The Democratic party. standing for
the people is under obligations TO right
the wrong. The Republican party are fol-
lowers Of the doctrines of Hamilton. They
hslteva in the doctrine that il is the busi-
ness Of government to help enrich people
and let those few rich people throw
few bones 10 the poor. The trouble with
US has been that for several years now
our Democratic leaders seem TO have gone
over to the Republican field and tried 70
take the lob away from the Republicans.
There were gentlemen who talked about
leaving the party. Oh, Lord. they could

you. that If every man who talked of leav-
ing the party would go over into the Re-
publican camp today and We should have
