A DEMOCRATIC OPINION

Under the caption, "An issue
in which every American citizer
is interested, that great Demo
cratic journal, The Baltimore Sum-
printed June 10th, the following
calm criticism upon the revolu-
tionary doings of the Republican
National Committee at Chicago:
Will Americans tolerate political
theft? That is the issue raised by the
high-handed proceedings in Chicago.
1t is no longer question Of Taft or
Roosevelt.
The Ninth Alabama delegates be-
longed by right to Roosevelt. They
were elected in a convention ca led
by a majority-l8-of the regular Re-
publican district committee. The Taft
claimants were sent up by conven-
tion called by u boilers. In other
cases the National Committee had
recognized only delegates chosen by
regular conventions called by msio~
ity of the regular committee. On that
ground numerous Roosevelt delegates
were thrown out. But when the Ninth
Abrams came up that principal was
not applied. The Roosevelt regulars
were unseated, their places given to
Taft bclters.
That is nothing short of plain lar.
CEN. In the first two days session
not a single contest Was--dt cided in
RoOsevelI's favor. Regard ess Of the
evidence, all were taken for Taft. In
the decisions on contt sts 252 seats are
involved, enough to decide the con-
plexion of the convention. The Ma
tional Committee sits as high court
of justice. But the majority of the
members utterly fail to realize their
responsibility. Determined to down
Roosevelt, they are acting like gang
Mr.. Roosevelt says, I'VE have sent to
the Peuilentiary election officials for
deeds morally not one whit worse"
Stufing precinct ballot box is felcn'
but there is no law to reach polit.-
claus who steal delegates of districts
aud whole Commonwealths. Fifteen
Of these SO committee mtn have been
repudiate1 by their own States, and
in two weeks will cease to be members
Of the National Committee. Thirteen
others represent Southern States that
never go Republican. Four more are
from territories which have no vote.
These 2S represent but a fraction OF
the Republican voters. Yet they
presume to set aside conventions and
primaries and dictate the nominee
for president
By the high-handed action of his
representatives, Taft has made larger
issue and given Roosevelt mCre i'm
portant mission. Regardless of his
policies or personality, in the proceed
ings at Chicago Roosevelt stands for
decency in politics. He is making a
brave fight against brigandage.
The issue is not partisan: it is more
than political. 1t is a great moral
issue. II We condone political theft,
if we do not resent Injustice that
effects the whole nation, our civil
cation cannot endure. Such methods
will wreck not merely the Republican
party but popular government. They
are monstrOus and should be iudis-
nantly condemned by the moral senti-
ment OF the whole country as crime
which strikes at the heart of political
decency aud honesty, and as treason
to the people whose mandates it tram
piles uuder foot and whose sovereignty
it deliberately usurps.
