honors.
With sugar and coffee advancing
in price and the price of wheat and
labor still on the decline, all due to
Democratic management, how can
the Democracy face the country and
ask the support of the people. Itis
more than they will get even if they
do ask. The Democrats of the rank
and file are going to vote to suit
themselves this year, in doing which
they show their INDEPENDENCE.
