THE SILENT PARTNERS IN A
ONE-MAN PARTY v
pCIlSONAIi government soon gnvo wny
to majority government In tho early
days, luckily for this nepubllc It was
tho Democratic party which caused this
swerve f rom oligarchy to demoorney, that
party Svhlch Mr. Wilson never tiros ot
desorlblng as tho one party which has
survived, which Is the only party he be
lieves will survive, Its) contemporaries.
Tho reason given for this permanenco Is
this very refusal to bo subservient to
one man or to a small group of men.
Then why has It suddenly abandoned its
one groat permanent principle, If It Is
to bo bo permanont? Why has it sud
denly decided to stako all Its futuro
on tho personal fortunes of ono man If
L it is not to contlnuo to bo a one man
party?
When the Democratic party captured
the Houro in tho 1910 elections and
elected a number of Democratic Gover
nors, Mr, Wilson had no volco In tho
councils of the national party. Ho was
meroly ono of tho successful guberna
torial candidates, all of whom Immedi
ately wantod to bo promoted to tho presi
dency. Mr. Clark became Speaker of tho
IIouso, and tho House was reorganized
on Demooratlo principles tho Speaker
was to have no power, was to bo a moro
figurehead. Commlttco appointments wore
to be mndo by commltteo nnd tho party
caucus was to dotormlne tho courso of
legislation. Thcro waa a free-for-all scrim
mage for the presidential nomination, as
was Democratically proper among men
commlttod to equality. Burely tho Presi
dent was to be as much of a figurehead
as could bo possible among theso freemen
who knew not what tho word "master"
meant Clark, Wilson, Harmon, Under
wood, Marshall, Baldwin, Foss, Bryan,
Sulzer, Kern, Gaynor, Lewis and James
all received votes in the convention at
Baltimore. Wilson won.
These mon. It was to be supposed, wero
destined to share wth Mr. Wilson tho
conduct of affairs. But as the political
and diplomatic, weather clouded over, all
vanished from tho sceno. Even Bryan
lost 'his mastery, got delusions, mistook
a flock of Insipid pcaco doves for tho
dogs of war and fled. Marshall, forget
ting that ho had been a favorlto son
candidate for tho presidency, gavo that
last unheard of devotion to his chief by
announcing that if the mantle fell upon
his shoulders ho would resign. Clark
grumbled something to tho effect that If
Wilson didn't want tho nomination this
year it would bo of no use to 'any other
Democrat. Sulzer was Impeached, Gay
nor died. Foss Isn't sure whother he is
n Republican, a Democrat or a Prohibi
tionist. Not only aro tho representatives of tho
various sections and classes In the Dem
ooratlo party to continue to bo volun
tarily subjeot to tho President's will he
is even to name his successor In the event
that he is incapacitated. Mr. Marshall
would rather havo Mr. Wilson's Secre
tary of Stato be first in line of succes
sion. In vain has Mr. Wilson said,
"There haa boen no Wilson policy. I
did not load theso gontlemen, I merely
went forward with them." Who are
"these gentlemen"? Has Mr. Kltchln
really led tho IIouso? Did Mr. Hay really
handle military affairs? Is Senator Stone
really tho genius of the Administration's
foreign polloy? Not If they can help It
will they bo ao described. It's sink or
swim with Wilson; tho angel that will
save them or the goat to take tho blame.
This nation had evolvod a Chief Mag
istrate responsible to tho whole people,
and particularly to the majority made
vocal through Its leaders. A minority
carno Into power, but seemed for a time
likely to draw to it the third party Is
it any wonder that the third party has
ref uaed to join this band o( speechless and
subjugated mon, who have had neither
the ability to aid tlieir President in con
structive work nor the character to save
him from his errors? The Progressives
return to the party in which there are
men who are, not afraid to speak lest
they betray ignorance, who do not lose
interest in great affairs when they find
they have neither the chanco nor the
ability to be President-

A DEMOCRAT FOR HUGHES
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger
Sir Tho following Is a clipping from your
llvoly editorial page, published Saturday:
President Wlllard, of tho Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, Is for Hughes be
cause he Is a Republican. lie thinks
that Is sufficient reason for opposing
the re-election of Wilson, and It Is.
The writer does not think your conten
tion Is a sound one when you say that Pres
ident Wlllard, of the Baltimore and Ohio,
Is for Hughes because he (Mr. Wlllard) Is
a Republican. I am a Democrat, but I am
going to vote for Hughes because, in' my
Judgment, he Is better fitted for the job In
this crisis than Wilson Is, who has fallen
down on tho Moxlcan situation, and his
acrois-the-sea polloy. The only political
"fly In the ointment" Is that I must Include
Fairbanks In my vote for Hughes. After
Mr. Hughes Is elected the country woutd do
well to pray for his good health for four
years. Hide-bound partisanship, Mr. Ed
itor, Is one of the evils that aflttct this
country seriously. All the signs of the
times, however, show that men and meas
ures, and not party ties, are the only proper
guides for proper voting.

