PUBLIC OPINION.
(Philadelphia Press.)
Senator Cummins, an early and
original progressive, has taken a
stand against a third party move
ment. Senator La Follette, it is
declared, also will make known
very shortly that he too proposes
to remain a Republican. Sera
cors Works, of California; Jones,
of Washington; Kenyon, of Iowa;
Brown, of Nebraska, and Gron-
na, of North Dakota, are sup
porters of Roosevelt for the nom
ination, decline to join with him
in a movement intended to defeat
the Republican party. If Roose
velt had heard from the people
before he decided to bolt he ought
to let this message be known
Most of his associates do not
se^jm to have heard the same
news.
Some of them, indeed, are
waiting for more light and re
fuse to decide for or against a
bolt until they have heard from
home. The movement should,
indeed, have one good effect in
compelling Roosevelt men who
have been made Republican elec
tors to vote the Republican tick
et or join the bolters openly.
Otherwise their treachery and
double-dealing would be too odi
ous to be tolerated in any quart
ers.
The bolt is not merely faction
al, but personal. Its object is to
put Roosevelt in nomination for
the presidency. Colonel Roose
velt has won many distinctions.
K nominated in August as pro
posed he will have the additional
ojstinction of being the first man
in the history of American poli
tics who being beaten for nomi
nation at the'national convention
of his party, refused to abide by
the result and headed a .move-
^nent to defeat his own party.
An Aggressive Campaign.
Everyday that passes witness
es the strengheningof the forces
of the Republican i«rty. lliis
process of the destinies of Mr.
Aait to the conclusiow of success
it IS believed will continiie
accelerated pace as the campaign
develops. The reaction of the
country from radicalism is every
where apparent. The men who
stand for ihe overthrow of th6
foundations of the country’s
prosperity are losing influence
with the masses of the people.
The fact there are two canidates
in the field who represent only
panaceas, and each of them is
preparing to exploit his wares
with the vociferousness of an
Indian nostrum vendor has had
the effect of alienating great
masses of the thinking v voters.
Had Roosevelt and Wilson come
into some form of agreement,
pooling their interests in any
manner indicative of mutal con
fidence in the theories they
vanc«, ihe effect would have
been to convince their unstable
followings that they might count
with assurance upon the progress
p' radicalism in a definite direct
ion. As the matter stands, tbp
mdical positions and undefined
and inharmonious, as prepo^a
by the other two leaders of the
radical parties. They are in
need of clarifying, and lacking
the ability to pve them cleanups
Itoosevelt has simply reiterated
his cry of stealing from the peo
ple. Wilson seems to be as de
void of resourcefulness in initia-
ative. His platform is a plnin
straddle upon' every important
subject and lacks the ringing
earnestness of vision and inspir
ation. There is no substance in
it for a really successful exploit
ations of radical positions. It is
simply Democratic hodepodge.
Buncombe is the essence ot i s
phraseology.
The third party advocate sees
that he must play the part of a
pararite in order to, make any
thing like a respectable showing.
He sees that it is up to him, so
to speak, to break up the Demo
cratic party, if^ his scheme of
having the old parties divided
into radical and progressive shall
prevail. He perceives that it is
only through the faculty of being
a first-class trouble maker and a
spoiler that he can save himself
from being utterly submerged.
Hence the real prop of Roosevelt
will be Wilson and not Taft.
The President has a positior.
He has a party. He has a record.
He has a history behind him.
He has the industries of the
country for his support. He has
the wageworker on his side.
Despite the rising prices that go
along wi^h prosperity the wage
worker is better clothed and
housed than ever before in his
life. The farmer is with the
President. He has Jiis farm
cleared of mortgages and is re
velling in thc^best range of prices
for his produce ever recieved in
the history of American agricul
ture.
The Republican party is in the
mood and has the opportunity
for an aggressive campaign. It
vdli reap simply by the thousands
the votes that Roosevelt and
Wilson will fail to secure through
their divisions, and the advertis-
ment thereby of the unstable
and untenable nature of purely
radical propositions and parties.
Democrats and Republicans alike
who stand for the conservation
of capital will vote for Taft.
They only need to have displayed
to them the fact that the Repub
licans by an aggressive campaign
are bent upon safeguarding in
dustry. The Wage-workers
looking to the operation of the
manufactures of the nation for
their 'iontinued employment will
shy away from the man who
wants to bring free trade havoc
among tham—the theoretic Wil
son—and they will equally shy
away from the man who con
fesses he knows nothing about
the tariff—the impulsive Roose
velt. The wageworker wants
work. He does not want rain
bows. He wants continued em
ployment at a living wage. He
does not want an empty dinner
pail begirt with radical ribbons.
Capital and labor were never
closer and the general economy
of the country was never so well
fitted to the betterment of the
social state of-the masses of the
people. Every improvement in
industrial processes, every great
invention in the field of product
ion tends to greatly increase the
volume of popuUr wealth, even
though these things inure to the
good of their exploiters.
With the farmers and the
wageworkers contented and with
capital bent upon protecting the
sources of earning the field for a
campaign of discontent cannot
be regarded as hopeful. The Re
publican party however, may npt
rest upon the increments to their
strength irom the impossible
positions of their opponents
They must work like b^vers and
speak out with confidence and
further the process of disihtegm-
ionof radicalism.tlmt isalm^y
goiug: on. Taft and effective
jDiatioiiialisiri must win the day.
