In REGARD to the effect new election

In regard to the effect q new election
for President would have the New York
Times says: "Our belief is that if demo-
cratic factiousness render another election
necessary. the democratic party will be
crushed by the weight of the nations in
dignation. Pending the election, the ex-
element will be intense. We shall have
eight months or more during which an IN
dustrial and business revival will be i'm
possible all that remains OF confidence
will be torn with partisan strife-with re-
suits which no thoughtful man can con-
template without apprehension. Besides.
there can be no guarantee of democratic
acqulescence even then. A party which
proposes to bring the machinery OF gov
eminent to stand-still by way of aveng-
ing defeat at the polls cannot be relied
upon to accept quietly another verdict, 1t
it also be adverse"
