gladly have made the appropriation. However, we
have had hard fight, and fair one. We have lost,
not from indifference on our part but becanse we

done that is, started vi the country. and think tho

There Is thing certain, Democracy will never get
tie strong support OF the Independent voter until they
bring TO the front the intellectual conservative men
OF their party. When demaCO-IeS rule and put
wooden men in public Offices. that party Is bound to
come to grief"
This letter speaks for itself.
