Committees of the democratic
party are hereby directed to
carry the provisions of this call
into effect. By order of the
state central committee.

Secretary Chairman.
While there is very little going
on in congress just now that can
be considered worthy of a big
news feature, the democrats are
going right along and following
out their program as mapped out
by the first caucus. Every time
they submit a bill reducing the
tariff, they put one over on the
republicans because whether the
republican senate kills the bill or
the republican president vetos it,
it all amounts to the same thing
so far as the people are concern
ed, and the people will recognize
the fact at the polls next Novem
ber.
The republicans are worse split

today than the democrats ever
were and there'is no doubt in the
mind of any who have been
watching the political game for
many years, that a democrat is
going to be elected president
next November.
Senator Dixon of Montana,
who is the chief of the Roosevelt
forces, and Representative Mc-
Kinley of Illinois, who is the
representative of the Taft forces,
are at each other's throats every
day and calling each other liars,
or words to that effect. The
papers are filled with their letters
to one another and all these let
ters contain is crimination and
re-crimination as far as the cam
paign is concerned in the republi
can ranks.
The Roosevelt people are howl
ing for preferential primaries in
all the states regardless of the
fact that many states have no
primary laws, and that congress
has nothing to do with it, and
each state is a law unto itself
concerning primaries or conven
tions. The Roosevelt people for
get that in the campaign for the
nomination in 1908, when Roose
velt was attempting to nominate
Taft, that he played the same
game that Taft is now playing
and which his followers are howl
ing about. If they had held pri
maries, then the chances are
that some other republican would
have been nominated at Chicago
instead of Mr. Taft, but Roose
velt used every bit of his presi
dential patronage to compel the
nomination of Taft and the Taft
people now say that what is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the
gander.
The chances are that Senator
LaFollette is going to get out on
the firing line and rip Roosevelt
up the back for stealing h\>, thun
der and coming out and proclaim
ing himself as the only original
progressive republican in the
United States. It looks very
much as though the LaFollette
republicans and following will
bolt the nomination of Taft and
present a third party ticket with
LaFollette at the head of it. If
such is the case, LaFollette will
get two-thirds of the progressive
republican vote, and this will
elect a democrat. So, "whether
Roderigo kill Cassio or Cassio kill
Roderigo, it all makes for our
good."
So far as the democratic can
didates for president are concern
ed, they are getting along to
gether like the real men they
are—not placing their own de
sires above the public good, but
all working to secure a genu
ine democracy for this nation.
Wilson, Clark, Harmon, Under
wood—all have records of demo
cratic achievement which look
good to the people because the
people benefited thereby. The
corporate interests of Wall street
have not opened their heada in
favor of any one of these four
men, because all of the four are
against private monoply of the
public's government.
Wall street is somewhat divid
ed between Taft and Roosevelt,
with Taft the favorite. They
can't really go back on Taft, for
he has been with them so long
that he knows all their secrets;
and in turn Taft can't go back
on them because they still have
him by the throat. And while
Taft and Roosevelt are fighting
as to who shall be the Wall street
mouthpiece, the people are look
ing up the records of the demo
cratic candidates and choosing
whom they will support for the
nomination.
"The call of the people," pro
claim the eight progressive gov
ernors and other delegates at
Chicago, must be heeded by Mr.
Roosevelt. ' 'We believe the peo
ple have decided to make him
their choice." Spontaneous ab
solutely is this people's call. Yet
the report of the conference in
congruously says that "on roll
call the delegates from the differ
ent states told of work already
done toward promoting the form
er president's candidacy. Several
reported complete organiza
tions." There is spontaneity for
you.
The people call him! What
people? All the people? Leave
out the democrats, the socialists,
the prohibitionists and the odds
and ends who cast altogether
over 7,000,000 votes in 1908.
They are not calling for Mr.
Roosevelt, and they must be con
ceded by every competent statis
tician to be today at least half of
the voters. Leave out, also, that
considerable faction of the re
publican party that desires the
renomination of President Taft.
Eliminate all of Mr. LaFollette's
admirers. The remainder, that is
to say, what is left after all the
Taft men, all the LaFollette men,
all the socialists and prohibition
ists and, by no means least in
numbers, all the democrats of
the United States, are removed
from consideration,—the remain
der constitutes "the people, "and
"the people" call him.
If Mr. Roosevelt recognizes in
such a summons to service "the
call of the people," he will de
monstrate that he has the finest
ear of any politician since Noah.
Frank B. Lord, the noted poli
tical writer, says: "Throughout
his entire career in high office,
Theodore Roosevelt with one
hand played to a certain coterie
of interests in Wall Street, while
with the other he beckoned to
the mob, and he won the plaud
its of both. He served the
moneyed interests while he
entertained the multitude. This
is why Wall Street wants him
renominated." In fact, Wall
street would just as soon see
Roosevelt elected as Taft.
While President Fat and ex-
President Teeth are sputtering
over the large adjectives which
they are hurling at each other,
one or the other is liable to be
called by his right name.
