BRYAN STANDS OUT

Duluth Labor World: Not even the
presidency of the United States-the
highest office in the world-could make
him greater than he is today.
He met all the powers of darkness
in the democratic convention who
were combined to crush him, and with
him the last hope of The People to
overthrow the Rule Of Privilege, for
at least a generation 60 come. -.
He went to the convention, and,
with his face to the foe, damned their
treachery without winking.
He was vanquished in the first bat
tie, and was counted, for a moment,
among the dead. He remembered
that t'Truth has lost many battle,
but she never lost war; He
"girded on his armor," renewed the
fight, spurned ALI efforts to compro-
mise, and led what at first seemed a
hopeless cause to victory.
Triumphant Democracy, we salute
you!

The Pioneer Press has got itself in
to snarl trying to prove that a non.
partisan judiciary means the retention
Of the present supreme court judges. It
doesn't like the entry Of Judge Hal
lam OF the Ramsey county district
court in opposition to Judge Bum.
Non-partisanship in the judiciary never
meant that because judge was on
the bench he should have no opposition.
One of the fine things about the law is
that it is possible to oppose judge
without going into politics to do it.
Hallam is a republican and the Pioneer
Press says Bum is a democrat. We
never heard that any democratic con-
vention ever certified to Bunn's demo-
cracy. He was appointed to the district
bench in 1897 by Governor Clough, and
justly or not, popular opinion was that
the Great Northern railroad was pleas
ed at his appointment, and he was ap-
pointed to the supreme bench by Gov
ernor Eberhart, and popular opinion
was the same as in 1897. This may be
a great injustice to Judge Bum, and
should be corrected if so. We are not
interested in Judge Hallam 8 fortunes,
but we believe that he has right to
run and that being on the bench
should not prevent any judge from hav-
ing opposition. If he has been an hon.
est, able and fearless judge, it may
be unfair that he should have op-
position, but all sorts Of honest, able
and fearless officials run against op-
position in spite of all they may do:
Why should judges be exempt?

The action of the Board Of Pardons
in granting an unconditional pardon to
Paul Krause, will be generally ap-
proved. The circumstances of the crime
are familiar Krause set fire to house
Of i'll fame located near his home, and
in the fire the father of the woman who
kept the house was burned to death.
Krause did not know the man was
there. He pleaded guilty to arson in
the first degree and was received
at the reformatory March 8,
1909, going unaccompanied, and
taking his own commitment papers.
The case was unusual in many ways,
and so was his conduct. Before being
sentenced he went to the reformatory
and conferred with the superintendent
as to the chances for study there. Paul
was paroled April "a, 1910. He never
received report while in the in
stitution, and during his more than two
years on parole proved himself ex-
emplary in conduct, studious, sober, and
was promoted, with increased wages,
by his employer. While on parole he
studied nj ghts and secured a good
business education. State Parole Agent
Barncard considered his conduct first
class in every respect. Judge Taylor,
County Attorney Cameron, Superintend-
ent Randall Of the reformatory, the
state board of Parole, Hon. Chas. Hal
varson, who was on the board when
Paul was paroled, andsothers, all join
ed in the request for clemency. :. The
State Board of Parole was unanimous
in it's decision.

A great mistake will be made in
undertaking Roosevelt's capacity for
harm to the progressive movement. He
announces that the two old parties are
both wrong on the trust question, that
Legitimate big BUSINESS has right
to exist and that the Sherman law is
futile. This will bring funds from the
big boys in abundance. Then by ap-
pealing specially to the farmer and
the wageworker, and using the high
cost of living as foundation for his
arguments, Roosevelt will try to show
that his idea Of regulating the trusts
without destroying them, and a gov
eminent commission to supervise prices,
will solve the economic problem of to-
day. There is a certain speciousness
about this which may deceive many, in
disgust with both old parties, to vote
the socialist ticket and will also help
Roosevelt third party. The class Of
republicans who do not wish to sup
port Taft, but who balk at supporting
a democrat, may be counted on as sup
porters Of Roosevelt. The great danger
is that Roosevelt will get enough pro-
gressive votes to defeat Wilson and
elect Taft. He is cunning and re-
sourceful politician, and will stop at
nothing to join his ends. The defeat of
Wilson would put Roosevelt in a
stronger position for the future. The
one hope Of the country is in the
election Of Wilson.

