TORIES EATING CROW

1t is amusing to watch the edi-
torial grimaces of the reaction
ary Democratic newspapers the

No ieer, no jeer, no sneer at
Governor Wilson was too unfair

thanks to that giant magician
Bryan-whom these same tory
organs hate as cordially as they

forefront of Democracy's battle,

But oh! what a dish of crow!

MORE TAIL THAN DOG

The EUeTy EUening, whose com

idential nominee, Governor vii

caustic enough, after a diverting
wriggle to crawtish decorously
and yet not damn him with faint
praise, sums up its Wilson Mar

And yet for the life of US we cant
quite see how these caudal vir.

DEMOCRATS AS sEcrIoNALIsTs

The supporters Of Woodrow Wilson
are. circulating through several oflthe
Southern States cards which place the
geographical line squarely In Demo
lcratic politics. Woodrow Wilson
born in Virginia, educating in North
Carolina and Virginia, married in Sa.
yannah." This Is one legend on these
cards. Here is another:: Oscar I'm.
oerwood, born OF Union parentage
spent his early days in Minnesota, and
only happened to settle in Alabama.'
Thus some of the unwise supporters
OF the New Jersey governor are try.
ing to fire the Southern heart against
the Alabama aspirant.
This Is bad morals as we'll as bad
politics. Sectlonallsm split the Dem,
ocratic party long ago, precIpitated
the bloodiest civil war in history, and
incidentally pushed that party into
the background, aud kept 1t there for
the greater part OF half century.
And now the friends OF one of the
prominent Democratic presidential as.
lpirants push the sectional line again
to the front. While the Republicans
dropped the sectional issue long ago,
and agree to let bygones be bygones,
some OF the Democrats are not willing
to draw theHsitonge over the events
of 1876. AS We see In the case
here mentioned, an element OF the
Democracy is trying to arouse South.
ern prejudice against Underwood be.
cause his father CHANGED to be a
Union man in secession days, and be
cause he resided for a time in a West,

The sectional issue Is .ahe very last
thing that Democrats ought to raise
Geographical politics scourged that
party in the old days as no other
party In any great nation ever was
scourget in the entire history of rep
resentative government. In the Dem.
ocratic National Convention OF 1914
the Southern element turned against
Van Buren,. Northern man, because
he refused to surrender to the slave
interest, and nominated Polk, man
who had not been considered in con.
nection with the candidacy until after
several nnarailing ballots had been
taken. In the Charleston gathering
OF 1860 the Southern delegates walked
out OF the convention because the
supporters of Douglas, nearly all Of
whom were Northern men, had a ma.
jorlty. though they lacked the two,
thirds necessary to nominate. The
consequences of that schism, with It's
1.-TWO rival Democratic tickets, ought

1t seems that the lesson has been gor.

THE ovERDREssED SCHOOLGIRL
