Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 February 1906 — The American Sovereign. [ARTICLE]

The American Sovereign.

The Washington correspondent of the London Times telegraphed to that new’spaper that the president’s message had “startled this country by its repeated use of the word ’sovereign.’ The appearance of a sovereign in the field of American politics has no precedent since we parted company with George lll.’’ That Englishman should be glv en to understand that we are still democratic enough so that every voter is an American sovereign, with no emperor, czar, king, potentate or othei ruler to make him afraid except the trust and coiporation potentates, whom the voter has foolishly allowed to be installed under forms of law to worry and plunder him.
