IepuDllcduS KNOW anu freely dc-
knowledge that they have scrap
on, and as it is fight for a fun
damental principle of government
1t will have to be settled by them
right before the war ceases, and
in settling it right the people will
be with them now, as they have
been in the past.
But how about this much tout
ed love feast" that is being car
ried on between the democratic
tribes at this very hour? Let the
following from Current Litera-
ture of recent date state the sit
uation in its true light. 1t says:
THE feeling engendered by
the attacks upon Mr.. Wilson, es-
pecially those of Mr.. Hearst, is
indicated by an outburst elected
from Mr.. Wilson s campaign man
ager. As quoted in the New
York Evening Post, Mr.. McCombs
says; II would wear my hands
to the bone in the republican par
ty rather than work for Champ
Clark as candidate for the pres
ldency, with the possibility of
William Randolph Hearst as Sec
rotary of state. | know thous-
and good democrats that would
do the same. In further re-
Spouse 1t lS charged by Gov. Will
sons followers that conspir-
acy' exists, by virtue of which
Clark, Harmon and Underwood
are playing into one another's
hands against Wilson. Congress-
man Burleson, of Texas, declares
that the opponents of Wilson have
what is, in effect, "a common
treasury" and that their cam
paign has but one object in view
the defeat of the New Jersey
man. Another who stands spon-
sor for that charge is Frederick
M. Hudson, counsel for the Flor
ida state railroad commission. BY
this alliance" or conspiracy of
Wilson's rivals, it is charged,
Clark has been given the right
of way in Iowa, Wisconsin, Ar
kansas, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kan
sas, California and Illinois. I'm
derwood has been given a clear
road by the other "allies' in
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Harmon has been let
alone in Texas, New York, Del
aware, Maine, several New Eng
land states and Ohio"
The republica party is not seek
ing and does not desire this brant
of harmony" that the democrats
are Boosting so loudly of. The
republicans are meeting the is
sue of standpatism and progress
siveism fairly and squarely, with
an honest purpose of settling the
matter openly and in the interest
of the people. The three can
didates, Messrs. Taft, Roosevelt
and Lafollette. have all gone in
to the same states and presented
their cause and made their pleas
before the people, leaving it to
them to decide as to where they
consider their best interests lie,
and the returns are daily showing
most emphatically what they
think. There has been no sub
terfuge, no carrying of water on
both shoulders as has been true
in the case of Champ Clark, who
has played both sides to win,
and combined with anything and
everything on the reactionary
side in his party to bring about |
the defeat of the only really pro-
gressive candidate, Wilson, even
to the sacrificing of the princi-
pie which the progressive demo-
Gratis claim to be contending for,
and for which Mr.. Clark pretends
to stand: This double dealing
will yet prove the undoing of Mr..
Clark when the final issue is
brought home to the people, as
IL will he soon
