The 'sNew Departure" dodge had
but little to do with it. 1t was decided
by leading members of the Democratic
party that they would ignore any new
departure in the campaign and it was
faithfully carried out from Morgan's
opening speech up to the eve Of the
election. We must look for a loca
cause, and none so nearly accounts for
the thing done as that the rank and file
of that party have become disgusted
with their leaders, and are tired OF
bearing the heavy burdens imposed
upon them. The time when such
de,nagogues as Jim Charlesworth and
John ii. Heaton could conduct CAM
paign successfully in this County is past.
Men of broader views and more honest
purposes are wanted to lead the psrty
out of the wilderness. To attempt to
fetter the growth of ideas and to keep
out of sight leading questions as did the
Ring the New Departure issue may
be still done in Monroe but not in Bel
mont. Ignorance has been the string
bvwhich Democrats of Belmont County
have been led on their last charge.
They are conte4 ting themselves with
cursing each other Many of the sensi-
BILE men of the party refused to ignore
the extravagance and we might add
the corruption of their own officers and
cast their votes with the opposite
party. This may have been the real
cause of the change in the vote. 1t is
evident that no mere side issue will &C
count for it.
