"It i3 all going one way," said Mr.
E. H. Harriman, President of the
Union Pacific, when he returned from
Europe the other day and discussed
politics incidentally with the reporters.
"No one wants to put the republicans
out."
How the downtrodden, oppressed, be
devilled American millionaire clings to
the President and the Grand Old Party!
Here is Mr. Harriman, in the hour of
his Northern Securities troubles and a
rate war on wire nails with the Mis
souri Pacific, fondly putting his trust
in the Administration.
Gould, who controls the Missouri Pa
cific, which has been quarrelling with
Mr. Harriman's road, came home from
Europe and testified abundantly to his
confidence in Mr. Roosevelt and repub
lican politics.
A few days earlier Mr. Henry C.
Frick, of the Strfel trust, returned from utation of Jefferson.

"I believe we can win this presiden
tial battle. I will go even further nd
say that, with anything like an even
showdown of powder and ball, it will be
our own fault if we lose it. The two
parties will go to the finish fairly
united. Each will pU nearly, if not
quite, its normal strength. The inde
pendent vote, therefore, will decide the
result. If I were a republican, and
over about the headwaters of Bitter
creek there are democrats who insist
that I am not much better I would
vote for Parker and Davis against
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Being only
a plain American who loves his country
and clings to its institutions, I mean to
do this, anyhow. I will do it because
it seems to me to be the upright thing
t j do; the enlightened thing to do; the
p.-udent and honest thing to do.
"In spite of some excesses of feeling
and mistakes of judgment, the demo
cratic heart beats true to the essential
principles of the republic as it was cre
ated by the sublime declaration and
ordained by our incomparable constitu
tion. In spite of their intelligence and
energy, the republican leaders are los
inglsightof their fidelity to both. Even
the errors of the democrats lean to vir
tue's side, whilst the very virtues of
the republicans are beginning to be
sicklied o'er with the pale cast of cor
ruption and absolutism.
"The issue before us is whether the
people will allow the republican party
to grow so potent, so to intrench itself
in power'as that nothing short of some
dire convulsion shall be able to uproot
it, orjwhether they shall before it be
too late, take Roosevelt and Fairbanks
by the hand and bid them stand aside,
whilstjin the persons of Parker and
Davis they recover into their own hands
the lost balance of power, which is now
lodged in the executive mansion at
AVashington. -

Editor Democrat:
I ask space in the columns of the Dem
ocrat to present to the Democrats and
Populists of Linn County certain views
of President Roosevelt,- which, when
fully understood, will be emphatically
disapproved by every voter who is not
given over to slavish party fealty.
These views are set forth in the sev
eral books written by Roosevelt before
he was called to the presidency. In his
"Life of Benton," page 73, in speaking
of Jefferson he says that he (Jeffer-