GENERAL CROWDER'S DECISION
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger
Sir -A Washington dispatch In today's
Dvbnino Lbdokii says that President Wil
son la much Incensed over tho ruling ot
Cieneral Crgwder, judge advooata general
of the army, that the United States Is le
gally In a state of war with Mezoo. The
dispatch adds that the general's ruling .was
suppressed for days, because "It weakens
the plea that he (the President) kept us
out of war,"
"The resentment of the Administration
over this decision Is," says the dispatch,
"due particularly to the faot that it haa
reached the public." That's It exactly. Mr.
Wilson does not want the publlo told by the
highest logal authority on military matters
In the United States that we are at war
when he virtually admits that his only
claim to re-election Is that we are at peace
I presume that Cieneral Crowder's "re
tirement" Is now In order. He tells the
truth, and the truth Is precisely what the
Democrats do not want at least until after
election, ju CITIZBN.
Overbrook, October 21,
SECRETARY DAKER DEFENDED
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger
Sir Judging from headlines In news
papers which are not usually addicted to
the crime of, propagating the remarks of
Democratic orators. It would seem as If
Secretary of War Baker had committed a
horrible heresy when he said at Jersey City
that the "Continentals stole the vessels out
of churches and sold them to buy food and
drink. They drove the prlesta and ministers
out of churches afttf sometimes out of the
country. Theirmoney Was worthless, as
tho Mexican money la today, and they were
In general Just as bad characters as the
Mexicans."
I can't understand why anybody is get
ting excited over this. It's history not
grammar school history, but history that
Is no dark, deep secret. Documents at the
Congressional Library at Washington re
veal scandals worse than anything Mr.
Baker revealed) apd while these scandals
arc, not publlo property',, they are known
te statesmen, polltlelana and newspaper eer
respondents who make a habit ef using the
library,
Xever has It been a secret that the CentU
neertela were often on tUt yerge of mutiny
beeuuee they were net being paid, and that
It was entirely due te the iea4efehlp of
George Washington that (be Bevelutloaary
treoiw were held together at Talley Korge.
The Revolutionary heroes were no paragons
of virtue ; they were bum end often U
oetoregedK The faot was long ago eetab
Uifred ami rMftgnlMd that the ettenaii ef the
Ajberioea Revolution was due to the dog
senses of our leaders I assume that the
Kasmbuoaae will be pointing before eJeoUOn
day to etefMdiet Arnold M ft mlei Oseti-
playing upon the patriotic Impulses of new
comers to this country Is enough to Indict
that party of n lack of faith. Descendants
of Continentals know full well how trying
and how discouraging were conditions lithe
days of the Revolutionary War. They will
not be troubled by any such "revelation" as
Mi. Baker has made, but the Immigrant,
loyal, to the American flag, may, I admit,
misconstrue what was said because of a
manipulation of tho speech. And a political
party that seeks to misconstrue American
hlrtory and American Ideals has no business
directing American affairs.

New Stock and Band Issues
N.K.H. Whenever a reorganisation pf a
property, say a railroad, Is undertaken and
some basis Is reached by the financiers back
ing the project, the information comes out
as tq what will be done with the present
financial obligations ot the oompany, stocks
and bonds, and as to how they will be
taken care of under the reorganisation. In
caaea like this the street, as the financial
district Is known, figures out what tbe
new Issues should sell for and trading
starts In them. This Is more often the
case on the New York curb than on the
New York tHeek Itaohange, On the former
there Is mere leniency as regards trading

So far as the Hague convention for the
protection of neutrals Is concerned Greece
cpneerns us more nearly than Belgium,
though tho Internal affairs of Greece have
given the Allies some excuse for the course
taken. Hprlngflejd Ilepubllcan.
The Democratic party Is trying to extort
an unahamed confession thawhe Ameri
can people are yellow, to glvethls impres
sion to Kuropean nations that aro not yel.
low, to Canada, which Is not yellow and to
other nations on this continents Chicago
Tribune,
Charles E. Hughes revealed himself to
Grand ltapldg as an earnest, independent,
practical person who might safey be trusted
with high ofllce. From first to last his
speech was logical, strong and well bal
anced, his bearing frank, dignified and Im
pressive. Q rand 'Itaplds Fress.
With every Important nation of tho world
preparing for the Industrial confllot as com
pletely as for the military conlttot, the
United States does nothing. With the
Domocratlo tariff in effect It can do nothing.
Lulled to sloep by words, and words, and
words, to quote Govornor Whitman, we
enjoy our pleasant dream and postpone the
awakening. Chicago Tribune.
The difference between the vote the Re
publicans can poll for Mr, Hughes now and
the vote they could poll If they organized
their forces is the difference between defeat
and victory. The organized Democracy can
defeat the unorganized Itonublloan forces,
but the organized Ilepubllcan forces could
overwhelmingly defeat the organized Dem
ocracy. This Is the situation In Colorado
today, The reason for It Is that the. Re
publican party Is asleep, It haa been asleep
ever since tho campaign started. Colorado
