Bonhem Review: The Hon. Sell
Shepherd Of Dallas has declared himself
10 favor Of the "neart-of- oak" plank IN tn,
next state Democratic platform. There i.
this much about it: While 1t is our honest
judgment that it would be better fol
party harmony to leave that Issue where
1t is now-beYond the pale Of partisan
censorsbip-yet, if it is accomplished anc
the 100000 prohibition Democrats ar,
forced to stand upon this plaDl
Of the "heart-of oak" they will d.
II, but with the angry grow
of q bulldog that ID deprived
of his liberty. No plank in the Demo
crStic platform is immutable, and If that
osken plank is laid then each convention
hereafter will have tussle to prevent il
| being taken up. II the Pros. were to
put In 6 dry plank the opponents would
| fight it to the bitter end, and would try at
| each succeeding convention to remove 1t.
Human nature is the same and the inter
ests and harmony OF the party, it seems
to US, demands that it be ignored il
party declarations, leaving each Demo
crat to enjoy his own feelings upon thai
| matter.
