This truth had become apparent in Mr. Rose

There can be no dispute Of these statements

General Comment
Hard on the peopIc.

The Tirnes-Dispatch has it's own peculiar
method or supporting party and people The
ftmes- Dispatch claims allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party, Int the best It can say for its
party Is that the Democratic party USUALLY
GENES into power because of the mistakes and
blunders or Republican admfnistratio
we must congratulate the Times Dispatch on
Its unique method OF condemning in one SEN
tence both It's own and tho opposition party
We Judge II looks on the people as being con-
s'anily in n quandary 70 whether they snail
choose tho Republican devil or the Democratic
deep blue Richmond Virginian
II is possible the Times Dispatch was intimat-
ing that the Republican party Numbered In it's
rarity administration having up two candidates
In 1912 and that in consequence Of this mis-
'ake the Democrats were successful. 1t is quite
rae that If the Taft and Roosevelt votes had
been consolidated they would have pulled
through enough states to have carried the cleo
toral college. Admitting this IS a different thing
from concedipr that all the votes that were
cast for Taft and Roosevelt running in oppest-
non 10 each other. and Incidentally, almost.
against the Democratic nominee would have
been cast for either II tho other had been out
OF the way. There are many reasons for be-
HeVfng that II Roosevelt had been the candidate
many who actually gave tnctr b811ots TO Presf-
cent Taft would have given them to Mr. WI
son and thereby would have ensured his sue
cess. on the other hand, If Mr.. Taft alone had
been the hope Of the Republican party in 1912
i. is quite certain that large number of voters
who gave their support to Colonel Roosevelt
would have given it to the Democratic nominee,
These statements only other ways Of sa ying
that the Republican party no longer comma nd
cd the confidence OF the country. In those cases
where II professed attachment and commitment
20 sane economic views its professions were
cisrusted and its record Of subser vience TO mo-
nopolstic interests had altenated a very large
number OF old-lne a1horents and repulsed the

A RARE TREAT.

Those who love scrap are promised their
hearts desire when Theodore Roosevelt and
William Barnes meet IN their famous libel suit
today. The Colonel charged that Barnes was
in corrupt agreement with Charles w Murphy
to debauch and plumber the State OF New York.
Barnes replied with a libel suit against the
Colonel, and Syracuse is the stage where the
drama begins,
The Colonel may not be able to prove his
statements. that has always been one of his
little weaknesses. Whatever this suit may re-
zeal, however will not alter the essential truth
OF the charge that somebody, somehow, some
time, has succeeded most remarkably in doing
just what Mr.. Roosevelt says Mr.. Barnes has
done. Now it may not have been Mr.. Barnes;
that gentleman says it wasn't. But it must
have been somebody and so for once the coun
try, New York included, will have to conclude
that even If he has the names crooked Cor the
crooked names) Mr. Roosevelt has the facts
straight
But then conceding that much, has he told
us anything new, anything we were not all per.
fectly well aware of without the telling?
