Omissions Through Fear

EoR party which once numbered with
in its ranks fearless fighting politicians,
strong men, who, though often mistaken,
were not afraid to let tho voters know
where the organization stood and accept tho
consequences, the Republicans have fallen
deep in degradation. That gathering of
leaders at Chicago, ostonsibly met for high
purpose and loyal cndeavor, contained more
political cowardicc than any other similar
gathering i'll the whole history OF the coun-
try. The upshot of their craven fear is
hodge-podge, colorcss platform, the coward
ly omissions of which are likely to work
more harm TO the party than all its color
less commissions.
Those omissions are Of so grave a char
acter that it is no wonder the party lead
ers responsible for them, now that their
work is over and their rcactionary ticket
and platform have been damned through,
trcmblo for the result as they review the
product of the Chicago convention and
await eXpectantly the beating Of the public
pulse. That they have driven away from
Republican support vast blocks of voters,
blocks which admittedly might have been
garnered at the polls had a moro courage
Gus course been adopted, no one doubts
Labor, perhaps almost in it's entirety is
lest to the Republicans. Surrender to tho
was impossible, but the convention, so
adroitly did it handle certain other bother
some issues, might have adopted a more
conciliatory tone, one that would have Sc
cured the moderate approval of labor and
still have been so purely American in senti-
ment as to have commended itself to the
nation at large. But big business" feared
labor, and preferred to treat. it contemp-
tuousy Hence, labor's lasting cnmity
The Republicans have lost the soldier
vote. They ovcrplayed their hand in Con-
gress by making howery promises of cash
bonuses. They played politics to the end
Of the session, but when the test came
they feared to offend business interests by
such an unexampled raid on the Treasury
That fear followed them to Chicago, and
the soldiers, all promises broken, get nothing
more substantial than kind words. They
will not forget
The Irish vote has been lost the Rcpub-
lican fear having left them without so
much as n few kind words. In Congress
they were brave enough They were the
stanch friends of the Irish, carrying their
loyalty to the verge of open insult to Great
Britain, but in convention panic-strckcn,
OF threatened BY the Wall Street club, their
sympathy was buried beyond resurrection.
The drys are dissatisfied, and their dis
affection will spread as the campaign grows
older Urged to take stand for prohbi-
ton. the platform makers ignored them.
With these outstanding errors OF omis-
sion, and there are others of more or less
importance, the Republicans may we'll ask
themselves as to the results. A little more
honesty, little more boldness, n little less
subserviency TO Wall Street dictation and
their convention endeavors would have had
brighter chance for popular Endorsement.

An Excuse for Party Apathy

THE ticket selected at Chicago will COM
mand the support OF Republican regu-
lars, those whose loyalty to the party is self
reckoned as greater virtue than firm
adherence to principle in the treatment of
questions OF public policy, but it will evoke
10 enthusiasm from the rank and file who
usually vote for the conventions choice
when there is no impelling reason for turn
ing against it, or at least affording excuse
for an apathctic attitude OF unconcern rs to
its fate. 1t would be too much to affirm
that such impeling reason exists, but the
excuse for apathy is written large, both in
the meaningless platform and in the color
less candidate named for the head Of the
ticket
1t is ticket that will arouse no great
amount Of party enthusiasm in any sec
ton Of the country, and in some sections
it will be received with open party hos
tility. because of its having been hand
picked by the leaders OF the reactionary ele-
ment. Notably, this will prove to be the
case IN the West, where the progressive ee-
ment Is strong and is disinclined to aban-
don principle for expediency, especially
when TO do so means thrustng in the back
ground policies regarded as essential to the
national wel-being. The progressive elc-
ment OF the party, therefore. will see in the
triumph OF the ticket Il victory for special
privilege at the sacrifice OF mass interests
upon whose just recognition and fair treat
mcnt the even flow Of national benefits is
absolutely dependent To this element then
the ticket will appeal in vain for hearten-
ing support, and the chances are that il
Will fall far short Of polling the full party
strength.
II the Democratic party shall prove equal
to its opportunity, take advantage of the
mistakes made by the Republican conyen-
ton, present an intelligent and COURAGEOUS
platform, in which constructive policies
dealing with all live issues are proclaimed
ana puts on the platform a clean, strong
man who can be trusted 10 fulfill it's prom
ises when elected. it will not only poll the
full party strength, but will present an ap-
peal that will command the support of the
| larger share of this undetermined and dis
satisfied vote