Governor Woodrow Wilson recently
in a speech on 'The Birth of Free
dom,' said as follows:
I was saying to some of the fellows
out at Harvard that I wished that I
had been born twenty years later so
that I could have had twenty years
more Of this exhilarating century upon
which we have entered, century
which greets the challenge to originate
effort. This is no century for any man
that looks over his shoulder; it is no
century for any man who has no
stomach for the facts that change even
while he tries to digest them; century
in which America is to prove once more
whether she has any right to claim
leadership in the world Of originative
politics and originative economic ef-
fort. This is century just as much
worth living in as the eighteenth CEN
fury, better worth living in tn an was
the ninteenth century.
- When I hear: men say that you are
attacking American civilization by
proposing, not rapid but slow: steady
If necessary organic-changes, to
meet the facts. I wonder what they
think of when they look at the flag Of
the United States. The flag Of the
United States stands for the biggest
kick on record.
The flag Of the United States, in my
imagination, consists Of alternate
stripes of white parchment upon which
are written the aspirations Of men, and
streams Of blood poured out to verify
their hope, and in corner of that flag
sparkle the stars Of those states that
have one after another swung into the
armament to show that there is a God
in heaven, that men will not abandon
hope so long as they have confidence
in the God of ghteousness, the God
of Justice, the God Of Liberty.

The sight Of Taggart, Sullivan ct al.
rushing to Sea Girt to shake Wood
row Wilson 3 hand, and promising sup
port, is not inspiring, but could hardly
be prevented. The campaign will not
be run by those people and their allies,
whether in Minnesota or elsewhere.
Bryan should have pressed his resolu-
tion for special campaign committee.
He was surrounded by lot Of poll
teal cutthroats and monopoly repre-
sentatives on the national committee,
and Woodrow Wilson ought not to suf-
fer in the same way.

The Springfield Republican, the lead
ing Independent newspaper Of the
United States, has come out for Will
son. It says his nomination was one of
the greatest triumphs for the people
ever won, and it does not hesitate to
give Bryan full credit for the outcome.
This does not detract from Wilson in
any way, since he proved himself to be
fit for leadership.

There is talk Of conference at st.
Paul to decide on a democratic state
ticket. Some of the sources which urge
this are such as to make Jne suspicious.
Outside Of this, however, we do not
think the meeting of lot Of self
constituted leaders and would-be lead
ers, would have much weight with the
democracy at large. Under the new
primary law, each candidate for office
will make platform for himself when
he makes a statement, for there is no
organized state body which has any
authority to formulate state plat
form. When each candidate has stated
what he stands for, and his utterances
are measured by what is known Of his
experience and his career, the people
will have an opportunity to judge him.
That s one Of the objects Of the
primary law.

Baltimore managers wanted to send a
lodging letter to Bryan on the Parker
matter, but Wilson wouldn It stand for
it. His telegram to Bryan was fearless
and no wonder Bryan felt that he ought
to support him. It would be interesting
to know who the Wilson managers
were that wanted the lodging letter
sent. Such a letter would have pre-
vented Wilson s nomination. Which
shows how little some politicians know
about the people.

u Governor Marshall has a reputation
as progressive and as a votegetter,
but even if he were covered with faults
he would, shine by comparison with
Sunny Jim Sherman, whose renomina-
ton was an unnecessary republican
blunder. Minnesota democrats will re-
greet, however, that gallant Governor
Burk Ike of North Dakota was not chosen
for vice president. His selection would
have helped the ticket in this state,
where he is we'll known and admired.
Burke was staunch Bryan and Wilson
man, and gave his support to Wilson
at a time when it was needed, when
every inch of ground gained in the
convention was Of utmost value. The
treatment given Burke, therefore, by
some of the Wilson delegations was
neither chivalrous nor fair, and the
reports in circulation that there was
throw-down of the North Dakota
leader by some who should have been
his friends, have perhaps some sub
stratum of truth. It would be interest
inc to know. just who participated in
this deal, for future reference al
least. fs 5.zss
