DEFEAT IS BETTER

Than to Have to Apologize For Wall Street President. DISASTER WILL SURELY FOLLOW The Betrayal of the Democratic Party Into the Power of Organized and Predatory Wealth This Is What Mr. Bryan Said a Few Weeks Ago, and He Still Declares That He Has Nothing to Take Back. Six months ago Mr. Bryan, commenting on the dangers of the Alton B. Parker candidacy, said in "The Commoner": "When the Republicans elect a Wall street man, the Democrats can denounce him and gain recruits by so doing. When the Democrats are unfortunate enough to have a Wail street president, they have to either denounce him or apologize for him, and no matter which they do, they have to bear the odium of his administration." On March 8th Mr. Bryan issued a letter to subscribers of "The Commoner" in which he said: "I am opposed to a surrender of the - Democratic party to organised and predatory wealth- The Kansas City platform is a clear and concise statement of Democratic principles, and failure lo reaffirm it will be equivalent to a return to corporation rule." Those who desire to prove that Mr. Bryan is in earnest in his advocacy of Democratic success on the St. Louis platform, may do so by showing wherein it reflirms the Kansas City platform. On April 8th Mr. Bryan made a statement on the origin and purpose of the Parker candidacy, in the course of which he said: "There is no doubt that the corporation interests have an understanding with Judge Parker, for without such an understanding they would not think of supporting him. Th decision in the merger case shows how important it is that presidents 3houid be in sympathy with the people rather than in sympathy with the corporations. If Judge Parker were nominated by the influence of the corporations and elected with the aid of their contributions, is there any doubt that his appointees would be corporation men? Can the Democratic party afford to lend itself to a movement to so make up the supreme court as to nullify the efforts of the people at reform? t If Mr. Parker Is nominated it must not be as a 'harmony' candidate it must be with the knowledge that he represents the same element, the same influence and the same methods which during Mr. Cleveland's second administration led the Democratic party through 'the valley of the shadow of death.' " On May 6th Mr. Bryan declared In The Commoner" that "the reorganizes are even more hostile to labor's interests than the Republican leaders." He said that "Mr. Bryan believes that the party can win the only success worth having by deserving it In his opinion, whenever the party turns its back upon the people, repudiates .Democratic principles and surrenders to Wall street, it will not only go down to ignominious defeat at the polls, but will forfeit the confidence and respect of intelligent men." In May Mr. Brj'an hired a hall in Chicago and made a speech largely devoted to a protest against the control of the Democratic party by the elements and interests back of the Parker candidacy. He took as his text the New York Democratic state platform, which was prepared by Senator Hill, and passed the inspection of Judge Parker. Mr. Bryan said that he was "sanguine enough to believe that I can prove to every unbiased mind that Judge Parker is not a fit man to be nominated either by the Democratic party or by any other party that stands for. honesty or fair dealing in politics." He protested "against mortgaging the party to the capitalists to secure an enormous corruption fund." He said that the scheme of the reorganizers "begins with the deception of the rank and file of the party. It is to be followed up by the debauching of the public with a campaign fund secured from the corporations, and it is to be consummated by the betrayal of the party organization and of the country into the hands of those who are today menacing the liberties of the country by their exploitation of the producers of wealth." On June 20th. 1904, Mr. Bryan attended a mass-meeting in Cooper Union, and spoke in favor of resolutions directed against the candidacy of Judge Parker, which raised the issue, so the resolutions declared, of "whether the beneficiaries of special privileges shall control the government or whether it shall be administered for the protection of the rights of all the people. The duty of the Democratic party is to support the cause of the people and to refuse to follow the leadership of such men - as August Belmont, whose record is one of consistent treachery to the party and loyalty only to predatory wealth." In the course of his remark on tnis occasion Mr. Bryan said: "What is Belmont's consideration in the Parker candidacy? He is too shrewd a financier to invest his money without being sure of the goods. If Mr. Parker dealt honestly he would say to Mr. Belmont what he says to others, that his lips are sealed, and if

