When the most intelligent. uncom-
promising advocates of any policy en-
dorsc a political party the natural in
ference is that its principles accord
with their ideas and hobbies. Clar-
ence S. barrow and Henry d. Lloyd are
two of the most eminent advocates of
state socialism in this country. Both
unqualiiedly endorse the Chicago
platform for it is a long step toward
their ideal of a socialistic revolution.
1t will thus be seen that socialists in
this country need have no fear Of en-
dorsing Bryan and Sewall for those
gentlemen have been vouchcd for by
two of the most eminent authorities
that ever subscribed to the wild thco-
res of Karl MarkX. But what are
other people who do not believe in so
cialism, to do?

A Contradiction.
On. Y. Sun, Dem.)

Do YOU say that you are against
Bryan, but not for Mckinley? Then
you contradict yourself. If you are
against Bryan, you want to beat him.
and how can you beat him except by
being for Mckinley?
If a third ticket is nominated by
the sound money Democrats. it will
not be put up with any expectation
that it can be elected. 1t could not get
the electoral vote of a single state,
probably not even majority of the
votes in single election district of the
whole Union.
If you are really and earnestly
against Bryan. you want to use your
vote most effectively against him.
You want it to go as far as possible
to prevent the revolution of which he
is the leader You want to waste no
powder and to be sure that you hit
your mark.
The talk about nominating a third
ticket in order to preserve Democratic
consistency is not the talk of the sort
Of men who are necessary in this
emergency if the determination of the
BlYanite revolutionists is to be de-
feated. If our institutions are pre-
served from that assault, their de-
tenders will need be of sterner stuff.
They must be men who have no other
ambition than to drive back the as
sailants, and who are thinking rather
of accomplishing the result than of
the particular pattern of weapon they
are obliged to use in the contest.
In this campaign whoever is not
with the forces of honor and honesty
will he against them. There is no
middle or third course.
