Afs Ttiey Trying to Capture the
Democracy?
SIGNS OF THIS IN NEW YORK.
Since • the Progressives Are Driving
Them Out of the Republican Party,
Are They Seeking a New Haven of
Refugo?—Prcgressives Must Get To
gether and Vote Together.
By JAMES A. JEDGERTON.
NOW that the progressive move-
ment is driving the special in
terests out of the Republican
party., are they seeking asylum
in the Democratic party? Having used
the G. O. P. ship till they made it ob
noxious to the country, are they now
preparing- to desert it in the hope that
they cau reach port in the opposition
craft? It looks that way in New York
state. It was remarked during. the
gathering of the clans at Rochester
that they resembled a convention of a
certain railroad, so many of the attor
neys and political workers of that par
ticular road were present. There were
also the attorneys and political work
er of other roads, to say nothing of
the army of lobbyists for all of the in
terests. including those who are mov
ing heaven and earth to repeal the
racetrack law.
A convention bossed by Charles F.
Murphy anil presii’cd over by Alton B.
Parker advertises its character by its
lenders. It is not only too nauch for a
pro.^'essive Republican to stomach, but
too much for a progressive Democrat.
Up to a few weeks ago it was uni
versally admitted that the Democrats
would probably carry New York this
HENRY L. STIMSON.

The Republican candidate for
governor of New York an
nounced himself some time ago
as a progressive. Mr. Stimson
^ is the man who prosecuted the
^ sugar trust and recovered mil-
^ lions of dollars out of which it
T had defrauded tho government

Banker Charles W. Morse and
sent him to the penitentiary
and prosecuted and convicted
the New York Central and four
other railroads for rebating.

^ old and was educated at Yale.
fall. The situation has changed al-
niost in the twinkling of an eye, and
the presence of the interests at Roch
ester had much to do with working
the change.
The same symptoms have been wit-
i^essccl in other states. It is \ime for
the progressive Democrats to be on
their guard. There should be no mis
take on one point. The revolt of the
American people is not against one
party or the other so much as it is
against the domination of the special
Interests in politics.
For the time being the voters are
striking at the Republican party be-
^au^e that is the party in power and
for tho :^rthei^ reason th^t, crooked
business has been using tlie lenders
of that party. The Democrats have
benefited .not s:> much bec*ause the vot
ers Iiave regained faith in the Democ
racy, but because they have lost faith

Ing down the stand pat Republicans.
The progressives of the country are
going to get together and vote togeth
er somewhere. They wi,l not consent
longer to be whipsawed. fooled and di
vided by party machines used in the
Interest of special privilege. Possibly
they will capture one of the old par
ties and vote together.in that. Possi
bly they will rise above party alto
gether and vote against every agent
of the trusts wherever he appears.
Possibly they will form a new party.
But get together somehow and some
where they will.
The trusts, having used the Repub
lican party as long as they could,
used it until they brought it to the
verge of division and defeat, may now ;
attempt to capture the Democratic
party, and there are plenty of sign?
that this is exactly their game. But
even if they succeed they cannot fool
the voters long. The true followers
of Bryan, the progressive Democrats,
will revolt as the progressive Repub
licans have revolted. Sooner or later
the combination of crooked politics
and crooked business will be driven
into the open and beaten in the open.
The American people have passed
the stage where they care for mere
party labels. At last they intend to
look after their own Intere.sts, t!i<‘ in
terests of the common man. the i ill cr
ests of the public at knge. Tt>day
three-fourths of the country is progres
sive and sooner or later will make its
will felt. The particular place or man
ner of the uniting of these progressive
forces does not so much matter. Tho
chief thing is that they unite. Tho
special interests in politics must bo
driven together in one place and th?
progressives together In one place.
Then let them fight it out. The result
will not be long in doubt when that
conflict takes place.
The oiily safe course Is for the pro
gressive forces to find out where every
candidate stands, then unite on tho
progressive candidate and elect him
regardless of party. Especially should
this course be followed in the congres
sional election. Send no reactionary to
congress, whether he be Democrat or
Republican.
Senator "Cummins’ paper, the Dcs
Moines News, denounces Golonei
Roosevelt and the New York Republic
ans for indorsing Taft and the Payno
tariff. But it must be admitted that
the New York brethren are facing in
the right direction even if they have
not advanced as far toward tho light
as Iowa. Give them time and they
will go tho whole road.

ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE.
Senator Beveridge makes his
attacks on tho Payne-Aldrich
tariff more vigorous as the cam
paign progresses. He is con
ducting a game fight against
odds, but defies the interests to
send enough money into Indiana
to defeat him. He says the
privilege seeking corporations
are trying to capture the De
mocracy. One of the most de
termined stands Beveridge hao
made in the national congress is
for child labor legislation.

