THE STRONG MAN PARTY

The call for new party does not say
it-indeed, it contains nothing but a
gloomy recital OF immitigable woes for
which no specific remedy IS even sug-
gested, but the movement obviously has
three major purposes, says the New
York H0rld, editorially.
One is the gloriication of Theodore
Roosevelt. Another is revenge upon
Mr.. Taft and the Republican party. Last
but by no means least. is the advocacy
of Mr.. Roosevelt's revolutionary New
Nationallsm and George w. Perkins
theory of government by Big Business.
If revenge alone were sought for the
alleged theft Of the nomination in Chic
ago, no new political organization would
be needed. The Democratic party is an
instrument already at hand that might be
used to that end. But New NationaliSm,
which is government by one man; the
third term ambitions of Mr.. Roosevelt,
who refuses to retire from the Presidency,
and the plan of Mr.. Perkins to subor-
dinate Congress and the judiciary to a
Court of Big Business, can find no
worthy representative in any of the par
ties now in the field.
Thus the new party exhibits at once
the controlling motives of imperialism
and reaction. 1t is not progressive De-
mocraCy. 1t is Democracy in retreat,
seeking refuge in the arms of the strong
man. 1t is not reformatory in any sense.
1t contemplates the abandonment of re-
form and surrender to the very inter
ests represented by Mr. George w. Per-
kins, late of the firm Of J. P. Morgan &
Company, which have consistently re-
sisted reforms.
When Oyster Bay praises the extor-
tionate tariff, and demands the repeal of
the Antitrust Law, the voice is Mr..
Roosevelt's but the sentiments are Mr..
Perkins. When MeSsrs. Perkins, Mum
sey and Mccormick insist upon a third
term, they show that Wall street and the
Steel Trust know their man, and are not
ungrateful.
What the new party is to attempt is a
change in the form of our National Gov
eminent. If our would-be dictators, po-
litical and financial, were already omnip-
otent, could they find an easier way to
divert attention from the reforms that
they fear2

Congressman Lewis Hopeful.

In an interview with Congressman
David !. Lewis, on Saturday last, July
9th, he stated most emphatically that the
War Claim of Frederick which is now
pending would surely be paid.
at will not come at this session Of
Congress, he stated, land it may not
come at the following term, but can
say with all reasonable assurance that the
claim, which is just and should have been
settled long ago, is going to be paid in
full"
The War Claim, said Mr. Lewis, was
favored by every member of the Claims
Committee. 1t would be acted upon
by the committee probably at the latter
part of the session, but would not be
taken up by the House before next year,
owing to the congested character OF the
calendar. The only thing to do IN the
meantime was to keep up the agitation.
Speaking of the Parcels Post Bill, Mr..
Lewis said:
This measure has been my hobby
ever since my election to Congress. In
fact | gave the matter much study years
before | was a Congressional candidate,
and the information that | gained from
research has helped me wonderfully with
the bill. When first took up the prop
osition | found that rudelv constructed
measures of somewhat similar effect,
had been pending before the House of
Representatives for more than 40 years.
They were introduced and invariably LETT
to shift for themselves, and nothing goes
far in Congress that is not carefully
watched"
Mr.. Lewis paid high tribute to the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention.
Woodrow Wilson, he said, is one OF the
most remarkable men that he has ever
| met. With the possible exception OF
Mr. BENJAMIN Richmond, ofCumberland,
| Mr.. Wilson possesses the most remark
| able power of exposition of any man
| he knows, having marvellous faculty for
making himself understood and for pre-,
senung things as they really are. DIR.
| Wilson's nomination was received with
high favor BY the members of Congress,
Mr. Lewis said, and there was no doubt
as to his election. He would carry ALE
gany county and probably the Sixth Con-
gressional District. The Congressman
looks for collapse of the Taft campaign
in the district before the election.
Il believe that the Roosevelt bolt was
the first step towards the formation OF a
new party" continued Mr.. Lewis. III
may not materialize during the Presi
dental campaign, but it is on the way.
Just as the Republican party swallowed
up the old Wing party, the new organi
cation, with Roosevelt at its head. is
going to eliminate the old Republican
party"
Mr.. Lewis said that Woodrow Wilson
| would surely be elected and he pre-
dicted his own election by an increased
majority.
Mr. Lewis was at the City Hotel on
his way to Libertytown, this county
where he addressed a large gathering
at celebration, ana was afterwards the
guest of Mr.. !. w. Kenny, President the
Liberty Bank. He also met and con.
ferred with number of party men in
regard to the political situation. He re.
! turned to Washington the same day.

The Strongest Candidate.

The Democrats have not only chosen
the strongest candidate, judging by his
availability, but man who in all essen
tialS would undoubtedly prove a sensible,
and, at the same time, d progressive
Chief Executive. Governor Wilson is a
scholar and a gentleman and an edu-
Gator; publicist of distinction, a student
OF our government, an upholder and
defender of representative government
and OF constitutional methods, and there
is not the slightest ground for fearing
that he will enter upon any wild course
and consciously or unconsciously do
anything that will bring harm to the
government.
He has made mistakes, of course. but
these mistakes Of judgment appears to
be due to his eagerness to be rid of the
old order of bosses and machines and
jobbery; and it is also to be noted that
when he sets his hand to the task of
cleansing politics he cleaned the Augean
stable in his own State. Roosevelt has
had an enormous prestige from his I'M
bridled talk, but Wilson can point to a
record of accomplishment in constructive
legislation and real reform in New Jersey,
from Atlantic City to the home of lin"
Smith, and from the top to the bottom
in the legislative halls, which is all the
more creditable when the short period Of
his activity is taken into consideration.

