_VOL. LXXXV. THE STRONG-MAN PFARTY The Voles Isa T. U's bat the Smtiments are Mr, Perking' TT, K, Hefuses to Retire from the Presidency. P The call for a new party does not say it—indeed, it contains nothing be- yond a gloomy recital of immitigable woes for which no specific remedy is even suggested-—but the movement obviously has these msjor purposes, One is the glorification of Theodore Roosevelt. Another is revenge upon Mr. Taft and the Republican party. Last but by no means least is the ad- vocacy of Mr. Roosevelt's revolution- ary New Nationalism and George W. Perkin’s theory of government Big Business. If revenge alone were sought for the alleged theft of the nomination at Chicago, no new political organization would needed. The Democratic party is an instrument already at hand that might be used to that end. But New Nationalism, which is gov- ernment by one man ; the third-lerm ambitions of Mr. Roosevelt, who re- fuses to retire from the Presidency, and the plan of Mr, Perkins to subor- dinate Congress and the judiciary to a | Court of Big Business, can find no | worthy representative in any of the parties now in the field, Thus the new party exhibits at ouce the controlling motives of imperialism and reaction. It is not progressive Democracy. It is Democracy in re treat, seeking refuge in the arms of the strong man. It is not reformatory in any sense. It contemplates the aban- donment of reform sud a surrender to the very represented by George W, Perkins, late of J. P. Mor- gan & Co., which’ have consistently re gisted reform. When Oyster Bay praises the extor- tionate tariff and demands the repeal of the Anti-Trust law, the voice is Mr. Roosevelt's but the sentiments are Mr. Perkins’. When Messrs. Perkins, Munsey and McCormick insist upon a third term, they that Wall street, the steel Trust and the Harvest- er Trust know their man and are not ungrateful. What the new partly is to attempt is a change io the form of the National Goverument, If our would-be dicta- tors, political and fiaancial, were al- ready omuipotent, could they find an easier way to divert attention from the reforms that they fear, m———————— WILNONS ELEUTORAL be interests, show © VOTE There possibility that the election of a president will be thrown into the House of Representatives, It will require 266 electoral votes to and 178 is no choose a President, must be conceded to Gov. Wilson at the outset, These 175 voles are represented by the states of Alnbams, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, iana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Teanessee, Texas and Vir- ginia, That makes it necessary for Gov, Wilson to win 88g0ut of the remaining 353 electoral votes. Twenty-nine of them can be found in New Jersey and Iudiana, which are sure to go Demo- cratic. Fifty-two more can be found in New York and Connecticut, which wre reasonably certaiu to go PDemo- cratic. Nebraska, with 8 votes, would give Gov. Wilson the necessary majority. But Democratic prospects are much brighter than this. Mr. Bryan carried Colorado aud Nevada in 1908, Gov. Wilson is likely to carry them this year, with the addition of North Da- kota, The three states have 14 elec. toral votes, Wilson's chances in Ohlo are better than afi’s or Roosevelt's, and Ohio bas 24 votes, Senator Gard- ner predicts that Wilson will carry Maine, with 6 votes, aud nobody fa- miliar with political conditions in that state can regard this as an idle boast. In addition, Democratic prospects in Massachusetls are as good as any other prospects, and they are anything but ‘ discouraging in Pennsylvania, Mass achusetls has 15 electoral votes and Pennsylvania has 38, Any reasonable calculation based on the existence of a Republican party would give Wilson more than 300 eleg- toral votes, but with the Hepublican party shot to pieces it ils a question whether the warring Taft-Roosevelt forces will save anything of value from the wreck, A AIA ATARI The Democratic party has revived one of the best traditions of the Re- public in nominating for Vice-Presi- deut a statesman of presidential size.

COMMITTEE George Benner, THE THURSD PROGRAM AY AFTERNOON HW Dolegates Schuyler Address of We Hespons ——— 1 Mtl In another column of this is printed an account of the formation of the Keystone a corporation which contemplates the selling of farm products on a larger scale and the purchasing of materiale needed on the farm in lsrger quanti- ties. The main purpose is to save waste to the farmer—the producer— who under present conditions receives only a small share of the value of the products he grows and manufactures, TI'his co-operation scheme is not new, but has been well tried out on both large and emall scales in other states, and has proven an advantage to the community in which it thrived. The local dealer is indispensable now and always will be, and this cor- poration, however successful it may become in its operations, does not contemplate the annihilation of the local dealer. He has his place in the business ramifications of the country and will always retain it, This step is a step in the line of progress—a step io advance of present methods of doing business with and among farmer. This onward march may be retarded, but it cannot be stopped, The farmer is coming to his own ; he will become the master of his own affairs in the pear future, I'he success of the country depends on the success of the tiller of the soil, The strides in advance, therefore, need not be looked upon with any de- gree of hostility by those whose notion it is that the progressive movements will militate against their individual business interests, Help those en- gaged in agricultural pursuits, and you help yourself, no matter what your business or vocation, Free country schools, the organiza- tion ef farmers into Granges whose object is largely educational, the intro. duction of rural mail services, the telephone in the farm house, alike were looked upon with suspicion when in their formative and state of infancy. No less is the proposed par- cels post and co-operation in buying and selling farm products looked upon with suspicion, but like all other ad- vanced movements nothing can hin. der their coming, and when here we are better off educationally, floancials ly, morally. san (irange Exchange, For soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or injury, there ls nothing beiler than Chambers lain’s Liniment.