Are the special Interests trying to
hide behind state rights as the special
slaveholding Interests tried to hide be
hind the same shield a half century
Igo?
It would seem that the Issue In New
York Is against Tammanylzing the
state. .
Republican Convention In tho Main a
Victory Againct tho Interests.
Despite the disappointment of pro
gressives in some quarters over the
New York indorsement of the Payne-
Aldrlch tariff and Uif Taft administra
tion, tho result in the Republican state
convention was for the most part a
progressive triumph.
It disastrously defeated the old
guai*d bosses.
It declared for the Hughes plan of
direct primaries, the only fair inter
pretation of this plank is that it means
state wide primaries on all oflSces-, as
that was the plan advocated by the
governor, who only consented in tho
end to the elimination of state anti
municipal offices because he thought
he could get nothing better.
It pledged the party to hunt out and
punish the grafters.
It nominated a distinctly progressive
candidate for governor.
This is glci-y enough for one year.
To any one who knows New York
politics the political revolution indi
cated by these results is stupendous
and cannot but lead to farreaching re
sults.
The Third Term Bugaboo.
No sootter had Theodore Roosevelt
come Out flatfootedly for the progres
sive cause than some of the orgaas of
the interests began working them
selves into a frenzy over a third term.
Harper’s Weekly—which my six-yeajr-
old Insists on calling Harper’s Weat-
ling, though I do not know why—ha«
even gone to the length of charging
T. R. with treason.
Why all this hue and cry? The only
utterance of Colonel Roosevelt on the
third term question was a positive
statement that he would not accept
another nomination. That statement
still stands. By neither word nor
deed has he modified it. All the third
term talk comes from others.
It looks as if some of these gentlemen
are doing the dust throwing act. They
do not attack Roosevelt’s principles.
They take up some side issue like an
imaginary desire for a third term—his
utterance concerning the supreme
court, his tebuke to Lorimer or some
personal or trivial thing. They can
not so divert the issue. The question
is. Are Roosevelt’s progressive princi
ples right? Leave the^i)ersonalities
and trivialities to those who are per
sonal and trivial. As to the third term,
why not cross that bridge when we
reach it?
Earlier in the year Duncan E. Mc-
Klnlay reported that there was no In
surgent movement In California. Yet
the progressives swept the state and
defeated McKinlay himself for renom-
Ination to congress. The same Mc
Kinlay campaigned in Maine and
came back to report to Taft that the
state would be carried by the old time
plurality. Evidently Mr. McKinlay
should attend a school for political
prophets.

"Guilt !s Pcrcoriai.”
When crime is committed somebody
commits it. lie is the man to punish.
It matters not how many aliases he as
sumes, how many legal fictions he
hides behind, the law brushes these
aside and says, “Thou art the man.”
“Guilt is personal.” That is tho
most illuminating sentence uttered
since the trust prosecutions started.
When a corporation breaks tho lav.*
there is some man or men ^jsponsiblc
So far as the offending trust is con
cerned, it can be dis.solved. But this
is not sufficient. The real lawbreak
ers in the trust are individuals, and
they should receive the personal pen
alty prescribed for their crimes.
All governmental questions when
analyzed are found to be simple. We
need men of the logic of Lincoln to
go to the root of a matter and de
termine its fundamentals. In this day
of seeming complexities the old morali
ties still apply. The one of the Ten
Commandments^ that has now become
a political Issus is, “Thou shalt not
steal.”
After giving La Follette a plural
ity of 102,000 for senator Wisconsin
adopts a more progressive platform
than ever, condemning the Payne tar
iff and demanding physical valuation
of railroads, the initiative, referendum
and recall, Income tax, national con
trol of natural resources, anti-lobby
law, empl'oyers’ liability, child labor
legislation and other measures In kind.
A specif^ from Marseilles, France,
says that it is rumored that there
liave been mi^y deaths from cholera
tmong the Ittlian Immigrants In that
city.
Colonel Bryan is becoming some
thing of an insurgent himself. Despite
all the hue and cry against him, every
progressive and every fair minded
manly man will rest)ect him more than
ever for the fight he is now conduct
ing. It makes for indei)endence and
decency.
Congressman Boutell, who was re
cently defeated for renomination in
the Illinois primaries, says insurgency
is like the measles. Presumably he
meant it is catching. Then, again,
measles when repressed and nrot al
lowed to come cut freely are some
times fatal.
Professor Bombarda, the Republi
can deputy and anti-clerical who was

Lisbon, Portugal, says a dispatch
from that city.