THE CHICAGO PLATFORM.

Ever since the Republican party has
been in control OF the government the
platforms that it has adopted have been
of very little real importance in consider
alton Of the voters.
Every platform that it has adopted in
the last forty wears, at least, has had but
one object and but one, in view That
object has always been to deceive the
people and TO catch votes The plat
form that the Chicago Convention adopt
ed had in view the same old attempt at
deception and to get votes.
The Republican party seems not TO
have learned anything. or to have for
gotten anything in the movement and
progress of the people towards exper-
fence and education
In the last forty years, and especially
in the last ten years. the people of this
country, from bitter experience, have
made wonderful strides as to their polit-
ical rights, duties and responsibilities,
bOlil do ~ ulC government anu " tllelT
own prosperity and welfare.
There was a time when party plat
form was hardly considered at all, and if
considered, was thought to be of very
little significance. and not intended to
be, and was intended as matter OF rou-
tine and to secure votes. But a change
has now come over the minds of the
people. They see things differently and
take different view of what they see,
and especially of party platforms.
This is true, both as to State and Ma
tional platforms. This is conclusively
shown in our own State. The people
now demand of political platforms that
tn ey shall be strictly carried out when
the people put the party in power, and
this is right.
A platform of any party IS in fact moth
ing less than a contract between the
political party making the platform and
the voters, who by their votes put, that

Roosevelt Hypocritical, N w
Slogan.

Having discovered that the high cost
of living interests more people than the
recall of judicial decisions, Mr.. Roose-
welt has decided to announce that his
chief slogan in his campaign for a third
term will be an attack on the high cost of
living. Fine But unfortunately for
Mr.. Roosevelt the people who are CON
cerned about the high cost OF living
know pretty we'll what is responsible for
it and that during over seven years as
President of the United States the third
termer did nothing to help force prices
lowei
The new buncome which it is proposed
to feed the people is under all of the
circumstances the most hypocritical vet
adopted and more clearly demonstrates
the lnsincerity of the Roosevelt move
ment than any OF the Others Do the
people know that potatoes were high
in price last year? They most certainly
do. as almost every one eats potatoes.
Do they know that because Of the failure
OF the crop in this country. millions Of
bushels of potatoes were imported from
Ireland and Scotland? They do. They
also know that there is a tariff tax of
twenty-five cents a bushel on potato
more to the first cost and then
tariff tax OF twenty-five cents was added
to every bushel that came into the coun-
try last year and early this wear, and
that the consumer paid that extra twenty
five cents.
This object lesson in the effect of the
Republican tariff on the cost of one of
the neceSsaries of life is fresh in the
minds of the people. 1t appeals to every
household. Even the children know of
it, and Mr. Roosevelt and those who aid
him in picking out new slogans calculated
to appeal to the people will have a hard
time convincing them that the man who
did not make move during the seven
years that he was President to help cut
the high price of living is likely to help
any should he again be elected Presi-
dent. -Philadelphia Ledger.

party in power When that takes place
it becomes a contract between the ma
jority of the voters and the party that it
elects to administer their government and
every principle of good faith to the peo-
Pile demands that the contract shall be
carried out strictly in the interest OF the
people. The people have shown that
unless the party in power lives up to
its platform in the contract, it will be
repudated and turned out by the people
at the next election, or as soon after as it
can be done.
We think that there can be but very.
little doubt that the vast majority of the
voters of this country hold these views,
and the force Of their position will grow
stronger and stronger with the increase
of experience and education In this
view it is well to consider the Chicago
platform.
1t offers to the people-the voters of
this nation, a platform contract, upon
which they ask the majority Of the voters
to continue the Republican party in
power.
Now when a man enters into a contract
with another whether an individual or a
party he ought to be careful to see not
only what he is to do under the terms OF
that contract, and more especially be
careful to see what he is to ret in return
COR what he is 10 do. Now then, the only
thing that the voter has to do under the
Chicago contract is to vote the Repub.
llcan ticket, nominated on that plat
form But what he is to get involves all
OF the most important interests of every
citizen of the United States as well as
the proper protection to the stranger
within our gates.
The people are asked to elect the Re
publican ticket nominated on the Chic
ago platform, and they are asked to re-
elect the same ticket that they elected
four years ago on a Chicago platform
which was then adopted. The platform
four years ago upon which Mr.. Taft was
elected promised the people a reduction
of the tariff and ofthe high cost of living,
and Mr. Taft in his ante-electon speeches
promised repeatedly to do the same
After his election he violated and broke
the platform, and also broke his owr
pledges to the people.
The people are now asked to agar
put faith in a platform of the Republican
party, and also in Mr. TAFT, when botf
the party and Mr. Taft have broken anc
violated not only their platform but also
their word to the people, and instead o
giving the people relief, have increased
their evils, and especially the high cos
of living, and made life still harder tc
bear.
The people are now asked to supper
a man who had the power to reduce the
tariffon the necesSaries OF life and thu,
reduce the high cost of living, and h,
refused to do it. They are now asked
to support platform which makes no
one specific promise of relief to the PEG
pie OF the high cost of living-to supper
a platform without specific promises a
all, and which is merely chart of apol
gies, explanations, excuses and evasions
The plain duty of the intelligent vote
is to reject both the ticket and the plat
form of the Republican party and the
people will then do their duty.
