_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,

There possibility that the
election of a president will be thrown
into the House of Representatives,
It will require 266 electoral votes to

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,

Address of We

——— 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.

are better off educationally, floancials
