that have heard of, are from the Wing party.
1t IS true that the great body of the Democrts this
District voted for Mr. Julian for Congress- in lS49 and
1901 not because they Endorsed his principles, but be-
cause they were in hopeless minority, and because Mr.
Parker was peculiarly obnoxious TO them, as he had
always been the bitter revier Of Democratic and
measures. Besides in voting for Julian they gained an
advantage IN local elections and enabled to place
Democrats IN the important county Offices the patron
age which had been unscrupuousy used by the Wings
IN eeconeering against the Democrats. In addition
TO these inducements, there difference in 1919

Whether the policy of voting for Mr. Julian for Con

would be entirely useless discuss now So far as apy
difference of opinion existed among Democrats in regard
to that matter concerned they have determined let

contest among them, shall be- which shall do the most

best Democrats in the District. If the Wings about

statement made through the Democratic organ, at the
Capital, that their vote will be decreased, when they
know it will be largely increased. Such statements are
calculated to make wrong impression where the facts
are not known and discourage the Democracy.
