party now faces the responsibility Of it's
honesty and party courage can
guide it safely. The real dan
ger is not from without, but from
within. What the masses demand of the
democratic party is that its action shall be
M radical as it's platform. 1t is not the
people but the leaders who now need edu-

democratic party. You will have to take
the prohibition off the importation of

must abandon the specific system of taxa

eyes of taxpayers and nobody can account

Carlisle was then introduced. and said:
Sat last we have reached q position from
which we can see in the not distant future
the plain, unselfsh, patriotic people of the
country once more in possession of all the
political departments of our own govern

always had the courage of his convictions
and the ability to perform the work as
signed to him. This is the prospect which
compensates US here this evening for many
long years of hard labor. and encourages
the hope of better times still to come"
