Everyone accepts that President
Wilson will be nominated to succeed
himself by tho democrats; not so
much because he is President Wil
son but because it is believed that
ho carries more weight with electors
than any other man in the party. As
a matter of hard fact Wilton's more
recent policies have had mere of n
republican than a democratic cast
of thought and it has resulted in the
peculiar condition developing in the
House that whereas the President’s
policy was opposed by the demo
cratic leader, it was supported with
consldciable vehemence by republi
can leader Mann. But Wilson is con
sidered a vote getter “and the man
who gets the votes and wins the po
.ition and enables tho democrats lo
furthc r or,jc y the sweets of office, is
the man to lie nominated quite re
gardless of policies.
With the republican party which is
not like most of the democrats, stand
!ng on its he: c’, but seeing elearl;
enough wiiat is to the intern t ot
the party of privilege and big inter
cats, the pro. lential nomination '■
a more serious matter than tho
spoils of office.
Never i:i the histo-y of any coun
try will Top Capitalism have so
much that needs attention. These
arc days when men of millions are
talking not alone of military and
naval preparedness but also of Imsi
•v-'.s preparedness. They have tie
idle ideas about bus'noss super-orga
. lion, am! they want to be aided
by tho government with methods
that arc; thorough and efficient in
that super-organization.
It is intended that the entire life
of the nation will lie organized effi
ciently completely and absolutely
along the lines of commercial supre
macy. Tlie entire social fabric is to
bo overhauled and that portion of it
which doos not land itself to this
business super-organization is to be
i :• p aside and destroyed.
Little; maxims about independent
business operations and competition
being the life or trade, little plati
tudes about equal rights for all and
special privileges for none, are to lie
ail of them destroyed and tho coun
try developed along Max' of such
business prudence as tlie interests ot
an industrial absolutism will dic
tate.
Wilson with ins perfuctory me
thods and his academic conceptions
is quite useless for Big Business in
this regard. It is true that lately,1
as at Manhattan Club dinners and
before United States Chamber ot
Commerce receptions, he has delibo- I
ratoly catered to the interests of Big
Business. But his methods are an-!
tique and too high flown to be prac- 1
ticnl, his alliances are of an imposs- j
ible order and with a membership
in a capitalist party half of whom j
are standing on their leads and seel
everything upside down, Wilson is i
clearly out of the question, as the |
party of which he is a member is out'
of question as far as Big Business [
is concerned.
It is very obvious that a change
too has come over Big Business. Big
Business formerly relied upon the
machine and the boss and the lobby
to the great opportunity of the muck
rakers and investigating committees.
But Big Business has rightly enough
come to the conclusion that such
methods are antiquated. They had
to buy the machine, to salary the
boss and to use the lobby with vast
sums of money. They had to do all
these things much against their will,
as men pay out without receiving
in their estimation a quid pro quo.
The capitalist’s idea of a quid pro
quo is a return of lOuO for an in-:
vestment on 100.
With bosses and machines and
lobbies they got concessions ana
franchises and land acts and power
sites. They in turn allowod the bos
and the machine to enjoy the fruits
of office. If they failed to come
through no matter how outrageous
were the demands of the boss, the
boss and the gang turned upon them
It has shortly dawned upon the
minds of Big Business that there is
another and a better way. That is
to make government a subordinate
partner of themselves. They want
regulation when they can control re
gulation; they want government pro
tection when they can control that
protection; they whold have aids
and subsidies and educational as
sistances when they will control t:
their own profits all of these things
They want efficient administration.
They therefore would eliminate the
boss and the machine and the lobby.
They would make commercial ana
industrial and financial necessity
drive government as its partner to
do as is wanted done, instead of
any such thing as a political demo
cracy they would have an effie'ent
business administration through a
bureaucracy taking its orders Iron;
them
I They have tried it on cit'es with
[success. They have been ardent
boosters i f short ballots an 1 commis
sions ’i hey fundamentally were in
control t f the progressive party and
Boosevelt was their prophet. Boose
veit demanded the elimination of the
I,oss and tlV machine and tin lobby.
So <1 i<i Big Business. Roosevelt
wanted government control of cer
tain industries and certain financial
activities so oid Standard Oil an;
.Morgan and Aldrich and the rest.
The days of independent operation
have gone by. Instead they want
nominally government administra
tion of the industries and the finan
ces and the commerce with then
controlling the administration.
The German efficiency they point
out has not been effected through
Sherman acts antagonistic to the Big
Interests, but through government
entering into an alliance with Big
Business. In this they are unequivo
cally correct. They say therefore
that German efficiency must comt
and must come through an identity
of methods. Every department of
government must be a department
searching its heart to aid and ad
vance and increase the business ol
Top Capitalism. But all this is
done under quite different forms.
The policies they advocate are In
sidiously up-lifting. They arc in the
domain of better civic and purer po
licies. They Involve the elimination
of the boss and the machine and the
lobby that has served its purpose
and is now expensively out of date.
They relate to conservation of the
resources of the country and the
control of popular sentiment against
Big Business. They mean assist
ance to merchant marines; subsidies
to the railroads, protection to power
trusts, but they arc to be done under
the guise of increasing the govern
ment efficiency for the people by the
people, when Big Business Is really
the motive and the guiding power.
Therefore the republicans have
to bestir themselves. They cannot
accept a man merely because he will
get votes; he must bo a man of ac
tion—a man on horseback. They do
not want a Root who will give the
game away nor a Taft whose candor
would throw them in the ditch. They
need an up-lifter and tney are going
to have one—even a man on horse
back.
