Democratic Defeat Sure.

No one outside the Democratic party
and the scattered remnants of the Pro
gressive organization doubts the re-
turn to power of the Republican party
in 1915. The conditions making for
the Reputation Of the Democrats re-
main and will be intensified with the
passage of the months. They have the
bourbon fatality of never learning any
thing. They have doomed themselves
to be condemned by the people be-
cause they have condemned the
people to suffer the infiiction of par
tisan legislation that was conceived
and effected without regard for ma
tional conditions or national ends.

Mccall Makes Tariff Speeches.


The Republican battle cry in Massa-

Congressman Samuel Mccall as sup
port of President Wilson on interna-

honor, but opposition to him on his
national policies affecting the affairs
of the American people, at gather
ing Of Republican leaders of the First
congressional district held at Stock
bridge.
Mr. Mccall declared that the fall
campaign in Massachusetts, will be
the opening gun of the presidential
campaign of 1916. The tariff law he
branded as failure, and said that the
prosperity of the country demands a
return to Republican policies.-Law-

EARLY SESSION NEEDED

There should be an early session
Of the congress of the United States.
The interests of the country require
that it be called into session months
before the first Monday in December.
1t is possible that foreign relations
may demand its meeting within 80
days. but whether or not a crisis oc-
ours requiring such speedy meeting
there can be no doubt that in late
September cr early October It should
be called to care for the interests of
the country.
The people are demanding protec-
tion of our rights as neutrals upon
the oceans.
They appreciate the impossibilities
of their government maintaining those
rights by moral suasion. citation of
broken laws or pointing to the ten
commandments.
No law, either human or divine, but
has been violated by the factions in
Mexico and by the belligerents upon
the oceans and the continents.
The people of the United States
stand for moral suasion, but when
that fails they know they must resort
to powerful navy and strong and
numerous army under the war demon.

of Europe and Japan. and they should
have such navy and army at the ear

to provide these essentials for the

this government may as well look that

demonstrated that not a nation on
earth was fully supplied to carry on
defensive war Tor over so days so
far as cannon, small arms, ammuni-
ton and material and supplies gen
orally were concerned.
Even Germany failed in its advance
to the Marine because of its trans
portation deficiency, and lack of fresh
troops. food, cannon and all kinds of
ammunition on the fighting line caused
the retreat from the front of Paris.
Supplies in abundance in Coblentz,
Metz, Liege, Megdeburg and other
fortresses were useless to the troops
on the Marine when the transportation
lines failed them.
The lack of supplies for British,
French and Russian forces has been
felt from the very first day of the
war, and these have suffered losses by
reason of them.
Congress should meet and appropri-
ate for supplies necessary to meet
modern warfare conditions.
Neither the army nor the navy is
amply supplied at this time.
The revenues of the country should
be increased.
The republic must have it's own mer-
chant marine.

do, and work that should be done
promptly. Washington Post.

Democratic sueeess Unlikely.

It would be worse than useless-it
would be an affront-to tell voters now
that a protective tariff is responsible
for the high cost of living: that the
Republicans when in power were ex.
travagant and even wasteful In ap-
propriating money for the support of
