THE AUGUS, -FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1904. 0 IS CHANCE TO WIN D mocrali to Work lo Klect I. W Mtbw8 CooRrew man. MUCH OPPOSITION TO MARSH Reported Through District Harmony at Bushnell Convention. Delegates in attendance at the Four teenth district democratic congrcssion al eon vent ion at Rushncll yesterday were of the opinion that, in view of the general dissatisfaction with the administration of Congressman H. K. Marsh, coupled with the drift of sen timent towards the desire for a change in the political complexion of the gov ernment, I here is a fighting chance for the democratic nominee in the Four teenth district this year. The district, as is known, is repub lican by what would appear to be a ma jority that it would be a hopeless tank to set out to overcome. Hut larger margins have been topped in political campaigns. An active canvass in each of the six counties might turn the ta bles in favor of David W. Matthews, of Milan, the candidate of the democrats. I'lnr T" f 'IM-n. Mr. Matthew:; is a farmer. He has a pretty home just on t.:e outskirts of the village of Milan. He is a political student and a citizen of the finest type, one believing it to be the duty of ev ery man who has attained the voting ape to perform his humble part in shaping the affairs of his country and state. Mr. Matthews. In his address of acceptance at the Rushnell convention yesterday, stated that the only word in opposition to bis candidacy that a friend told him that he had heard was that his father had been a republican. Mr. Matthews coiu'csped that that was a truth. He had b -en roared in a re publican atmosphere, but he was happy to be able to say that he had always remained steadfast to the principles o' democracy since he was allowed to take part at the ballot box. Will Mnkr l-tarni-nt Cnminli;n. Mr. Matthews said that lie apprecia ted fully the responsibility of jiccept ing the nomination of the de.noerat ic party for congress. He considered it a high honor to be conferred ujwm any man by that party. He wo"ld end -avor to make himself worthy of the confi dence reposed in- him. He . would labor unceasingly from now un til election day in the advancement of his candidacy and he would expect all the democrats of he district to unifj with him in mak'ng the besr showing possible at the polls for the entire democratic ticke'. He firmly believed there was a chance of winning, despite the unfav orable impression to be bail by reason of the large republican majority at Ike lection two years ago. Mr. Mali hews rtatcd that he heartily indorsed ever sentence of the St. !uis platform. He was opposed to trusts and com bines, imperialism, colonization, all of which were contrary to the constitu tion, and disapproved of the usurpa tion by the president of the legislative and judicial branches f the govern inent. He pledged bis support to the national, state and county tickets. K. M. (Jut brio, of Aledo. the nomi nee for lliei.i;iel!lip on the .-dale board of qnalization. is a prominent resi dent of Aledo. Mercer county. He has for visits been active in the affair of the union miners in that section, and will be a tower of strength to the ticket. T. t'nnt Nrrrrturr of Stair. The congressional committee was authorized to fill any vacancy that might occur in the ticket between now and election day. The committee also was empowered to take such action as it might deem expedient to secure at the hands of the secretary of state the proper recognition of the Bushnell nominees, as there might be some con fusion in t'ne mind of that officer in vTew of the nam.ng of candidates by the alleged democratic convention held at Moline by J. P. Looney. Judge J. H. Mickey, and others, who talked oii the question, did not anticipate that the nominations made at Moline would have any standing when the sccretary of state had been made familiar with the true situation in the Fourteenth district. The convention was one of the best attended held in the district in a num ber of years, indicating a healthy awakening among the democrats, all of whom expressed a determination to rid the party of all discordant elements. There was harmony at Bushnell yes terday. The men who were there were democrats. F. K. Compton. candidate on the Loonoy ticket for the equaliza tion board, and others whom the Rock Island pretender has been seeking to line up. were present and took part in the proceedings of the convention.

He visited the young lady and delivered the message of his brother that the latter was ready to welcome her to his new home- in Amer ica.

