Thursday , January & 3 , 1902 If the class of men represented by the Pioneer Grip had sta yed loyally by the party in 1896 and 1UOO there would have been no defeat for W. J. I3ryan. Their loud clamor now for all demo crats to get together under their views for a success in 1004 is ill timed and out of place and coming from the men who proved traitors to the democratic party by voting or talking Palmer and 13uckncr ideas entitle them to no place in democratic ranks until they show a willingness to accept the decision of the national convention and work in har mony for these candidates. This getting sulky and going away back when every little detail is not complied with accord ing to your fancy does not strengthen partv lies nor promote public welfare. There is a right and a , wrong and who ever cannot choose between two oppo- / sites , and Oud it convenient to start a little side show of their own must soon er or later get back with one or the oth er of two' opposing parties. Whatever they accomplish by their side show Avill never entitle them to leadership in view of the fact that they represented only a small element ot kickers and less than one twentieth of the real democrat ic party. The stir and lack of conGdenca in success by a large number of voters who otherwise would have been with us but because of contention by this rattling , loud talking class of kickers made it appear that there was a divis ion of the party and that their onlj hope of standing in with the , success ful , was to vote with the party that was not divided in sentiment in public de clarations. These kickers should lay down or go away back to where they belong. They are too fesvin number to swing the democratic party and can only occupy the place of kickers or get into-the republican party that we may light and an open enemy. We have refrained from making straight talks against thesa kickers before , hoping that there tmight be some phxnk by which they might reach the great dem ocratic boat. If the democratic party should look upon them as the common enemy and fight them as republicans they would , place the proper estimate upon their value. The following clipping from the Press Jo urnal of Harrison Nebr. . goes after the Pioneer Grip of Alliance for its narrow contracted views on democracy , INTELLIGENCE OR BIRTH A man having been born of a politic al faith will always be of that faith at heart no matter what his pretentious inav be in after life and sooner or later if life is spared he will be found among his own. Alliance Grip. , Of all the fallacies for which that paper is famous this certainly is the wildest one that has ever been sprung on the unsuspecting readers of that sheet. It seems incredible that a man in this enlightened 20th century would hold ( o the theory that a man's politic al belief is a matter of birth. But this explains the reason why the policy of that paper has been as it has. Long ago they forsook all logical argument and wty shouldn'J ; they ? As long as a man.is born in a political party and cannot be changed by reasoning or cir cumstances , why not pump all the slush obtainable in to "him and then rob him before his eyes ? His intelligence does not enter into tko consideration for he was 'Yorn in the party. " It doesn't matter how much the" party has changed it's prin ciples , it may even have gone inu oppo sition to the principles of the govern ment. These are matters of small im portance compared with the fact that a man's father'was a republican or a democrat when he'first b'aw tho light of day. How strange it is that political writ ers and speakers have been deluded all thele 3 ears with the idea that their el oquence and logic cciuld turn voles. . "What a a erroneous saving of breath and thought would have been a'ccJOmp- lishVd if they had only realized , that political faith isn't a matter o ! reason- ing but a matter of birth and if they wanted to change a man's vote they must change his birth or delude him into the idea Ww jj l s been m&taksn j " * * in thinking that.his father was a dem ocrat or a republican when , he was born. ' Instead of speech making we would have had courts organized and doubt ful voters would have had it proved conclusively by numbers of eye v/it- , nesses that at the moment of their birth their father was avowedly a democrat while they had been laboring under Ihe impression that he was a republi- can. can.Instead Instead of devoting valuable space in political editorials all these years , that I space would have been occupied with the genealogy of doubtful voters. Whafc a dramatic incident would be a presi dential campaign , the outcome of which would rest in the beliefs ot the first fellow off the Mayflower and . .who was somebody's ancestor. But alas we have been laboring under this mistaken idea so long that it is hardly probably that even the Pioneer Grip with all its vast B. & M. influence can change the way people have of vot ing according to their intelligence and not according to their birth.
