GROVER CLEVELAND appears to ^ have organized a secret political party ^ ' Df his own. 4: ALL over Southern Illinois the Re publicans are receiving large accessions £rom the Democratic ranks. W. T. BAKEK DMOUHCW BETA* Ex-Pmidcnt of BWRD of Trade and For­ mer Democrat for McKinley. William T. Baker, ex-president of the Chicago Board of Trade, and a life­ long Democrat, Is ftue of the first to reply to Mr. Bryan's letter of accept­ ance. Mr. Baker announces that lie will quit the Democratic party while It is controlled by the present leaders, and that in this campaign he will sup­ port President McKinley. He de­ nounces Mr. Bryan as the personifica­ tion of 16 to 1 and lawlessness, and calls him the greatest imperialist since Napoleon Bonaparte. Mr. Baker is well known for his free-trade princi­ ples. He has been prominent in the work of the National Tariff Reform league and has served as president of the Chicago Civic Federation and was also president of the World's ftiUfc He deals William J. Bryan some hard blows in liis missive. The letter is as follows: The Democratic , organization has passed under the control of public ene­ mies, and no man^ho holds to the tra­ ditional doctrines of the party is un­ der the slightest obligation to follow the present leaders. The policies that guided the party from Jefferson to Cleveland have been side-tracked for the isms of Populists and anarchists. Even free trade has given way to Bryan's promise that he will "recommend such additional legis­ lation as may be necessary to dissolve every private monopoly which does business outside of the state of its origin." This would mean under Populist in­ terpretation and control the limitation of all successful enterprise within state lines; not a captivating programme to suggest at the moment when American commerce is being pushed beyond the seas. The Democratic crusade against ex­ pansion, termed "imperialism," is an ab­ solute sham, a silly and hypocritical in­ vention to divert attention from their revolutionary purposes. Expansion has been the policy and practice of the American people since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, and no man who understands the real spirit of our institutions can be frightened' by the phantom of imperialism which Bryan has conjured up for tbis campaign only. Since Napoleon Bonaparte there has been no greater imperialist than Bryan himself. His will is the law of the party that supports him, and, if elect­ ed, he would endeavor to rule the entire nation with the same iron hand. Na­ pe leon deluged Europe in blood to reach a throne, and Bryan would not hesitate to wreck every industry in the land to attain the presidency. This talk of imperialism is like the rattle of the snake that hurts nobody. It is the head of the reptile that is dan­ gerous, and there you will find the free silver bite. The paramount issue is exactly the same now that it was in 1896. It is 16 to 1 and lawlessness, as personified In Bryan, versus the gold standard and the security it brings. I shall vote for McKinley as representing the latter. Milk Worker* Organise. Employes of the big condensed milk factory at Dixon, to the number of 116. have organized a McKinley and Yates Marching club with W. W. Kent as captain. Thie Is only one of the many clufbs which have been organized among employes of factories through­ out Illinois during the past week. Working men are beginning to warm up all over the state and take an ac­ tive interest In the campaign for the election of McKinley, Yates and the whole Republican ticket. It Hade Him A Republican. Dixon Star: A Democrat, after hearing the speeches of Samuel Al- schuler, Democratic candidate for governor, and James F. O'Donnell, asfced where he could get a McKinley button. He was given one and putting It m his coat, said: "1 think this is the man I shall vote for this year. They failed to convince me that Bry­ an and his party are right this There will be more just like * ONE of the counties in Ma&e elected v • . (Ji preacher to the office of sheriff and i& S ̂ Siiow waiting to see what he will do. II? has taken the Democratic party forty years to discover that Abraham * y ' jLincoln was a patriot, and noi a monster. /^Within forty years more it will make the same discovery about William Mc - Kinley and will quote him approvingly. MR. BRYAN'S promise that he will j not be a candidate again if he is elected president this year does not meet ^3 the demands of the situation. It mean? nothing, because he will not be elected. • Bur he would relieve his party of an ,y immense handicap if he would promise :" .that he will not be a candidate again 1 under any circumstances.
