REPUBLICANS FEAR
CHAMP CLARK'S ELECTION
The State Journal is one of the
\
best newspapers in the state and
is very reliable in a newspaper
sense for news matter. However ,
their strong republican proclivities
is quite frequently noticed in their
eiitorial columns , in which their
usual fairness gives way to their
sagacity and solicitation for re
publican policies and candidates
in which they are ready to trust
their poorest or weakest material
and pronounce it good as compared
with tried and true statesmen of
the democratic faith. Note for
instance the following article on
the Massachusetts , primary in re
gard to Champ Clark's candidacy
and the apprehension of republi
can defeat :
( State Journal , May 1. 1912. )
It is time for some of the republicans -
publicans who have been declar
ing their willingness not to sup
port President Taft under any
circumstances to take stock ol
* *
their surroundings. While tl-ie
early returns from Massachusetts
are inconclusive on the republican
side , the democratic primary is a
runaway victory for Champ Clark.
These steadily repeated victories
for the houn' dawg statesman are
enough to make the Grossest re
publican insurgent stop for serious
rejection. Called upon to choose
between the president and the
speaker of the house of represen
tatives , how many republicans are
there who would even consider
casting a vote for the irresponsible
jester from Missouri ? And yet
that man may turn out to be the
only alternative in sight. His
candidacy seems a joke , but it is
.fast getting away from the men
who started it.
THE PRESIDENTIAL SQUABBLE.
Every true democrat deeply do-
plorrs this presidential squabble
in wL'ich some aspiring candidate
thinks more of his own success
than of the party.
This , of course , cannot be said
of Governor Harmon nor of Un
derwood nor of Gov. FGSS nor of
that patriotic Missourian who has
fought the battles of democracy
for over a quarter of a century
and has never yet placed himself
above his party , nor hindered her
progress , nor opposed legislation
for .the benefit < > f the masses when
offered by the opposto party and
he is not now trying to raise him
self by tearing down any other
candidate.
Old Champ Clark fa too good a
democrat to get out and ( jght the
.men who have helped to make
democratic principles popular. Ho
s imply oilers 5ik .services to the
people as their candidate if they
.think he is the man to lead Jjiem
Lo victory , and the same unseKiph
view is entertained by the other
aboved named persons. Either
will cheerfully lay down their own
aspirations f r individual honors
and as Governor Harmon put
it in his Omaha .speech that he
\vould3get under the table a rl Jay
there until the campaign is over
if that would promote democratic
success. . ,
We wish we coukl say as ra ch
for nil the aspirants for the presi-
dent/iai nominuiiou. The fight put
up on other candidates wjll not
l.elp th individual who puts up
the light , but rather jshould turn
every j lriotic domocrs.1 pr re
publican against that person.
thinks DO one
*
good enough save himself alone ,
should be given to understand by
the keepers of the faith that there
are others and more worthy pat
riots , who are deserving and ready
to abide by a popular sentiment
for what he has done rather than
what one proposes to do in a
strenuous campaign of villification
of worthy men , to enhance his
own egotistical candidacy.
The temple of democracy shall
not be builded this year by blood
stained hands or by those who
have engendered hatred by bitter ,
personal controversies within the
party.
Massachusetts primary gave IS
delegates each to Taft and Roosevelt
velt , but the state preference
vote was for Taft , so Roosevelt
has conceded the state to Taft.
Champ Clark won the state vote
in a walkaway over Wilson , but
the preference vote was given to
their home candidate , Gov. Goss.
who relinquishes his right to
Champ Clark.
In Texas the vote was held by
precinct primaries and Wilson
seems to have received the biggest
vote over Harmon and Clark but
lacks a few of having a majority
to control the state convention ,
which will be held the 2Sth , and
this may be entirely different ,
though Wilson seems to be the
leading candidate now.
THE EXCJSE-ISMCOME TAX.
The impression is steadily gain
ing ground that the democratic
excise-income tax , which proposes
to place upon wealth a part of the
burden of sustaining the govern
ment , will pass the senate and
the house. Senator Penrose , who
pretends to be the leader of the
standpatters in the senate , has
made the statement that none of
the democratic bills would be al
lowed to pass the senate , but it is
becoming more and more appar
ent that Senator Penrose and those
who believe as he does no longer
have the power.to "allow" certain
measures to pass or prevent others
from passing.
The truth is , a great many of
the senators , on both sides of the
chamber , either because they are
at last frightened by the \vave of
protest ag.iinst the high tariff in
justice , or because they believe in
the inherent justice of the income
taK measure , have come come to
look favorably on the measure.
At l ast there has besn a cessation
of the talk about the "unconstitu-
tioriality" of the bill , and since
this always has been the stand pat
way of opposing all logical meas
ures , the sign is considered a
geol one. Nobody pretends to
know , of course , what President
Taft will do in the event the bill
passes the senate and reaches him ,
but from the amount of popular
approval that has been accorded
the measure , it is admitted by ev
en the friends of the president
that a veto for this measure will
/
mean political suicide for him.
The present tariti' law raises
about § 330,000,000 a year in gov
ernment revenue. And for every
dollar of revenue turned into the
United States treasury , it is esti
mated by democratic Je&ders in
congress who have studied the
question from every possible ang
le , that the tari/i' / barons put five
into their own pockets ip yhe form
of loot. In other words , the tar
iff gives these beneficiaries the
right to pollect five dollars in trib
ute for evdi'y dollar the govern
ment collects in revenue ,
This condition is alone respon
sible for the horde of mushroom
millionaires ; this country. On
every hand the pcwi > fc ay tribute.
In the past , the tariff barons
have -ui' sjd a tariff for two princi
ple reasons. f FS.t ; they pretend
ed they wanted to protect Ameri
can workiugmen. That this arg.u- .
ment , which jtjje republican pro
tectionists listened to with a
willing ear for the past sixteen
yearis ; a farce , pure and s'mple ,
has been pi oven by the dcivu crats
this session of congress , chiefly
thu various investigations
into trust methods. Secondly , the
trusts urged that in no other way ,
could revenue to support the government - '
ernment be collected.
Having disposed of the first
argument , the democrats , through
the exise-income tax bill , have of- ,
ferect a solution of the other al
leged difficulty. The democratic
party believe there is another way
to meet the expenses of the gov
ernment , and that that way lies
through an income tax. And on
the merits of that belief the party
is going to ask for national sup
port next November.
