chance we will sweep the country. To
nominate a separate ticket invites disas-

throughout the country would result in
reducing the party vote so greatly as to
completely discourage our party follow
ing. If we merge our votes we fail to
reveal any such loss and our people
would be in fighting trim for the next
campaign. To divide the electoral vote
and combine on the candidate carrying
the largest number of votes is out of the
question.
mo authority exists in the Democrat

repudiated by an indignant people. 1t
narrows down to two methods. We must
either nominate Bryan and Sewall and
unitedly conduct a campaign, or we
must go it alone on separate ticket,
without fusion in any form. If we NOM
mate Bryan and Sewall we can have our
own national committee, conduct our
own campaign and achieve our own
success and hold together our party
ready for the next contest. We can unite
or not on minor and state officers and
inculcate a better feeling everywhere.
1t is not for man, but for principles we
contend, therefore let us act like patriots