Address to Party Clvxbs by W. R.. Hearst Sum marizes! Ca.mpeJgn. Issxies cvnd Urges Vigorous Prosecution of Battle. W. R. Hearst, president of the Na tional Association of Democratic clubs, has issued the following address to the membership: As president of your association I remind you of the great opportunity which presents itself to all democrats in the coming election and urge upon you special activity and untiring en ergy from now until the closing of the polls. The people of the United States are preparing once more to express through the national vote the national. conscience and the national opinions on government of the people. I hope that every official and every individual member of every club in our associa tion will do all that he can and more than ever before to promote and ex pound the interests and the beliefs oi genuine Jeffersonian democracy. I call upon all members of the clubs to begin earnest campaign work im mediately, to reorganize where reor ganization is necessary, and especially to respond promptly and energetically to every suggestion that may come from the national management of the democratic party. I'nrd Influtarr. I have offered my services and those of my newspapers to the managers of the democracy, and in so far as I have felt justified as your president in so doing I have offered the much greatei influence of the National Association of Democratic clubs, pledging the hon est co-operation of all the members to further effort on the lines of that genu ine democracy in which a majority of the American people believe. There are special reasons why the democrats of the United States should assert themselves and work energetic ally in this campaign. First and fore most there is the permanent duty be fore us all we must restore the gov ernment of this country to the hands of the people, for whom and by whom the government was created. As democrats we are interested es pecially this year in repudiating and disproving by earnest, sincere work the charges made against ns. The president of the I'nited States, in his formal letter of acceptance, calls all democrats hypocrites and time-servers. He says that they are compelled to im provise their convictions, and that it is no wonder that they forget their con victions over night. He declared in bis speech to the committee that notified him of hi? nomination that the democratic partj believed in nothing in-particular, and that such beliefs as it had were simply based on desire for office and could be changed to suit the shifting times. !. v to Itrflllr It. It is the duty of the members of the National Association of Democratic clubs and of all democrats to unite in proving that democrats have princi ples, and permanent principles. We should unite to preach our democratic beliefs from now until election day and to vote for those principles on that day. The republican party which now calls democrats men without principle or honor, praised in its first national platform two men in our history, coup ling them together Washington and .leffcrson an. I declared in iavor of "re- QUALITY FOR QUALITY PRICE FOR PRICE STYLE FOP STYLE Assortment Against Assortment, Our Cloak and Millinery partment will out do any other in the west.

The democracy must prove that, unlike the republican party, it still adheres today, as in the past, to the principles of Jefferson; that it means to perpetuate the kind of government which Washington's cour age and statesmanship created, which Jefferson's genius molded and carried on. The republicans, who. since the is suing of their first platform above quoted, have changed from praise of Jefferson to service of the trusts, must be made lo realize in this campaign and on the coming election day that the democratic party still has its Jef fersonian principles, that it has the vi tality to fight for them, and to win. Majority Are PriiKxratii. The people of the I'nited States are democrats at heart, a vast majority of them. They do not put money above men, they do not believe that a gov ernment which was established by all the people should be taken out of their hands and turned over to a selfish few to be exploited for their own profit Every member of our National Assoc! ation of Democratic clubs will render great service to his party and, what is far more important, a great service to the nation, by expounding and advo cating earnestly from now until elec tion day the principles and the beliefs which constitute the force of the demo cratic party. Unlike the type of re publican represented by the trust own ers and apologists the democrats real ly believe in the teachings of Jefferson. They really believe what they say when they advocate fundamental dem ocratic beliefs. Democrats believe in these specific principles strongly emulated in the democratic platform at St. Louis this year. If President Roosevelt will read that platform he will see that he is mistaken in thinking that the party which opposes him is "apologetic, fee ble in conviction, willing to sacrifice principle to place." The democratic party stands for the freedom of the press, of conscience nnd of speech, as it has always stood. It opposes the attacks on freedom of .he press that have disgraced Colorado. It opposes the injunction against free speech issued by republican judges on the order of corporations. llrnprctM V ! Highta. The democratic party has a great re spect for vested rights it also has a great hatred of vested wrongs, no mat ter how long or respectable their ante cedents. Democrats believe in the statement of their platform that "the rights of labor are certainly no less 'vested,' no less 'sacred' and no less 'inalienable' than the rights of capital. Democrats denounce the exportation without process of law of working men and women from the state of Colorado or from any other part of American soil. The democracy detests all kinds of anarchy, nnd especially that which