"PAY THE DEBT IN
CASH,IKS MEEK
Democratic Editor Recommends
That Wilson Thus Wipe Out
His Indebtedness to Palmer
P. Gray Meek, for many years sec
retary of the Democratic State Com
mittee, and one of the best known
newspapermen In Pennsylvania, is re
ceiving many letters of felicitation on
an editorial in his newspaper, the
Democratic Watchman.
Thta fulsilnation against the leader
ship of A. Mitchell Palmer seems to
have accentuated the factional differ
ences in the State Democracy.
"Pay the Bill in Cash" is the head
line of ths editorial which is supposed
to voice the feelings of the "Old
Guard" against the leader of the "re
organizem."
This it what Editor Meek, who was
Surveyo* of the Port of Philadelphia
daring Cleveland's second term wrote:
"Something ought to be done by
the Dsmocrats of Pennsylvania to
* dischaige the obligations of President
Wilsor to A. Mitchell Palmer. The
t'requait references to them In the
public prints is scandalous. The pay
ment of personal debts with public
patratege is abhorrent to political
morals and yet whenever a vacancy
occirs in tho public service Mr.
Painer sets up an unsatisfied claim.
F<r example, the other day, according
to Washington dispatches, the Presi
d/nt indicated a purpose to appoint
l>r Comptroller of the Currency, a
recommended by the Sec
retary of the Treasury. •
"It seems that Mr. Palmer had a
Candidate for the office as usual, and
.upon the announcement that the
President had determined to follow
the advice of the gentleman respons
ible for the administration of the of
fice, Mr. Palmer's friends set up the
howl that the oblfgations to him
were being repudiated.
"This sounds bad in the public ear
and looks worse in the public eye.
That public office is a public trust is
nn unwritten law in the Democratic
party. Therefore the use of public
patronage to pay the personal or po
litical debts of the President to Mr.
Palmer or anyone else is an infrac
tion of moral and political ethics.
Rut in the case In question Republi
can papers in Philadelphia and else
where in Pennsylvania, obviously in
spired. declared that an injustice had
been done to Mr. Palmer.
"But for him. these newspapers de
clared. Mr. Wilson would not have
been nominated and in that event
would have had no patronage to dis
pose of. 'Why,' they add, substan
tially, "during the balloting in the Bal
timore convention, when a majority
• it" the delegates had voted for Champ
Clark. Wilson telegraphed to his party
manager. Mr. McCombs, asking that
his name be withdrawn. But when
Mr. Palmer saw the telegram he tore
it up and on one of the subsequent
ballots Mr. Wilson was nominated.
"The friends of Mr. Bryan boldly
claim that the nomination of Mr.
Wilson was the result of the Nebras
kan's masterly management of the
convention and they are justified in
some measure because when Champ
i'lark's vote reached the proportions
of a majority Mr. Bryan, though in
structed for Sir. Clark, deserted him
and started the tide in favor of Wil
son. The friends of Mr. McCouibs in
sist that Mr. Wilson's nomination was
the fruit of his splendid management
of the primary campaign and Mr.
Wilson has given encouragement to
this claim by calling Mr. McCombs to
the management of the final contest
and praising his ability and fidelity
at every opportunity.
"Other claims have been set up.
more or less well supported anrl all
the several claimants have received
some consideration. But we don't
know of anyone who has been as
glutinous in his demands for recom
pense or as unwise in the distribution
of the favors which have been be
stowed upon him as Mr. Palmer.
"For the sake of argument, how
ever, we will admit that President
Wilson is under some obligation to I
Mr. Palmer. Pennsylvania gave him
no electoral votes, it is true, and If
the party in other States had slumped
ss it did in this State, the nomination
would have been of little benefit to
Mr. Wilson. But 'the laborer is
worthy of his hire" and whether Mr.
Palmer appeared in the campaign as
lawyer, lobbyist or simply camp-fol
lower, he is entitled to his fee.
"But the fee should be paid in cash.
<inly petty-foggers engage in litiga
tion on the basis of contingencies,
and Mr. Palmer doesn't want to be
put in that class. For that reason he
ought to be paid a round sum and
the Democrats of Pennsylvania should
pass around the hat and collect the
amount needed to discharge the debt.
Thia constant repetition of an unset
tled claim is unfair to the President,
humiliating to the party and demoral
izing to the country."
