General Comment.

The Democratic gang should appoint a
committee to investigate the earthquake
that shock them out of the knights of
| Labor Convention.
Democrats are whining "about the Re-
publican failures in Maine" AS the Leg
isIatuTe of Maine has on joint ballot just
| 1l6 Republican ma ority 1T would seem
as if it should satisfy reasonable peo-
| pie.
Detroit Tribune: The young man cast
ing his first vote can not afford to identify
himself with the Bourbon Democratic
party, whose record is so offensive that
its own members cry out with rage every
time it is referred to. A party incompe-
tent in peace and in war divided.
Dayton Journal: No Ohio democrat
need ever expect to be nominated for the
presidency. The party will be so much
afraid that he will prove to be damras-
cal that the convention won't dare to
touch him. Ever since Hoadly's nomina-
ton and Payne's election were bought
the party all over the country have had
up banner inscribed: mo Ohio demo-
crat need apply"
It stands to reason that whenever the
democrats and prohibitionists attempt to
march in the same procession, they make
a bad mess of it. Look at Maine, and
Wisconsin is going to furnish another ex-
ample of the folly of organizing such a
procession.
From the Chicago Herald, democratic:
'Gabe Bouck always wants a sure thing.
Because he could not see it in the demo
cratic situation in Wisconsin this fall he
refused to run for governor. From pres
ent indications, however, Gabriel has a
dead sure thing of never getting another
chance"
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: What has
Bourbonism cost Missouri? It has cost
the difference between the per capita
wealth of Missouri (S706) and that Of Ill
inoes (S1,OO6), which Missouri would now
have if the republican party mad been IN
power as long as the democratic party
had been. This is just 1929 for each
man, woman, and child in the state, or
S215. 1858, 500 in all. Each individual in
the state, old and young, has been robbed
af 1929 by the Bourbon oligarchy as real
ly and truly as if those creatures had
stolen it from him by the aid of the blud-
geon or jimmy. And it is scarcely neces-
sary to add that it is to the interest of
every individual in that State that this
Bourbon monster be driven from pow
er.
