To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems to the writer that the people OF the
socalled East do not appreciate or understand the
present dangerous conditions. They do not seem
to grasp the situation In the Middle or Western
States In the East there is no apparent danger:
hence there is feeling OF security there. II the
people Of the East could only visit the sections
referred to- then doubt, they would be aroused
to n realization OF the existing dangers. In those
sections are thousands Of people In debt. and many
believe and others are being made to believe every
day by q set OF blatant demagogues. that much OF
their msforunes como from financial oppression
by the people Of the Eastern section OF the coun-
try.
In the West the people are greatly embittered
against the East. This hostility seems to be in
creasing and there are those who would cut aioo,
II they could There Democratic leaders who
daily preach to the masses Of the West that the
South and West would be better OF without the
East and thus poison the minds OF the Western
people When people are IN debt and In financial
straits they are easily Influenced and preJudiced by
demagogues II the Democratic party should sue
coed on It's platform OF socialistc and anarchstic
tendencies, there people who would insist on
the doctrines now taught them being carried out.

ocratic principles would prove the greatest ca)am-
