the Administrations policies since the Demo
Gratis took charge in March 1918. in a series
of speeches in the different cities on his way
back from the coast.
In other Words the return trip will be
series of campaign speeches in which the
President will make the effort to convince the
voters that his stewardship has been good for
the country, and that it deserves another term
for him as President; it will be an effort to
mend the gaps In the fence preparatory to
1916. <Giz ~ 81
But before the President convinces the
country that his Administration should be
continued for four years after the expiration
of this term. he should make sure that tho
next Democratic nomination will be his.
1t is usual for party to give its President
a second chance at the office-an endorsement
of his policies by making him the standard
bearer to continue the Administration policies,
in other words it is customary for party to
extend the second nomination to a President
as token OF party appreciation and conf
dence.
But it is by no means sure that Mr.. Wilson
will have the next Democratic nomination
handed to him on a silver platter.
There are thousands and thousands of Dem
ocrats who still remember how Hon. Champ
Clark had the last nomination taken from him
bv such treachery as that of his supposed
friend, Mr. Bryan, and these thousands know
that Mr.. Bryan was rewarded tor his treach-
cry by the highest office in the Wilson Cabinet
An office which he proves totally Incapable
of filling as it should be filled.
There are other thousands who know from
experience that the Wilson Administration
has not lowered the cost of living, as it
promised to do, but has increased it instead,
and these people who have felt the pinch OF
hunger gnawing at their stomachs are not 60
ing to break their necks to again vote for the
man who caused their suffering.
There are still other thousands of Demo-
Gratis here in the South who have always voted
the Democratic ticket who will balk like steers
at giving Mr.. Wilson the 1915 nomination.
They know that he has put the South in a
worse condition than she has been in since her
recovery from the effects of the Civil War,
although he claimed to be a Southern man
before his election.
These people know that he allowed the
National banks to lend to Wall street stock
and security holders twenty billion dollars,
if they wanted it, while he refused to lend to
the Southern cotton growers two hundred and
fifty million dollars in order to save them
from financial ruin.
Right now, counting interest, there lays in
the United States Treasury about two hun
dred and fifty million dollars, illegally taken
from the South as cotton tax, but not one
cent of it could the Southern growers get to
help tide them over their present troubles
The South will not be in any big hurry to
help make Mr. Wilson President again-she
would, at heart, prefer a Yankee to the Will
son kind of "Southerner."

no better than Lorimer, who was finally
kicked out after months of delay, during
which time he had been permitted to vote on
all questions before the Senate.
Penrose will be expected to deliver the
goods in the way of legislation for the ST.
100000 spent on him by the Interests that put
up the money to elect him, and it is the duty
of the Senate to kick out Penrose.
No honest man could spend 100000 on
an election, and any election in which that
huge sum is spent carries the proof of bribery
and corruption beyond any doubt.
There were three candidates for the Senate
from Pennsylvania-Pal Democrat
Pinchot, ogressive-Penrose. Republican,
and the three of them together could not have
legitimately spent what Penrose alone spent.
Will the Senate promptly rid itself of Pen
rose, as it should, or will it wait for public
opinion to force his retirement?
3
The Senate continues to reject the Presi-
dents nominations, and it looks as if Mr. Will
son will have to yield to the Senate, or face a
fight that will prove disastrous to him In the
long run.
In the first place, the Senate has the Con
stitution Of the United States on its side, and
in the second place the several different Sena-
tors have more political strength with the
people in their several different States back
home than the President has.
Letting President make political appoint
mnets throughout the land is bad idea any
way, for it gives him the chance to play poll
tics and build up political machine in a
manner never intended by the founders of our
government.
For that very reason the Senate was vested
with the power that it is now exercising
another instance of the foresight of our fore
fathers.
In letter to Robert Fulton, IN 1906, Mr.
Jefferson urged upon the inventor the further
study and development of the torpedo and
submarine boat, as Mr. Jefferson believed that
these two instruments would some day be i'm
portant factors in warfare.
See how time has verified the prediction of
Mr.. Jefferson
In the present European war the Submarine
boat has been the terror of Greet Britain, tho
battleship of the dreadnanght type being as
helpless before one Ct these little under water
fighters as wo13ld be the old wooden vessels
Of John Paul Jones' time.
The submarine and the floating mine
which might be called floating torpedo
have played havtc with British ships right
at England's very door, and the mention of a
submarine boat causes a creepy feeling to run
up the British spine.
Mr.. Jefferson saw, over a hundred years
ago, what would be the future dangers in
warfare, just as he saw what would be the
future dangers of the Republic which he was.
so instrumental in building
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1915-01-14

it does not mean by long shot that he is
sure Of reelection.
He holds his office today because Mr.. Taft
split the Republican party by forcing his
nomination for a second term, and If Mr..
Wilson coerces the Democratic party into do
ing in 1916 what Mr.. Taft coerced the Repub-
llcans into doing in 1912, the result for Mr..
Wilson In 1916 may be exactly what it was
for Mr.. Taft in 1912
If Mr.. Wilson does land the next nominal
ton there will be more Democrats to remain
at home on election day than ever before in
the history of the party.
And this stay -at-home vote sometimes de-
cides an election-the fellow who remains at
home on election day is about as dangerous as
the fellow who votes "agin' you.
So while it is customary for the party to
extend the nomination to it's President to sue,
coed himself, it is often disastrous for both
the President and the party when the prece-
dent is followed.
And while we are speaking of the 1916
nomination, we wonder what has become of
the plank in the last Democratic platform
limiting the President to one term?
We haven't heard a word of it since Messrs.
Wilson and Bryan got in power
The Presidents Ship Purchase bill is now
being debated in the Senate, and the President
IS bringing every bit of pressure to bear for
it's passage that he possibly can, while not
finger is being lifted in behalf of Rural
Credits, which was so solemnly promised us
all during the time that Congress was legaliz-
ing the Money Trust.
Not only does the Baltimore platform
pledge Rural Credits, but the President an
nounced, positively, at the last session that
the Rural Credits measure would be taken up
at this session and passed, thus partially
allaying the demand from all over the country
for Rural Credits legislation that would give
some relief to the farmers.
But few days ago Mr.. Wilson stated that
no extra session would be called to consider
Rural Credits, because there was no urgent
need for such legislation-in effect he an
nounced that the Ship Purchase bill had the
right of way and the farmers could scratch
for themselves.
It doesn't matter that the Democratic plat
form pledges tit doesn't matter that Presi-
dent Wilson promised it last sJmmer-Rura1
Credits would not work we'll for the Money
Trust and there will be no Rural Credits.
The National banks have been given what
they want-the Railroads have been given
what they want-the manufacturers have been
given what they want-the farmers have been
given nothing that they want.
Never before did the farmers need Rural
Credits legislation worse than they need it
mOao. but that doesn't concern the White House
the least bit-the farmers may 60 to grass
