"Cleveland Democrats" Refuse to Bo
Whipped Into Line nnd Organize
to rigrht the Man Who Disrupted
the Party Solid South Shows
Signs of Breaking Up.
One of the best Indications that the
Taft and .Sherman ticket vytll sweep the
country In November Is found lu the
continued numerous defections of here
tofore prominent Democrats from Hi.it
party. Practically nil of them ghe as
a reason that they cannot support the
thrice offered candidate and his change-
.able and unstable theories of gorn . -
acent They blmply cannot brin. ? themselves -
selves to be Identllled with llryan.
Perhaps the most mortifying Inel-
denta which the Democrats have e-.j.e-
rlenced In the present campaign v. < ie
an Massachusetts , where two big men
named us Democratic presidential e'.i- '
tors declined to serve on the grn-i'id
that they wet * unable to suplort Mr.
Brynn nnd greatly preferred Mr. 'I lit.
These men were Ferdinand Strauss and

business men of the llrst rank Mr.
Strauss , especially , has been promi""nt
in the Massachusetts Democracy f"V a
long time. Their declination to - t ve
as Bryan electors caused a sensation In
the old Hay State and throughout the
country

went to n nieelliiK nt the stock yards
to see Mr. Taft After sizing up the
latter Mr Davlb declared : "I
tluniKht I would vote for Mr. llryan ,
but this man snroly looks good to me. "
Another Missouri Democrat , E. B.

similarly Impressed ; at any rate , he

Lonls were James K. Smith , bead of
the St. Lonls Hiifllnens Men's League ,
nnd Frederick N. Jndsou , well-known
lawyer both Democrats who have de
clared their Intention of supporting
Taft.
Some readers will remember that lu
1000 Webster Davis , former mayor of
KanRQs City , and assistant secretary
of the Interior under McKimoy , ooltod
Mcltintey to take the stump for Bryan.
Well , Webb Davis now lives In Lou
Anseles , and Is back in the Republican
fold , this time to stay , ho declares ,
lie says Taft Is going to win and he
Is boosting him all he can.
In Chicago the Business Men's Taft
aud Sherman Club has been doing
Htroug work In the campaign. Two
of the organisers of the club were for
mer Democrats. They are Franklin
MifVcngh , wholesale grocer , and
Fiank H. Jones , secretary of the
American Trust and Savings Bank.

Bnltlmora American , as follows "I
can give you the mimes of 100 promi
nent men In this community who hope
for Bryan's defeat. They are not goIng -
Ing about beating drums or proclaim
ing their Intentions from the house
tops , but they mean to vote the Repub
lican ticket They ure tired of sup
porting a candidate who has always
Buin fad to offer that is fundamental
ly wrong and foolish. "
A bpecltil correspondent of the New
Vork Evening Post , writing from At

dence on the surface now that the Re

THE ADMITTED SUPREMACY
OF AMERICA.
is chlotly due to tbe fact that its
workmen are hotter fed than
those of any other country.
In tbe Spaulsh-Auierlcau War
it was "the man behind the gun"
who made the American victory
ao quick aud decisive. \
Aud it is due to "the man behind - I
hind the gun" In the factory
the workman that American
manufacturing is cajtturlug the
markets of the world.
The American , workman can
do more work nnd better work
than any other workman because
he. Is full of energy aud vim be
cause of his better food , clothing
aud home conditions.
THE REPUBLICAN' PARTY
has protected him against the
cheap labor of Europe.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
hati by wise und far-suelug laws
built up American trade to such
an extent that the American
workman is paid almost three
times the wages of European
workmen.
If the working men of the
United States want tlie.se wudl-
tlons to continue they will vote
for the party which has created
high wages , namely
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

"The function of the next adminis

Some of the Democratic nowupapur *
recognize the situation well enough to
begin alrondy to pick out Cabinet oft ) ,
cers for President Taft , but that Is
something that President Taft can do
much better himself. Philadelphia
THE YOUNG REPUBLICAN.
In a business sense the young voters
who have come forwnul since 1KM ! have
more at stake than any other class In
rendering a right decision. Their ac
tive liven are ahead. They hove more
yeaix to live , and are now laying the
foundations of their business careers.
National policies and conditions are of
the highest consequence to them Per-
baps they are farmers. If so , let them
ask the elder generation how farmers
fared under the last Democratic admin
istration. Let them take the umniet
reports of to-day and compare them
with the prices that prevailed when Mi-
Bryan made his crusade for free sliver
and hurled defiance at President Cleve
land because he stood by the gold
standard. At the same time Bryan de
nounced the Republican party for Its
protectionist as well ns sound money
position. Perhaps the first voter Is to
engage In manufacturing or mining , as
wage-earner or otherwise , Dona ho
want his American rate of wages and
the Industry he chooses reasonably pro
tected against foreign competition ? If
he does Mr Bryau'a leadership will
take him in the opposite dlractlon ,
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Tide of Prosperity.
The tide of prosperity may ebb aud

wealth will continue , , to grow In volr
