GOVERNOR RUESELL'S VIEWS
Governor Russell Of Massachusettl

Governor Russell Of Massachusetts
contributes to the December number
Of the Forum an explanation Of the
recent growth of the democratic
party in Massachusetts,, which, he
maintains, is attributable to the At
titnde Of the party on the tariff and
on silver coinage. The Massachusetts,
democrats have demanded q reduc.
ton in duties on raw materials and
have opposed the free coinage Of
silver. Governor Russell does not
say that Massachusetts, is vet .
surely democratic state, but he does
say that If the national democratic
platform next year endorses the
position Of the Massachusetts, demo.
Gratis on these two important points
he thinks the state can be carried by
his party. He quotes the last Massa.
chusetts democratic platform on both
these subjects and explains how in
all the recent state campaigns demo
cratic workers have laid their mair
emphasis on these points.
