It THIS DEMOCRAT SAYS NO; WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY? In Its ls.ae of Oct. 39 the Jersey Journal, published In Jersey City, announced that "Former Assemblyman Walter I.. McDennott, son of the late Congressman McDermott, today bade g-ood-by to the democratic party." Mr. McDermott said In announcing his change of party allegiance: "I believed with the public generally that partisanship now was oat of place, and X think it is ont of place, but this astounding call of the president to put none but democrats on guard Imposes thednty on very one to declare himself. The democratic party has ceased to he democratic, for the individual never had so small a voice in its affairs. It is rapidly becoming socialistic and is reaching out more and more to control rot only personal liberty but the liberty of the press. It Is avowedly sectional, too, and X am sorry to see the south so ready to shoulder burdens upon the north. But above everything the party has become an autocracy and Is ruled by the president with a secrecy and a disdain of public participation without example in our history. Tho stupendous grants cf power which the president has received were manifestly dangerous if misused, but we trusted the president not to misuse them. Now we see that although the nation was willing to trust the president, the president Is not willing- to trut the naion. He demands an absolute and unconditioned authority and he especially asks that the republican party be excluded from all power to question the course upon which he has secretly determined In this supreme hour for humanity. There can be. but one answer of a free people to such a demand." mm rry on US T VISIT Major W. P. Pay of the I'. S.
