democrats. Republicans and reac-
tionary democrats will do every-
thing in their power to give Smith
a victory now. They would use it
as a means of disci editing Gov.
Wilson.
In the act of denouncing Smith
Gov. Wilson goes to a higher plane
in American politics.
Mr. Taft has had h!s dealings
with Aldrith and with Penrose and
with all of the reactionary republi-
cans. Mr. Roosevelt passed letters
to llarriman; yea, he even invited
Harriman to come to Washington
city and to discus-J with him what
he should put in his i-essagc to con-
gress. The closing paragraph of
Mr. Roosevelt's letter, la which he
referred to himself a d Mr. llarri-
man both as practical men, reads as
follows: "And then, a few weeks
hence, before I write my message,
I shall get you to coco down to dis-
cuss certain government mr.tters not
connected with the cr.mpaign."
Mr. Roosevelt :nay have been
moved by honest n: tlvea in this let-
ter, but the letter it"elf stows that
Mr. Roosevelt did net, then, enter-
tain that exulted idea as to the non-
interfercnce of big business in poli-
tics that he posEes';e3 r.ow.
Mr. Roosevelt may have never
been influenced by any of the big
business men of his country, but he
has certainly trained with them.
This association, itself, has resulted
in his fallacious doctrine acoi:t f ood
trusts end hud trusts, ihe elimina-
tion of competition aii.l .overr.uient-

Gov. Wilson's associations have
not been with nitn of this soil. Ills

best brains of the country and with
men liaA'iag*-the most exalted vio.ws
of the privilege cf citizen.;, cf the

over the estimated number of voters
in November.
In 1908 there were 14,888,442
votes cast for the presidential elec-
tion: the census bureau puts the new
voters at 3,650,000. They also esti-
mate that 1,347,000 women In six
western state;! will cast their votes.
The total vote Is estimated at 24.-
335,000. In 1890 more than one
person voted for president to every
five of population. In 1908 less
than one person voted to every six
of population. From all parts of the
country the most encouraging re-
ports are being received from the
young men who vote for the first
time next November.
The democratic national commit-
tee has estimated that 65 per cent
of the 3,650,000 new voters will bo
for Wilson and Marshall. These fig-
ures arc based on information se-
cured in the last three weeks from
practically every state in the union.

Mr. Smith Is a dcaiccr^t, not from

whom Mr. Cbvt'or.d denounced for
stealing the livery of Hoover and
serving the dev.'l under it. He was
a member of the 3onrplrli>g forces
that took the teeth out of th> Wilson
tariff bill.
In New Jersey Mr. Smith has al-
ways trained with a jnachine. Per-
sonally, he may be a man of the
highest integrity, but bis political
opinions are low., Ife believes in
the power of dollars and the right
of dollars to organize a victory. If
money is needed to influence an
election, Mr. Smith might not con-
sider It bad morals to supply the
money.
*It wus an act of high courage on
the part of Gov. Wilson to declaret
against the candidacy of James H.
Smith for tho office cf senator from
Now Jersey. It will show to the
pcoplo cf the United States that Gov.
Wilson is not a trimmer, that he is
not an opportunist, that he is for
right, no matter whether it costs
votes or makes votes.
We do not know what efl'oct his
denunciation will have on the can-
didacy of Mr. Smith. There Is this
splendid democratic minority in New
Jersey, but the recent victories for
democracy in that state have result-
