ter eighteen years Of opposition the
Democratic party finds itself in ma

Of public affairs is very largely IN
their hands. II they make a signal
failure in meeting the demand OF the
country either by doing what the
country does not wish TO see done, or
by emitting to do what public opinion
regards as necessary, they will find
their party badly handicapped in the
presidential race. If the party in
Congress cannot develop some post.

ocratic Congressman will do their par
