OF all. ! recognize thnt people who think
will differ and that we often find in Il
platform things with which We cannot
fully agree and We sometimes fail to find In
1t a meatiou OF policies which We recognize
as important. But platforms are not
written by all OF a party. They are
written by n majority of a party. And
when the majority OF party writes
platform the Others in the party must either
stand upon ii or get out OF the party.

there Is Il supreme issue. The isSle is
made teiween those who believe in n gold
standard and those who oppose a gold

risk the issue BEFORE the people who have
suffered from gold standard fer twenty
years.

WAITING ON EUROPE.
These who are resr oasitle for the sold
standard are not the only ones 10 whom
we look for deliverance. As well might
yon ask Pharaoh to lead the children or
Israel out of bondage as 10 ask the Repuh-
lean party Ia break the sha ek,es OF the
gel standard. The Democratic Iarty is
opposed to a gold standard not only
opposed to 1t. but unalterably opposed To
it. 1t is ST. much opIo ed To it that ii
