DEMOCRATIC BOASTS
Our Democratic brethren are having
their usual pre-election good time, pre
dicting uocM for their party In No
vember, notwithstanding the great pros
perity with which the country has been
tileesed under Republican administra
tion. They deny, of course, that Re
publican policies have anything to do
with national prosperity, though they
are prompt to ascribe any temporary
reverse, soch as last year's financial
flurry, to the shortcoming of the ad
ministration. Even in Oregon the
brethren are hopelul and are cbtimng,
since the visit of John Sharp' Williams,
the Democratic floor leader in Congress
that Oregon is to the doubtful column .
How will their boasts be answered,
especially in Columbia County, on elec
tion day? There is no pretense now of
non-partisanship. Having fooled we k
kneed liepubl cans into placing a Dem
ons! In the State House and his oppon
ents in postioos of trnst and power
throughout the State, they have called
in their skirmish lines and are ready to
make the assault in force.
There is nothing in the past history of
Democracy to commend it to the voters
of Oregon, and the only hope that party
has of success is in the forgetfuloess of
the people. Mr. Bryan isrunnlng away
from his past record and does not dare
discuss the lisoe he poshed to the front
in former campaigns. Every predict ion
of disaster ha proven to be false, so he
seeks for votes by advocating meat ure
bis follewer in the South will utterly
repudiate should a Democratic Congress
be elected.
The Southern States are the plagne
spo'.s of the labor world and the home
of child labor and the prison contract
system, and the senator from those
States wonld promptly suppress an at
tempt on the part of a President to dic
tate to them legislation oppoted by their
constituents. No such legislation was
enacted while the Democracy was In
power, nor have any of the statutes
in favor of the laboring men been pro
posed by Democratic leaders. It Mr. I
liompera succeeds in delivering the
labor vote to Mr. Bryan he will find
that he has played the part of Delilah
and thorn 8ampson of his strength.
Here, in Columbia County, however,
t e only question is as to tha size of the
Republican nisjorily Our Democratic
brother) place it at 250. If their claim
is correct Oregon's vote is certainly in
uonbt. It remains for Republicans to
show them their error. Labor from
now to election day to see that every
Republican vote in the county is cast.
ami lommuia county will snow a ma-
juorty for Talt of from 750 to 1,000.
This is the banner Republican county
of the State, and we should do our best
lo keep it so on national issues.
