DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANS
fS
Sulzer Goes the Whole Thing
While Bryan the Same Day
Registers a Kick.
There has been much speculation
about the- outcome of the support o:
the president by the democratic party
in congress, the question has been
frequently asked: "Under these cir
cumstances is there any democratic
party?" That support does not seem
to be unanimous. At a dinner given
to President Roosevelt by the Hun
garian club on the east side in New
lYork last Tuesday, Congressman S'ult-
zer, the democratic member from that
district said:.
"I shall stand by the 'president In
his fight against the senate of the
United States. He has been right in
all these matters. The people have
said so, and he is right in the sena
torial controversy and I believe that
the American people will uphold and
sustain him in his fair and just con
tention. : .
"The senate of the United State3 to
day is an aristocratic, autocratic and
plutocratic . body. It Is the most un
democratic, the most unrepublican, the
most un-American " institution in our
political system. Some of the sena
tors are all right, but most of them
are generally wrong and try- to stay
wrong. Just think of it, my friends,
forty-five men in the United States
senate practically control and run tho
government of the United Star :-,
spurn the executive, spit upon the
house of representatives and bid de
fiance to the American people. We can
never secure the reforms the American
people want and demand; we can nev
er change the' plutocratic system now
enthroned and in power throughout
the country, until we reform the sen
ate of the United States." . r
The same day that Mr. Sultzer made
his speech, Mr. Bryan gave out an in
terview at St. Paul, Minn., in which
he said: -
"I believe the senate Is right in re
fusing to surrender its right to a voice
in making treaties and I think ; the
president tn error in making the action
of the senate a basis of criticism. The
very fact that he refused to recognize
the right of an opinion so overwhelm
Ingly expressed is evidence of the dan
ger' of delegating- to him the power
which he asks."
All this of course refers to the fight
between Roosevelt and the senate con
cerning the confirmation of the arbi
tration . treaties, the senate having, de
termined to amend j them and Roose
velt. declaring thaUif it does he wil
never present; them1 to the countries
with which they were made. The sen
ate wants each arbitration submitted
to it, before it goes to The Hague.
A Raid on Populist Principles
Editor Independent: The referendum
vote recently taken by your paper in
regard to further fusion with democ
racy was interesting (I. think) only so
far as it amused. The plea of some
democrats who pose as populists for
further fusion right in. the face of all
the sad object lessons that populists
have before them is presumptous in
the extreme though not unexpected
By the way, I see that one of your
townsmen at a recent banquet at Mem
phis favored the idea of government
operating the main trunk lines of rail
roads and the states operating the
shorter or lateral roads. This would
make a complication of at least forty
eight systems. An Idea that would
be a very mixture of the delays, trans
fers and perplexities of such systems
could be imagined by presuming that
our mails today were handled in this
manner, v
It is safe enough to presume that
another foray upon the now popular
principles of populism are contem
plated. We can not hope to suppress
this during the off years however mis
leading and damaging it i3 intended to
be.'
However, wnen tne order comes
again Wall street to democrats as it
will in 1908, to be "reliably regular," it
will be submissively obeyed by all who
are of a make-up that requires them to

To those of your correspondents who
seem to be confused by this discussion

substantial way the betrayal of the
