ThIs objection Is personal or political and cannot stand In the court of finnl issllo when the question is a cllnal on the Panama route or no canal at all. On thIs question no one doubts how the AmerIcan people would voto. East and West , North and SOllth , Democrats and POPllllstS , as well as Ilepubllcans , they are In favor of an Isthmian cann ! . 1\11' . Gorman's scheming - ing to defeat the ratification of the canal treaty has developed the strength at the canal Bentlmont In the Democratic party.