puts the executive of a state, backed by the militia, above the laws and above the courts. Democrats believe in handling the people's money as carefully as an indi vidual would handle his own. spending any amount usefully in the real in terests of the people to whom the money belongs, not one dollar ex travagantly for the subsidising of railroads, for instance, or the payment of extortionate prices to brazen agents or organized plunderers, such as the representatives of the armor plate trust. The democracy believes in putting the thieves out of the postoffice and all other branches of public service, from the United States senate all the way down. The democrats believe that public property is public property, and that not even the occupant of the white house should turn men-of-war into private yachts or make the officers or sailors of the navy the domestic servants of the president's household. The democratic party believes in ex pansion it is the party of expansion, as Jefferson was America's greatest expansionist. But it is opposed to imperialism. It believes that those that come under the American flag should be treated as Americans. tia: they should be made to share all the privileges of Americans, and not treat ed as conquered subjects, to be ruled by the personal favorites of a personal president. (nntm Pint form. The democratic platform says: "We denounce protection as a robbery of the many to enrich the few." and the democrats mean exactly what the plat form says. They know that through protection the trusts rob the public, workingmen and business men alike. And democrats, if elected, will find a way to pull away from the trusts their protecting cloak the tariff. The dem ocratic party believes in spendinu the national money to increase the wealth of the nation and of the individual, i;. the building of the isthmian canal, which will bring closer together the east and the west, put a check on te extortion of railways and multiply by two the defensive power of our nav The democracy believes in nationai improvement by the reclamation of arid lands, supplying homes to millions of citizens in the future and an increas OOOOOOOOO0OOOOOO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 0 . . 0 About twenty-' 7!!!!""""''

Because it opposes corruption and t'ij substitution of cash for the will ot the people the democratic party favors the election of United States senators by the direct vote of thi- people. The democracy favors the admission of the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, of Arizona and New Mexico, to the full power of stat: hood. It be lieves that these ciiTi-munities, equal in character and intelligence to any others in the United States, should have tV same rights and privileges as any other American community. l'rotrct tir Home. Tie democratic party demands tb extermination of polygamy, the en forcement of the laws that protect t'te American hmv today and the American rare in ?h- future. The dem ocrats believe in a great navy, to h" used solely for protection against ag gressors. They oppose a great stand ins army which can be used against the people themselves. These, with a heartily pledzed support of the Monroe doctrine, a demand that the service of the old soldiers be fairly and generous ly recognized, and a vigorous protest against the attempt of President Roose velt to stir up race hatred as an en gine of political advancement, con stltute the main features of the latest democratic platform, worded to inee; the especial conditions and emergen cies of the day. Rack of this platform and above M stand the eternal principles of ecual rights and of just government that are the foundation of democracy. These principles move and inspire t'ne true democracy of this country. They are princip'eg that cannot be sm proved or destroyed, for they are a part of justice itself and a part of the certain future. Democrats believe in the just distri bution of tin- cost of government. For that reason they demand an income tax that shall put the burden upon those best able to bear it. Democrats believe Dial the people should control the national and muni cipal monopolies. They believe the people alone should own and control the public necessities in order to re main free.. Therefore they advocate national ownership of the railroads, the telegraph, the municipal ownership of the city streets, street railroads, and of city necessities gas and electric light, as well as the water. IVo;l- shouM t'ootrol rrr!t !-. Democrats believe with Jefferson in American independence, equality ami opportunity for all. special privilege:; for nonn. They realize that there can not be national independence while a few men control national necessities. That power which controls life's neces sities controls the people and the democrats are determined that there shall not grow up within this govern ment a power Kreater than the people. The members of the National As sociation of Democratic clubs should emphasize in their discussion these fundamental principles - principles that are permanent because they are based on truth and that are destined to rule in the administration of this country. And while exiKunding the principles of the democracy the democrats should not fail to call attention to the dif ference between Thomas Jefferson's preaching of equal rights and the re publican party's practicing of special privileges. It is a far cry from Jeff- i son's equal rights ideas which the re publicans indorsed in their first nation al convention of tiie llanna idea of special privileges which republicans have- ended in accepting. We democrats hold now, as we did one hundred years ago. to the doc trine of equal rights for all and special privileges for none; while Mr. Roo- volt's party and Mr. Roosevelt, with every appointment in his il'i bestowed upon some trust puppet, hold.i to the doctrine of special favors for tho; who can and will pay.
