When a man anions us is always criticizing his neighbors, it is
only a matter of time when he is likely to be called upon to explain
wherein he could do better, and nothing lowers such a man in public
esteem so effectually as. to fall down in his explanation. Such is the
position of the once grand old republican party at present. It has
"chewed the rag" right along ever since it learned to know Wood
row Wilson. The president has had a difficult task to steer the ship
of state safely, with breakers on every side. Now, the time ap
proaches when the people must choose a commander for another four I
years. Will they change commanders just to piease a mere wnim. or
will they trust the one who has guided them safely so far, or will they
trust themselves to the guidance of a new captain,"who says he can
teer a better course, but doesn't tell us how he is going to do itt
Bridgeport ITerald.
In his letter to the Progressive National Committee, largely de
voted to a 4iscussion of the support given by the German-American
Alliance to Mr. Hughes and the reasons for his own defeat, Colonel
Roosevelt included the following characteristic statement:
It is folly to pay heed to any of the promises in the plat-
form on which he (President Wilson) now stands, in view of
the fact that almost every important promise on which he .
stood four years ago has since been broken.
It is a maxim of the courts that when a witness is false in. one
statement ho may be regarded as false in all.
The Democratic party, in it platfor mof 1912, promised tariff re
form, and tariff reform is now a fact. It promised additional and
more constructive laws for the regulation of corporations and the
Clayton anti-trust law is the result.
The platform commented Upon the passage by Congress of an
amendment to the Constitution to permit the enactment of an income
tax law and another amendment providing for the direct election of
Senators the resolutions for the two amendments having been put
through by the Democratic party and both laws are now written up
on the statute books.
There was a plank for banking and currency reform and the
promise has had its fulfillment in the best banking system ever given
to the people of the United States and is generally approved by the
financial world.
A rural credits system was promised to the farmers of the coun
try who had been promised such reform by the Republican party for
twenty years without fulfillment. As a result of the ascendency of
the Democratic party to power, as a result of President Wilson's lead
ership, both branches of Congress have now passed a rural credits
measure which eventually will enable tenant farmers to own their own
land without encumbrance. The Democratic measure was passed al
most unanimously in both branches, the Republicans being obliged to
give it their approval. s
Another of the important planks in the Democratic platform was
one advocating agricultural co-operation with the states. Such co-
' operation, with a new and modern marketing system, federal aid in
road building ami oilier aids to the farmer ,is now a reality.
Justice to labor and the conservation of the rights of labor were
promised in the platform of 1912 and Samuel Gompets, president of
the American I'cderation of Labor, has said that more was done for
the laboring people under the leadership of President Wilson and un
der the Democratic party than under any previous administration. !
Conservation of the natural resources of the country was prom
ised and there has. been progressive eoiJervation, accompanied by
sane development. No administration has ever had a more efficient
operation of the Interior Department.
The spirit of the platform bs well as its letter have been upheld.
The Democratic party has gone even further. Giving the answer to
lus own characteristic statement, with his well known agility. Colonel
Roosevelt in the same letter to the Progressive National Convention,
says :
The Progressive movement has been given an inealeular
ble impetus by what the Progressive party has done. Our
strongest party antagonists have accepted and enacted into
law, or embodied in their party platforms, VERY MANY OF
OUR MOST IMPORTANT PR1NCIPLKS. Much has been
accomplished in awakening the public to a better under
standing of the problems of social and industrial welfare.
No party m the history of the nation has ever written upon the
statute books a greater body of progressive and constructive laws.
Labor has given its approval of the lw written by the Democratic
party to conserve the interests of labor. No greater advance has ev
er been made in the interest of the farmer since the republic was
founded, and the .farmers themselves, more prosprous and more en
lightened than ever before, have given their endorsement to what has
been done in their behalf."
Real reforms have been accomplished in the interest of all the
people. There has never been a time when the reserves of the nation
al banks of the coUntcy, representing the prosperity of the people,
have been larger. .
What has been done by President Wilson for the greater liberty,
freedom and prosperity of the American people constitutes the finest
record of any American statesman
In times like these, when the whole world has been rent by war,
when the United States itself has been imperiled, President Wilson,
compelled as he has been to
the critical problems involving the peace and honor of the nation,
nught well have been excused if he liad not bem able to complete his
record of internal reforms. But. he has been as successful in his do
mestic accomplishments as he has" been in his handling of foreign af-
uo -uu t uuuiuuig me uwiiur aim uigTHjy ox me nation.
So complete has been the president's huccrm in tmndt;
tic problems that no domestic issue' has bfcen raiaea mrninut htm Tn
tho absence of domestic issues, his opponents have tried, to find an is
iue in the still delicate situation involving the peace and honor of the
nation which the president, with a statesmanship in harmony with the
writ vrauiuoiia vi me unuea oiaies, nas Deen upholding.
Forcing the respect of the world and comnelli
of American rights, wtice compelled to raise.the mailed fist, the pres
ident has left no doubt that America, more powerful but with the
same spirit that prevailed in 76, stands ready to defend with lives
;ana treasure us new-iouna freedom and its old-time honor.
ine i prcsiaeni ana the Democratic party enter the present cam-
paign, challenging comparison of its promises and performances with
the promise and performances of the Republican party in the daj's
when it was the dominant party.
It challenges comparison of the military, naval, industrial, econ
omic and spiritual preparations of the past three years with the weak
structures that were left to President Wilson as a heritage from his
immediate predecessors. It challenges comparison of its deeds with
the vague promises of those who have fumbled in their efforts to find
an issue.
