Washington. Feb. Jack
?onvllle Times-Union, partisan Dem
ocratic, has an editorial In Its Issue
of laat we k strongly supporting the
position of Majority Leader C^ude
- Kltehln a ?d those ttimooratf ted
hare not decided to support- the
President's preparedness program In
Its entirety. The TimM*Unlon cor
rectly states the fact when It says
that "Kltchin is supporting the Dem
ocratic platform and Democratic
doctrine and that it la the President
who has changed his min? and not
Mr. Kltchin. It says:
"Many professedly Democratic *a
yrrs throughout the a)u|trjr"?jb com
mendlng Reytrtbcan - Mann
for supporting the* President and
condemning OanaoCTttiC Leader
Kltohln for oppoelng. '-Mann and
Kltchin are both standing whitf^
they stood when the people elected
them to office and the ?rtsld6nt has
changed. Is it ftrange that the Re
publican leader should stand by him.
when he- advocates Republican doc
trine? Wilson Waa~elected in com
pany with Kltchin, and on two im
portant questions at leaat ho has
gone oyer to the other aide and is
keeping company with Mann. Why
should Mann rnn away?
"in the last presidential campaign
the Republicans advocated the crea
tion of a tariff commission^ and the
Democrats had just sb^ishfd . one.
Pk sldent Wilson was then opposed
to a tariff commission and la' now In
favor of one Representative Kltchin
waa, and Is, opposed to one. Repub
licans have always favored "central,
ifatlon. and Democrats have always
opposed it, but centralisation will
take the longest kind of a forward
strtfle If Congress adopts the Presi
dent's plans for tnllltary prepared
ness.
"The men who are criticising Mr.
Kltchin for standing by the princi
ples of his party- ? his own prlnclplea
? have none of tlfelr own. They
wlah, to curry fkvor with power -
that Is all. When the President
claimed to be ex-offlcio leader of his
party, they hailed him as such. When
ha claimed the power to abrogate
the prlnclplea of the^arty that elect
ed him and repudiate the platform
on which he was sleeted, they con
ceded such rights as a corrol'ary to
the claim of leadership which they
- bad conceded. They stand ready ?o
i . accept anything the President may
do and to denounce any who do not
obey as soon as ho issuss orders, an 1
they do it only because he hss power
that thfry hope will be used In tholr
interests and fear will be us d to
