The United States as it stands is
the evidence of the progressiveness
of the Republican party, during the
last fifty years, for the party has been
in power for nearly the entire period.
Democratic managers claim every
thing, -but are careful to say nothing
about a cabinet. They are wise not
to tackle that mountain of trouble on
the strength of wild straws flying in
the wind.
ASSISTANT DEMOCRATS.
Nothing is harder to find in the presj
ent campaign than converts to the
Democratic party. Practically there
are no such persons. That party has
long been decadent: It attracts no
hew blood and is unable to vitalize any
principle. Its latest national record is
one of business calamity and general

lieving your income much larger than it is and how to fight off the
bills that are a certain result of such living. These things rob the

things in life. When a man comes home from the dailv grind at his

where more mrney must be spent to keep the appearance of family

incompetency. Young voters can not
be headed that way, and the majority
of the older voters are warned by ex
perience. The only chance for Demo
cratic success this year, or any future
year, is in Republican division or '
j apathy. It was the Republican failure
I to vote in 1910 that gave the Demo-1
cratic party a lead in one branch of
I Congress and several states in which
the Democrats have long been a mi- j
j r.ority. Next montn "a full vote will ,
i come out and the party that reached
jits highest mark in numbers sixteen
! years ago will inevitably be beaten
unless the Republican party is divided
against itself.
It is to Republican bolters that the
old relic known as the regular Demo
cratic party looks Tor success this
year. Featen heavily in the last four
presidential campaigns that party, im
! potent as well as repudiated, lacks
! at least two million votes of half the
j electorate. Its only hope is in insur
I gent Republicans, and it knows that
these will not directly vote the Dem
ocratic ticket. But their votes for a
third party might serve the purpose.
The third party may call itself by an
other name, but its proper title is As
sistant Democrats. It cannot electiits
owp ticket. It can only help th" out
worn, decaying, ill-omened regular
Democratic party that has had full
control of the government but two
years in the last fifty, and made that
period a horror in business depres-
j sion and national loses. The AsS
ant Democrats are also Second-Class
Democrats. They would get nothing
in case of Wilson's election except the
old Bourbon haha.
"Home, Sweet Home."
"Home. Sweet Home," Payne's song,
was originally a number in the opera
"Clari. the Maid of Milan." a produc
tion brought out in 1823. The opera
was a failure, and nothing Is now
known of it save the one song, which
became instantly popular.' Over 100.
000 copies were sold in the b'rst year
of its publication, and the sale in one
form or another has been constant
ever since the first appearance of this
beautiful theme. The melody is a
Sicilian folk song and was adapted to
the words by Payne himself.

DEBATES PLANNED
(Continued from page 1)
Single lax forces in Oregon, will tilt
lances in Portland, Salem, and Hood
River. Governor West will be chair
man of the Salem meeting it is be
lieved. W. S. U'Ren will endeavor to ex
plain the logic of the graduated single
tax and he plans to show why in flis
opinion tnat this measure should pass,
ivir. Snields will show that the funds
that are being used to exploit single
tax in Uregon are being put up by the
Fels' lund commission, that the grad
uated measure and the three county
siugie tax measures in Clackamas,
Coo, and Multnomah contemplate
the establishment of the Henry
George single tax that the Henry
George single tax is not a system of
taxation at al" and waa not so intend
ed and that it has for its ultimate
end the nationalization land by ab
sorbing the enti: e rental value of land,
and thai such a system is single tax
and would not be for the betterment
of society.
Although M. U'Ren declined to ac
cept Mr. Shield's proposal to discuss
the single tax, on the ground that it
was not the question before the house
Mr. Shield's willingness to discuss the
subject and permit Mr. U'Ren to cen
ter nis fire on reasons why the vot
ers should pass, the graduated meas
ure while the league secretary is per
mitted to aiscuss the measure in full
scope drew the men together. Most
of the debates will be in Portland and
Mr. TJ'Rtn will De in the city tomor
row to discuss tentative arrangements
for these meetings to take effect as
soon as Mr. Shields shall conclude
his speaking tour next Saturday.
Mr. U'Ren is anxous to have these
debates scattered out over the state,
but Mr. Shields is unwilling for this.
"I want to give U'Ren and his
friends fair warning," remarked Mr.
Shields, "that I shall thoroughly ex
pose his schemes for Oregon which
began when he Induced the ' voters
of this state to pass a bill which pur
ported to repeal all the tax, but which
in reality was a measure to give coun
ties home rule in taxation. Mr. U'Ren

During October he speaks in the middle west including Illinois. Michigan, In

five days of his campaign will be in New York While the head of the Pro
gressive ticket has been battling for votes with his customary vigor, his side
partner. Governor Iliram W Johnson of California, has been running, him a
close second in activity. The executive of the Golden State has toured th
middle west and the east in true Rooseveltian style. The Erogressives fee

single tax; that instead there is a poll

personal prope'ty is not exempt in
other words, I shall prove to him by
hi!s own words which he now would
like to deny, that the graduated single
tax and the county measures are
natfooted single tax measures."
The debate will probably be made
on a basis that Mr. Shields will open
one debate and Mr. U'Ren the next. It
is planned to debate for two hours,
the time to be divided as follows:
opening forty minutes, reply fifty
minutes, rebuttal ten minutes, coun
ter rebuttal ten, minutes, closing ten
