocracy. 1t failed,
but it's failure only intensltled It's
thirst for revenge, and 1t defeated
the party again. In 1904 wall
street regained control Of the organ
ization by constant reiteration OF the
charge that radicalism had caused
two defeats. 1t posed as the prophet
of success and promised big cam
paign fund and victory.
Seeing that the rank and file were
unalterably opposed to the proposed
exploitation the Wall street demo-
Gratis deliberately united with the
Wall street republicans and convert
ed defeat into rout.
The memory of 1904 made 1t i'm
possible for the Wall street demo-
Gratis to make much Roadway in
1908, although with the aid of all
the servile agents of plutocracy 1t
did it's best. Powerless to control
the party it again threw its influence
to the republicans. The defeat OF
1908 gave Wall street renewed cour-
age and it is again at work.
The same predatory interests con-
troll most of the leading dailies. Some
of these papers call themselves re-
publican and some of them call
tiers use them to keep up sort OF
Punch and Judy show for the amuse-
ment of the public. But whenever
a convention is to be held or an cleo
ton is at hand they are all back of
the men supported by the interests.
Today, the Wall street crowd is
backing President Taft for the re-
publican nomination and it will seek
to control the democratic nomina-
ton also, but let no democra be de-
ceived. When election day comes
the solid support of the plunderbund
will be thrown to President Taft.
From the lowest possible standpoint
of expediency it would be folly to
allow Wall street to nominate the
democratic candidate. Our party has
made a record for reform which rem
ders it impossible to gain the con-
fidence of the big criminals who
evade punishment by controlling the
government. The only hope of the
party is in the nomination of pos
tive, progressive, aggressive demo
crat. Any other course would be
suicidal.
Let the unpurchased, unintimidat-
ed, democratic democrats of each
community get together and agree
upon the candidate who best repre-
sents the sentiments of the rank and
file and support him. The predatory
interests always unite. The masses
should not be divided at a time like
this. Get together-nominate the
ticket.-The Commoner

WILSON WOULD WIN NOW.

president indication are that Gov
ernOr Wilson could carry the United
States by a safe majority in the elec-
toral college, without the aid of New
York or Connecticut. He is exceed
ingly popular in the old republican
states of the upper Mississippi valley
and in the Rocky mountain and Pa
cific coast region. One of the COM
monest remarks in that section of
the country invariably begins, IF
the Democrats nominate Woodrow
Wilson 81 X X" Mention the name
of the governor Of New Jersey to an
insurgent republican and he beams
his response to the suggestion. AS
one studies the map, Governor Will
son could probably carry every state
west of the Mississippi river were
the election to be held Immediately
and, east of it, he would sweep in
enough electoral votes north of the
Ohio river to make some of the
strength of the old solid south super
fuous.
THE only difficult question con-
corning Governor Wilson, as things
look now, is whether he did not ar
rive too soon. Is he one of those
candidates who sweep the country the
year before? He is enormously at
uractive, from many standpoints of
view. No one SO captivating has ap-
peared among the leaders of the dem
Socratic party in years. The masses
forget the scholar in politics in the
man who has soundly thrashed
bunch of the reptile politicians al
their own game. Those who distrust
mere theorists and political high
broWs relish the sight of an ex-acad-
emician who prodded a New Jersey
legislature of all lawmaking bodies

TRUST PRICES VS.. WAR PRICES.

From the Index-Appeal, an author

learn that trust prices are worse

prices of articles in daily use are
higher now than they were fifty years
ago, when the exodus of men from
fallow fields to the front left few
producers at home. A statistician
has gathered figures showing the
prices of various articles in war time
and now in trust time. These figures
show that in some cases trusts are
more deleterious than cannon ana
