Carrying II 10 the People

THE announcement of Franklin ID. Roosc
1 welt. Democratic nominee for Vice
President, following conference with Gov
crnor Cox, that both lie and the head Of
the ticket would carry the fight into every
State in the Union during the present presi-
dental campaign, evidences not only the
spirit that wins victories but keen in
sight into the state of public opinion as
well. Aside from the assumption that every
Southern State may he considered safe for
the Democratic ticket, conditions growing
out OF tho war have operated so to con-
fuse public opinion that the usual appeal
to party spirit is less likely tn evoke re-
Spouse from tho electorate in all the States
than at any previous period in The political
history of the country.
In recognition of this state of mind. the
Democratic nominees have rightly Judged
that, excluding the States of tho South.
which can always be depended on to roll
mp Democratic majority, every other State
offers debatabc ground, in which the merits
OF the respective candidates. and the plat
forms upon which they make their appeal
for support will be carefully weighed be-
fore that large element of independent
voters. which is to be the deciding factor
in the present contest. makes up its mind
to which party can best be trusted with
power during the coming crucial four years
when many new problems must be worked
out and applied to the needs of the country
under changed conditions OF progress
Happily, both wisdom and vision guided
the deliberations OF the Democratic convcn-
ton at San Francisco in striking contrast
with the confused counsclS and Opportunist
impulses which characterized the Chicago
convention. with the result that the former
presents for the approval OF the country
constructive platform that outlines Il
working program for the intelligent solu-
ton of every problem with which the coun-
try is confronted. and for the champion
ship OF this program, the party choice rested
upon two outstanding leaders whose con
nection with public matters has strikingly
demonstrated their fidelity to every trust
and courage and capacity for large affairs
that strengthens their claims upon the coun-
try's confidence for tho greater trust they
now seek.
Both candidates are charged through and
through with tho finest spirit OF American
ism, are sound to the core in fundamental
democracy aggressive in its defense, are in
close sympathy with the aspirations OF the
great toiling masses for true application
OF that vital principle of Republican gov
crnment upon which rests the security Of
it's institutions and the happiness and pros
pcrily of the people-"eQual rights for all
and special privileges for none" Both are
splendid campaigners, eloquent and forcible
stump speakers and in the resolve they
have made to enter every State and present
their cause TO the people, we may be sure
they stand IL win every doubtful State,
ard TO make doubtful some which have
heretofore been rock-ribbcd in their sup
port OF the Republican ticket.

truth is that in the army even Generals had