n did so lie would not be Mr. Belmo:it's candidate." ''.;' Mr. Bryan went to the St. Louis convention. The Kansas City platform was not reaffirmed. Judge Parker was nominated, and on July 13th he declared through "The Commoner": "I have nothing to take back, I have nothing to withdraw of the things that I have said again3t the methods pursued to advance his candidacy. It was a plain and deliberate attempt to deceive the party. The New York platform was vague and purposely so, because the advocates, of Judge Parker were trying to secure votes from among the people who would have opposed his views had they known them. The nomination wes secured, therefore, by crooked and Indefensible methods. I shall not misrepresent the situation, or appeal for votes for the ticket on false grounds. A Democratic victory will mean very little, if any, progress on economic questions so long as the party is under the control of the Wall street element. The labor plank as prepared by Judge Parker's friends en the sub-committee was a straddling, meaningless plank. The nomination of Judge Parker virtually nullifies the anti-trust plank." In the last issue of "The Commoner," dated October 14th, Mr. Bryan fuotes the Boston Herald as "frankly" stating that a victory for Parker at the coming election means a defeat for the element in the party which wrote the platforms of 1896 and 1900. Mr. Bryan seemingly accepts this statement as correct, and raises no question as to its accuracy. THESE FIGURES POINT A MORAL In 1895 there were 74,654 vol untary transfers of real estate in Indiana, the value of property transferred as stated in the deeds being $72,133,637. In 1903 there were 103,809 voluntary transfers, showing a value of property transferred aggregating $133,061,415. The number of voluntary transactions increased about 50 per cent., the value of property transferred about 90 per cent. The average value of the pieces of property transferred in 1896 was $965, in 1903, $1,281. The number of sheriffs' deeds In Indiana in 1896 was 1,712, in 1903 820, a decrease of more than 50 per cd.. The value of the property zr'-Jl inder the hammer in 1896 was $1,673,330; in 1903, $709,651. These figures are from the report of the state statistician for 1904. A vote for the Democratic ticket is a vote for 1893 to 1896 over again.

Republic Speaks for Itself. Contrast Republican policies with opposition policies. It is order against confusion; definite purposes against vague proposals; sound record against a chronicle of folly;, broad, policies uniform throughout the nation against haphazard policies different in different states protection in West Virginia, free trade in Texas; gold in New .York, free silver In Nehraska. All the world knows what the Republican party has done and what it means to do. The nation itself prosperous, powerful, with growing prestige and spreading influence is present and might' proof of the wisdom and the righteousness of Republican statesmanship. How fortunate for a party which when questioned about its conduct of the republic can produce as its chief exhibit the republic itself. Senator Albert J.

The return of Senator Fairbanks from his trip to the Pacific coast finds him in full possession of health and strength, a condition particularly to be desired, as the ordeal he has gone through in the last few weeks, it Is now believed, will not lessen a fraction until the 8th of November. Mr. Fairbanks has more than equaled expectation, his Western tour equaling that of Mr. Roosevelt four years ago, which has been regarded as without precedent. The endurance and the vigor manifested by the Republican vice presidential candidate, combined with the deep Impression he has necessarily made by the constant utterance of statesmanlike thoughts, upon the varied class of people with whom he came in contact, give assurance that he will be a stranger to exhaustion or fatigue while filling the assignments which will continue uninterruptedly lor the next three weeks. Senator Fairbanks has given an added popularity to strennosity. as his campaign work equals if not surpasses that ever before accomplished and will result in adding materially to the strength of the Republican party in every locality favored by his presence. Lafayette Call.

BABCOCK'S ESTIMATE. Xew York, October 31 W. J. Babcoek, Chairman of the Republiean Congressional Committee, makes the following statement: The Republicans will elect 220 members of the next House. I feel absolutely confident of this, and in making my estimate I do not take into aceount doubtful districts. ''The controlling thought in r the minds of the voters this year is that they do not want a change. They are satisfied with existing conditions. The country is prosperous. All classes are contented. The farmers never experienced a more profit able year than that which is passing. This is true not only of the East, but of the middle and far "West. The opposition has failed to impress the voters with their attacks upon the President's jwlicy with refereuce to Panama and the Philij"pines. "1 find that the President in the AVesi cni and Northwestern country is much stronger than his party. He ims made a most excellent candidate by his positive Americanism and by the frankness and candor with which he treats public questions. "The campaign has been conducted on both sides with great vigor, although it has been difficult to arouse the masses to the point of excitement. This I interprot to mean that they are contented with the administration of affairs at Washington."
