ed by an overmastering desire to win,
they denounced loyalty to conviction
and principle as stubborn selfshness.
In the convention they put forward no
platform-no issues. They made no
fight against the reactionary platform
adopted. They substituted vulgar
personalities and the course epithets
of the prize ring for the serious con-
sideration of great economic problems
and for the time being brought ridi
cule and contempt upon great cause.
"But the progressive movement
does not consist of few self-consti-
tuted leaders. 1t consists of millions
of thoughtful citiz ems drawn together
by common belief in certain prin-
ciples. They will permit no combina-
ton of special interests and political
expectancy to secure control of the
progressive cause, which is ultimately
to redeem democracy and restore gov

FREE WILL

In his elaborate apology to Mr..
Bryan for the enthusiasm with which
many of the Champ Clark men at
Baltimore arrayed themselves under
the standard of the Parker Belmont
Ryan Murphy combination, William
r. Hearst, who is said to have in
spired that brilliant movement, re-
marks that "the greatest liberty is
the best Democracy.
This might pass as a maxim or an
aphorism worthy of preservation in
the next edition of familiar quota
tions if it meant anything or was in

false and foolish, we expect never
to encounter it again.
The peculiar kind of liberty that
leads men to embrace Thomas +.

ton but to Democratic damnation.

is exercised in plain view of the
judgment. New York World.

MR.. TAFT

The Editor of this "Small Fry" in
Journalism joins with a number OF
good and wiser heads in saying, that
he believes Mr.. Taft to be a gentle
man of integrity and character, de-
serving the respect of all American
citizens. Vituueration heaped upon
him and epithets flung at him, by an
INSCRIPTIONS, disloyal, self-seeking.
egotistic, ambitious man will have
little influence with thinking people.
Mr.. Taft may not be capable of
filling the Presidential Office but thi
should not consign him to the dung
heap. He may lack frmness, and be
rot entirely free of selfishness. Who
is? With as few, perhaps, of the
weaknesses of the average public man,
and more of the virtues than MANY of
them, he should have that respect and
appreciation which is due a distin-
guished citizen and gentleman

The Democratic Platform

The platform to be submitted to
the Democratic Convention today an
propriately recognizes five great is
Sues. They are the extortionate tariff,
the lawless trusts. the high cost of
living, the third term and the propos-
ed Aldrich bank.
BY its own fragrant record, no less
than by its recent declaration of nrin-
ciples, Republicanism is boastful of
the tariff, apologize as to the trusts,
mendacious rs to the cost of living,
split wide open as to the third term,
and insincere and devious in it's advo-
cacy of what amounts to new Bank
of the United States, controlled, as
the earlier ones were, by private in
terests.
Enabled by circumstances thus to
take familiar ground against privi-
lege. monopoly, oppression, imperial
ism and money misused. Democracy s
faith is courageously, plainly and
soberly stated throughout. If it be
progress that the people demand, they
will find in this pronouncement more
advanced stand than any group of
self-styled progressives can be expect
ed to take. If the errors of Republic
anism are to be corrected, those who
participated in them and long profited
by them are hardly to be intrusted
with the task
The Democratic platform invites
attention at once to the fact that the
question before the people is not the
personal quarrel between Messrs Taft
and Roosevelt, or the disagreement
between the Eastern and Western
branches of the Republican party. II
is the perfidy of the controlling ele-
ment of the Republican organization.
It is the wicked subserviency of the
organization to selfish interests. 1t
is the timidity and inefficency of the
organization as pretended champion
of public rights. 1t is Republican
ism broken pledges. 1t is a Nation
betrayed.
There would be no excuse for a
Democratic party which could not in
these circumstances write a platform
sound in principle and appealing in
sentiment. Voicing the opinions and
the aspirations of true Democrats, the
Baltimore Convention speaks also for
hundreds of thousands of Independents
and former Republicans who will not
be disappointed.
IF in its candidates its deeds shall
square with its words, Democratic
progressiveness will be about all that
the country will need in that line this
vear.-New York World.

HARMONY.

AS these lines are written, Monday
afternoon, the Baltimore con vention
is still in session, and no nomina-
tion has been made, although that
great body has taken scores of bal
lots. Nearly week has passed, and
the physical as well as mental strain
of this sweltering convention cannot
be conceived of by the outside world.
1t has been one of the most remark
able conventions ever held, and one
of its most remarkable features,
judging from the reports sent out.
is the good feeling existing, and the
entire lack of bitterness. Not shadow
of bolt or split has appeared up to
this time, only tenacity and 10y
atty to favorite candidates, which is
commendabe rather than censurable.
The "persona equation" may have
been in evidence, but personal am
bition which brushes, if needs be, its
opponent by any sort of Islander and
fraud, was notably aud joyously alb
sent. A number of Republicans pre-
dicted that the Chicago Convention
would be duplicated or repeated in
Baltimore, and no doubt earnestly
wished it might be so. Every Demo
crat--every loyal lover of his country
-shoud thank high heaven that such
disgraceful things as were said and
deeds that were done, Haunted in the
face of disgustcd public by the
leaders at Chicago, were not repeated
In Baltimore. The Democratic leaders
at Baltimore are gentlemen.
Taking it all in all the Baltimore
convention will go down in history as
one OF the most remarkable, if not
important, held in this country for
an hundred years.

La Toilette Says IRIS to Blame

Until Roosevelt came into the
open as candidate for the presidency
five months ago, there was a strong
and rapidly growing progressive
movement within the Republican
party. It was based upon clearly
defined principles. 1t had assumed
national proportions. "Inio this
movement. when it gave promise of
national success, Roosevelt projected
his ambition to be President at this
time. He spent weeks planning n
spontaneous CALI for himself. He
responded by announcing he would be
receptive candidate. An enormous
campaign fund was raised. Upon
Theodore Roosevelt rests the RESPONSE
bility for having divided the progress
sives in their first national contest +"

Keenest Struggle i'm A. Years.

Not since 1868 has another Demo-
cratic National Convention required
more than five ballots to nominate a
candidate for President.
in 1908 Bryan was nominated on
the first ballot; in 1904 Parker was
nominated on the first ballot; in 1900
Bryan was nominated on the first
ballot; in 1896 Bryan was nominated
on the fifth ballot, in the most turbu-
lent convention the Democratic party
has held Stree 1860.
In 1892 Cleveland was nominated
on the first ballot, and he was named
on the first ballot in 1888. In 1884,
when he was first candidate for
President, the second ballot determin-
ed the nomination. In 1880 Hancock
was named by the changes that took
place after the second ballot had been
taken and before the result was an
nounced. In 1879 Tilden was named
on the second ballot, and in 1872
Greeley. who had been nominated by
the Liberal Republicans, was endorsed
on the first ballot
In 1868 there were twenty two
ballots taken before nomination was
reached. On that ballot Ohio gave
twenty one votes to Horatio Seymour.
Those were all the votes cast for
him, but before the result could be
anr Dunced the convention had STAN
peded to Seymour and he was nomi-
mated.
1t is an interesting fact that the
Baltimore Convention has furnished
the most protracted contest for a
Presidential nomination that the
Democratic party has had in f forty
four years. New York World.
