Another Sample Opinion.
DR.. Godfrey Hunter. the Kentucky lead
err. who has come so near being United
States senator and who believes that he
will yet sit IN a chair occupied by the eio-
qucnt Joe Blackburn. said:
"Of course the republican party IS will
ing to abide by the decision Of the country
as TO whether it proves itself capable TO
so leGislate as to bring about conditions
which are beneficial to the people. The
republican party has demonstrated its abil-
ity to do this in the past. and the people

the future The first thing will 10 is to

what that will he. But I am confident
that the republican administration Will
snow itself amply able to deal with these
questions in the present emergency. just
as It has been able to do so in the past.
or course there is 70 escaping the propo-
sitiOn that IL the republicans are given a
fun opportunitE to enact their admins
tration measures and if these fail - bring
about n bettcrment in the conditions Of
the country, the judgment is likely to be
against us"
These are sample opinions showing the
general trend Of republican comment on
the question which The Constitutions ed
itorials. and the expressions of democratic
leaders in response to these editorials
have raised. They express IN n nutshell
the republican attitude.
The democrats have said: "Now. you
have been placed IN power under certain
promises. You must abide by the result"
The republicans accept the challenge.
They say in reply: I'VE accept Your dag
nosis of tire situation. The people have
indorsed our plans. Give Us the oppor-
tunity to enact those plans into lccisla-
ton and We must necessarily abide by
such verdict as the people will pass upon
