WHO ARE REPUBLICANS?
By Senator Robert M. LaFollette.
Speaker Cannon served notice that
he meant to purge the threshing floor
ot the republican party of such chaff
aa Cumulus, La FoUette aud "their
followers." Dy .those terms Cannon
described the progressives ? who, of
course, are followers of neither Col
umbus cor LaFollette, but of their
own unbought and unsubdued minds.
"These people," Speaker Cannon is
reported to have said, "call them
selves republicans, but if they are,
then 1 am something else."
We hope that Cannon is right. If
by these remarks he means that ther
u au irresistible conflict within the
party between Cannouism on the oue
hand and the principles of the pro
gressives on the other, he is quite
right.
There is such a conflict! U is u
conflict between the progressives on
the one hand and Mr. Cannon and his
sort on the other, for the control ot
the party that once followed Lincoln.
It is like a contest between two
interests In some great organization,
the controlling faction of which, repr
sen ted by Cannon, has diverted from
its original objects, and by an "em
bezzlement of power," entrenched be
hind the "voting trust" of the caucus,
the convention, the Cannon rules,
the drilled political henchmen of spec
ial privilege, and the corrupting Influ
ence of predatory wealth, has loug
bid defiance to the scattered majority
of the stockholders ? the voters of
the republican party ? who are feel
ing their way to control of their own
organization through such methods as
direct primaries, popular election of
United State* senators, aud corrupt
practices laws.
If Cannon is a republican, these
progressives, these uudrilled citizens
are cot. If Cannon is a republican,
Lincoln and Sumner and George Wil
liam Curtis and Carl Schurz, and the
man who followed Sherman and Graut
and the commanders they followed,
and the founders of the republican
party, were not republicans.
Cannon may speak truth when he
denies that he has made a corrupt
deal with Tammany wh reby he will
aid the Tiger in New York while it
continues to aid him in congress in
his contest with the progressives or
"insurgents." He may! They may
have come to his aid in that grim
crisis of the last congress, not be
cause of anything he promised them
but because of the deep sympathy
that exists between such men.
For, If Cannon Is republican, Tam
many is republican; and so is Cox
ot Cincinnati, Sullivan, "Bath House
John," and "HinJcy Dink" ot Chicago,
and the powers that prey everywhere.
Tbey may not pass under the same
names, but Cannon himself is author
ity for the statement that party lines
are deceitful now.
But about one thing Cannon is ev
idently mistaken. He cannot gavel
through his classification of republic
an as he gavels through his schemes
la congress. The voters ot the re
publican party will decide as to who
are republicans and who are not.
There will be stockholders' meetings
from time to time and tests ot
strength. The "voting trust" ot Can
nonism, the caucus and the convention
mpy finally win, aad Cannon's de
flation ot republicanism may be set
up -as the correct nne.
We shall see!
But we shall never believe In the
Identity of the party of Lincoln with
the pa-ty of Cannon until the last
ballot has been counted In the last
contest. The progressives may well
bide their time and laugh at the ful
minations of the czar of the house.
Their time Is coming. Caunouism is
merely a survival. The stars in their
courses fight against it, and It is
doomed.
A free, untramiueled ballot in the
republican party would strip Cannon
of every vestige of power tomorrow.
Hi? pronunciameutoes are but the
snarling of a grim old wolf who hears
the bears iu the woods and scents
them closing iu. He Is still at large,
and his fangs are long, but the days
of his depredation within the sheep
folds of the people are surely num
bered.
HAINES TAKES ISSUE.
"There are no secrets in Haines."
"Every man's hand is against every
other man's hand."
"It Is a clique within a clique at
Haines."
The above statements were made
respectively by a Judge, a prominent
attorney and a deputy U. S. marshal
at Skagway this week during the tern
o f the district court. The statements
were boklly made in open court and
affirmative nods of approval were
seen about the court room.
While it is impossible to deny that
the opinion is prevalent throughout
Southeastern Alaska that a lament
able lack of harmony exists in
Haines, this belief is hardly justified
by the facts. It is perfectly true
that there is a certain amount of dis
sension in the town 011 many minor
makers, but on questions of more vi
tal moment the towu has usually
stood solidly shoulder to shoulder.
On the question of incorporation
there is hardly a dissenting vote.
The people of Haines were almost un
animous in voting favorably on the
proposal to obtain a water system
This hardly seems to substntiate the
wholesale accusations which were
levelled against the people of Haines.
No town can succeed that is torn
apart by strife, where there is con
stant back-biting and every man is
trying to knife his neighbor That
Haines is growing year by year in
population and material prosperity is
the best refutation of the statements
made in Skagway concerning the
discord here.
Knocking never pays, purely as a
business proposition. As an adjunct
to social enjoyment it is fatal. ?
