Show WILSON ON" POLITICS. Tho campaign being mado by Governor Gov-ernor Wilson in his own bohalf as a candidate for President, is a commendable commend-able contrast to that being waged by Col. Roosovolt. President Taft is holding hold-ing to the pledge that he would make no campaign speeches, but would leavo the field to those who desired to stump tho country to do so in their own wa3'. Governor Wilson dobs his work without brasB band accompaniment and inconspicuously; but he has struck on a note that will find rcsponso in the hearts of multitudes of AmoricanB. In a recont speech in New York, he stated his point in 'the words: I'll tell you frankly, tho people of the United States aro tired of politics. They arc flick of politics. They long down In the bottom of their natures for a ro-lcasc ro-lcasc from evorythlnp except that which makes the public service look Jlko public duty, and legislation look like the translation trans-lation of the public need Into the public act. Thero is no quostion in tho world but that Governor Wilson has the right of it. The people aro ge.tting extreme' tired and sick of politics, especial- of tho ranting, raving domagogism so much in evidence in tho presont campaign. It is stated that Governor Wilson had in mind ospecially the politicians who havo no other occupation than politics, and who make not only their living but large fortunes out of their political machinations. The extract above quoted quot-ed is held in New York to be a special criticism of Murphy and Tamman' Hall, and he was encouraged to make that declaration as meaning an open defiance of Murphy nnd of Tammany, with the idea that b3r making this open defiance he would gain far moro votes than he would loso. Tf Tammany accepts ac-cepts this as a challenge, there will be interesting results follow; but, iu the meantime, the mass of ;the American Ameri-can people will heartily sympathize with Governor Wilson in his declaration declara-tion that they aro sick and tired of this j'car's politics. One New York report is that tho banks of tho Old West Bhow such great strength in thoir resorves and available resources, that thc- will bo able to handle han-dle the crops without much help. Another An-other is that tho banks will bo hard pushed to "move the crops,'' and that the Government must bo called on to deposit de-posit large sums of public mono3' in the banks, in order to givo them strength to move the crops. This latter report is the bank croak, and comes from the timid ono. who alwa3's wants to havo at least two dollars on hand for ever3- dollar dol-lar likely to be nc.edod; the first report is from the sound business man, who knows. |
