Baltimore A,ae5ioqn Some of the free
trade Democrats conclude that the reverse in
Pennsylvania has about buried Sam Randall.
They will discover their mistake later on.
Mr. Randall Is like a description of the Rus
sian soldier: Unless buried many feet under

Philadelphia Pres: There Is nothing left
for Mr. Randall and his protectionist col
leagues but to fight to the end against the
federal administration. and no such fight
can alter or conceal the tact that even in
Pennsylvania the Democratic party is now
openly in favor of free trade organizes the

charge.

will be carried out If il Is not, then we I
may expect to see the Democratic party 90
to the rear for another long period.
