MR. LA FOLLETTE'S "BLOODY
SHIRT."
Sectionalism in American poli
tics lias in its time dime a lot of
mischief. II. lias poisoned the
feeling and warped I lie minds of
men essenlially patriotic and par
alyzed I heir patriot ism. All rea
sonable men have rejoiced thai its
inlluenee was waning:, and I hat
the nation was becoming' more
and more trnlf national, not mere
ly subordinating sectional inter
ests, but realizing that national
interests honestly and fairly serve
all sections.
II is reserved for a Republican
candidate for the presidential
nomination lo put himself on
narrow, sectional ground and to
try to revive sectional passion
and prejudice. This candidate
assumes a sort of sacred author
ity, by virtue of his purity and
devotion to high aims, to sit in
judgment on bis countrymen and
make goals of all who ditTer from
him or distrust, or. as many do,
despise him. Senator I.a Follelle,
in his recent speech at Saginaw,
Midi., said:
"I don't know of any progres
sive sentiment or any progressive
legislation in I he South, and the
strength of the Democratic parly
is in the South. All the strength
of the party in the South is the
aristocracy."
The last sentence is an impu
dent misstatement. Any one who
has studied I lie marvelous devel
opment of Ihi* So 11111 since I lie
civil war—materially and politi
cally a unique, achievement. with
oiil equal or precedent in the
history of Ihe worbl--l\iiows lhal
it. is dm* to Ihe good sense. Ihe
indomitable courage and energy,
the industry and aptitude of the
great mass of Ihe people. Lead
ers. and very capable leaders,
they have had. hut these have
been in complete sympathy with
the communities in which I hey,
have lived and labored, and have
come In the front in business, in
agriculture, and in Ihe profes
sions. because they have earnedj
Hie coulideuce placed in Iheni.j
For a man who owes his station.!
such as it N. to political industryI
j
only, to sneer at these men and j
lo misrepresent Ihem is conlemp-j
I ihle.
As In I In- absence of "progres
sive" sentiment and legislation
in lln? Smith, Mr. La Folli'lle 1111 —
willingly pays I hat .section a high
ami deserved Irihule. It has ha.I

in his stupid and silly fashion,

nalimiality is cnuslaiilly growing
in the Smith, ns elsewhere. The

animosity will simply he con
