DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES
Again the purchaseable Demo
cracy of Pennsylvania, following
its immemorial custom, has sold
oat to the Republican Bosses,
, and its stalking-horse candidate
for Governor, C. L. Munson,hav
ing accomplished his dishonor
able purpose of furthering tbe
Boss schemes, takes himself off
the ticket. These shameful Hes
sian bargainings have kept that
wretched commonwealth a prey
for endless despoiling to as cor
rupt a gang of political thieves
cursed a State—Quay
as ever
Penrose et al.
Even the stalwart Record cries
shame, and defies Munson to an
swer its riddling dissection of
his quibbling reasons for his
withdrawal. Again, Fred G.
Kirkendall, editor of another
leading Democratic journal, the
Times-Leader of Wilkes Barre, in
its issue of June 21st, speaks edi
torially in this pungent fashion
about this disgraceful, but quite
characteristic, episode:
"Tha Time* Leader will not go along
lor a State ticket labeled Democratic, bat
mmA by the rotten Republican gang
end the wbieky interests. Any news
paper in tbe State of Penneylvenia or the
nation at large, let ite politic* be what it
may, that woold stomach euch treachery
and crooked dealinge and hold ite nose
while it ewallowed tbe dirty mew that
' waa concocted by tbe traitors at Allen
town, and then for 'party's sake' yell it
self hoarse and about 'the splendid ticket,'
knowinglvjleceive its readers, is not
I these enlightened days to belong to
tbe newspaper family.
"The time baa pawed for the Tim««
Leader at least to countenance euch
treachery. It ie to be regretted that the
gtata convention did not make nomiua
tiona that would bave helped the Demo
cratic candidates in Luzerne to over
throw the Republican gang in this county,
bnt when the leaders of Democracy in the
State aell themselves, body and soul, to
tbe same gang, tbe blame for the injuries
belongs to the disreputable traders and
not tbe fearless newspaper whose duty it
is to tell the truth."
The same infamous tactics were
employed in the Illinois Legisla
ture wherein Representative
Browne, the Democratic leader
in that State, playing the low
role of pimp-master for the Re
E ublican boodler Lorimer, bribed
is own Democratic associates,
White and ethers—all of whom
have since confessed—to desert
their own candidate for United
States Senator, and elect this
lat-jowled, fatter-pursed million
aire politician emulous of fellow
ship in the Senate with tbe hon
orable Guggenheim, Stephenson,
Olliver and the other rich own
ers of purchased togas.
Again, in the framing of the
present tariff, Bailey, McEnery
and other Democratic leaders in
both Senate and House, openly
trafficked and traded with Aldrich
and Cannon for "protection"
plnms,forssking without a blush,
party principles for which they
bad vociferously contended for a
half century!
Bnt unlike those candid and
honorable Democratic papers
above quoted, that thick and thin
champion of Democracy—of the
real old Bourbon brand that
forgets, never learns—the Every
Evening sees nothing amiss in it
all! The Lorimer bribery tales
with all their "confirmations
strong as proofs of holy writ,"
were nothing but "weak inven
tions of the enemy." The Penn
sylvania "deal," is regular and
proper—no grounds whatever for
criticism there. It's editor has
no qneachy stomach; these tri
fling eccentricities of its party
leaders in Congress and out that
ever squint boodle ward, should
be promptly covered over with
eulogistic whitewash; and so in
Munson's behalf it lays it on
"thick and slab. " In its issue of
June 20th, the Every Evening de
claring "there was no deal"
says:
"Tboae who have a personal knowledge
of Hod.C. LeRue Munson of Williamsport,
wboae sudden determination not to be
a candidate lor the Democratic nomina
tion lor governor of Pennsylvania caused
some excitement at tbe recent Demo
cratic Bute Convention, repudiate with
indignation all intimations that Mr. Muu
aon was actuated by UDworthy or improper
motives. Especially do they ecoul the
imputation that hie course was the reeult
of a bargain with Senator Penrose and
that ita consideration wae the promise of
t Federal judgeship at the bande of Presi
dent Taft.
"Mr. Munson is one of tbe ablest law
yers in Pennsylvania and a man of high
personal character. Politically be is a
Democrat of tbe Cleveland type. In a
public statement he says that business
reasons and the condition of bis health
as revealed to him by a physician only
a few boors before the assembling of the
convention incited him to harried setiou
by the immediate production end for
warding of tbe letter of withdrawal which
created such a commotion in the conven
tion."
and
fit in
never
"The condition of Mr.Munson's
health as revealed to him by a
physician a few hours before the
convention," etc!
That's fine dnff pudding to feed
the mariners with to be sure!
Viewing its nerve herein, it is
small wonder the Every Evening
has the audacity to deny the in
numerable and almost unbe
lievable rascalities of the olden
days in Delaware when its party
rule inade tbe exercise of a Re
publican freeman's franchise
about as rare and as difficult as
in Russia.
Bnt then we mast be charitable
if a k>ng abstinence from the
erstwhile fat pickings at the
party crih, shall have quickened
its appetite mure than its moral
sense, which elsewhere in* ail
journalism, Republican and -Dem
ocratte, has grown

TWO CYCLONES IN NEW YORK City
Wise weather sharp! The Hon.
Willis Moore, head of the Weather
Bureau, knew that nothing could
give an adequate greeting for our
one and only Teddy but a cyclone
and it was provided accordingly.
Well, in giving the country, just
at. the psychological time and
place, something so like the Na
tion's idol himself, the weather
man has scored one by way of re
coupment for his famous March
4th, 1909, fizzle. And the quiet,
unheralded manner in which he
"pulled off" this particular con
vulsion of nature, so markedly in
contrast with his pompous fluke of
a year or more ago, only adds to
the gl.-ry of the achievement. We
scorn the suggestion that the Ad
ministration, actuated by motives
of petty jealousy, ordered the at
mospheric row on purpose to
spoil Teddy's big parade. Perish
the thought! The Falstuffian oc
cupant of the White House, is
gladdest of all to see the Boss
back again—maybe.
But come to think of it, there
wer 9 two cyclones in New York
City last Saturday. The Ameri
People furnished the other
one—a veritable cyclone of wel
come—a tempest of applause—a
whirlwind of greeting, in honor
of the one man willing, they be
lieve, to be again as in the past,
their bold * mouth-piece, their
dauntless champion against the
innumerable, the intolerable tyr
ranie^of the Predatory Trusts the
later and greater American Her
cules, armed like his monster-de
stroying prototype, with the in
vincible Big Stick.
