IL. %
/ To win in the coming municipal con-
I test the Democratic party must first Sc
cure harmony In it's ranks. The esssns
tial features to this end were admir-
ably stated by Mr.. a. p. Thorn In. pre-
| scnting the reasons which induced him
to accept the Craftsmanship of the DEM
| ocratic party. The differences of the
past must be healed. and,the guarantee
] given that there shall be q fair express
sion of the voice of the Dcmocratic
masses. These enhance the two essen
tai elements for the restoration of har-
mony. The second consideration for
success is the absolute necessity OF NOM
mating a ticket that will merit the sup
port of not only every Democrat, but
every well wishcr of good government
for the city Especially is this import
ant i'm the matter OF the nominees for
Counciimen In the respective wards.
The people will demand the nomination
of representative men. men OF charnc-
ter who have the interests OF the city
ct large-in all that relates to good gov
ernmcnt and its material prosperity and
ueNelUpl1ent. .#
The Democratic party of Norfolk
should rise to the Importance of the
issue that will face il In the coming con-
test and demonstrate Its ability to
meet the demands of the people It
should recognize that the Republican
party and the Prohibition orga nization
will each be alive to avail of every
chance that would enable them to join
issues In order to thwart Democratic
unity and Democratic success, and es-
pecially so in all matters that might
tend to influence to unite with them a
large element of our population, who
claiming to be neutral or independent In
party matters, have II preference fol
Democracy, but who would not hest.
tate to sacrifice that preference IL they
were influenced In the belief that by sc
doing they would advance the interest.
of good government.
The Democratic party to win must Sc
cure harmony in its ranks. and nomi
nate ticket especially for Councilmen
that will command. and 1t will merit tn,
support OF the people.
