APOSTLE OF NATIONAL CON-
CESSION AND CONTRACTION"
The Democrats in Washington.
aided by a small clique of railroad
Republicans, have surrendered the
rights of American citizens in the
Panama Canal.
ed a measure for the benefit of
American shipping, but they have sur
rendered the Independent action of
this country, and in all probability,
the fundamental rights of this country
in the greatest and most important
achievements of modern times.
IF this country had been defeat
ed in a disastrous war, 1t could not
have beer expected to make a more
humiliating surrender of independ-
ent action and valuable rights than
the Democratic Administration in
Washington has made at the mere
suggestion of England and Japan.
THE surrender of the canal is a
national disaster, and the party which
made that surrender is a continual
menace to the honor and dignity of
the United States and to the welfare
of our citizens.

country's good, for the common good
of the citizens, must be deposed from
power and deprived of its opportuni-
ties for further injuring and disgrace
ing the nation.
"Our citizens who consider pat
riotism above partisanship, who think
more of the welfare of their country
than they do of the advantage of any
party, should unite to depose the
Democratic party from power and to
whip it's traitorous representatives out
of the House of Representatives and
out Of the Senate of the United States
at the next election.
ut Is not merely President Wilson
who has refused to follow the dec
larations of the Democratic platform
and to supply the country with the
adequate navy which that document
demanded. The Democratic party has
followed humbly and ~cravenly at the
heels of the President.
1T is not merely President Wilson
who has repudiated the Democratic
doctrine OF reciprocity, a doctrine
which would have compensated for
the invasion of u markets at home
by the opening of reciprocal markets
to out products abroad. h Demo-
cratic party has selfishly slavishly fol-
lowed in the Wilson a for such
crumbs of patronage as he has thrown
its members.
ut is not merely President Will
son who is responsible for the auto
cratic rejection of an Act of Congress
providing for preferential duties in ia
vor of products imported into this
country in American ships. The DEM
ocratic party has timidly and sub
serviently permitted Wilson to be an
autocrat and to dictate its policies for
a payment of patronage.
at is not merely President Will
son who has neglected his duties and
the declarations of the Democratic
platform in regard to the protection
of the lives and the honor of our citi-
zens in Mexico. The Democratic party
has endorsed every dishonor and ap-
proved every disgrace.
ut is the Democratic party which
should be punished and repudiated.
"1t is the unfaithful Democratic
members of the House of Represen-
tatives and the ~traitorous Senators
who should be expelled from office.
There is no national recall in this
country, and 1t is not possible to re-
move President Wilson until the end
of his four years term. But 1t will
be possible to remove the Democrats
in Congress and to deprive the Demo-
