ELECT WOODROW WILSON

Across a few thousand miles of
salt water party politics never loom
large, but a change of government
is distinctly observable. Europe
is looking across the Atlantic to
see not whether the Republicans or
the Democrats have the greater
strength in the United States, but
whether the American people in
dorse the administration of a Pres
ident who has had upon his should
ers the duties of Office at time
when war in Europe and threaten
ed war between the United States
and Mexico has made those duties
doubly difficult.
From the European point of view
the removal of President Wilson
in violation of the good old fash
toned rule against swapping horses
while crossing the stream-would
create the impression that the re-
moval of the President of France
at this time would create in
America.
Europe would see in the over
throw of President who has
stood firmly for the rights Of
America as a neutral, triumph of
the German element in America,
aided perhaps by the peace any
price native element. Germans who
have been attempting to influence
tn course of the American Govern
ment in the interest of Kaiserj Will
helm would regard it as their vic
tory and would exert themselves to
spread in Europe the news of the
subserviency of the American peo-
pie to the German cause.
The voters of this country ex-
pressed themselves emphatically
four years ago against the princi-
pies and practices of the Republic
can party. 1t would be unreason-
able for anyone to imagine the de-
feat of Wilson and the election of
the candidate of the unreformed
Republican party as mere swing
back to the doctrines of that
party. 1t could not be construed
otherwise-and it would not be
other than-a rebuke of President
Wilson for his stand against the
continuance of acts of violence by
Germany against the lives of Amer
leans upon the sea.
Wilson should be elected, and by
vote leaving no doubt in the
mind of any observer as to the will
ingness of the American people to
stand behind public servant who
defends unhinchingly the independ-
ence of his country. = Courier

propriated $346,3e5,s52.52 for tn
Navy.
When President Cleveland, tn
first Democratic President electe
since the Civil War, took the oat
of Office on March 4, 1885, tn
American Navy consisted of junk
wooden ships with old guns ant
broken down engines.
The American Navy was a joke.
When President Cleveland wen
out of office four years later thu
United States had its first squadron
of modern warships, the famous
"White Squadron" that carried thu
American flag to Europe and once
more inspired respect for American
seapower.
In a speech in the House only the
other day, Representatives Talbot
of Maryland, a member of the Nav
al Affairs Committee, recalled that
Col. Roosevelt in his administra-
ton, invited the Democratic men,
bers of the Committee to go TO the
White House that he might ask
them personally to vote for four
battleships. On that occasion, said
Mr.. Talbot, Col. Roosevelt said:
81 am frank enough to admit
that we could not have carried on
the war with Spain successfully ex-
cept for the navy that was furnish
ed to the country during Cleve-
lands two administrations"
In 20 years the Republican party
in Congress had spent $419,510,-
$500 of the peoples money and
had nothing to show for it. Of
this amount $73,145,O34.57 repre-
sented unexpended balances from
appropriations of previous years.
The money had been wasted; it had
gone to make contractors rich and
to give employment to men at po-
litical navy yards to vote as their
bosses dictated.
In four years, Cleveland's admin
istration, the Democratic party
spent $67,354, 26k3O and had a
squadron of modern ships to show
for it. The money had been spent
honestly and not for the enrich
ment of favored contractors and
political bosses.
A Democratic President, Demo-
cratic Secretary of the Navy and
Democratic Congress created the
modern American Navy and took
the first step for Preparedness.
From 1897 to 1913-16 years
the Republicans were again in con-
troll of the government.
They thought so little of the navy
they let it run down. 1t was the
old system over again of favoritism
and waste.
They could not see the wisdom of
being prepared.
But in those sixteen years they
spent 81 ,5S5, O52,S16.56.
The Republicans admit that under
their administrations the navy had
not been kept up to high water
mark and it was too weak properly
to protect the United States
| against danger.
President Wilson came into office
on March 4, 1913.
In three years the Democratic
Congress has appropriated $543,-
SO2,771.1S for the navy, and when
the program for which appropria-
tions have been made at this ses-
sion is completed the American
Navy will be the second most pow
erful navy in the world, with only
England superior.
The Republicans talk. The Dem.
ocrats act.
Republicans waste money. Demo
Gratis spend money efficiently.
