issues were brought conspicuously forward,

locality in which il operated In the East
the money question was paramount in the
West the cry was against the anarchist
utterances of the party which aimed to
disgrace and degrade the supreme court
The platform for its day was radical
because some of the issues so striklngly
set forth were not then generally appre-
ciated. But that day has passed. the
alarming object lessons of the past two
years have opened the eyes of thousands
OF people TO tho intrinsic value of that
platform. Sentiment has been so often
sustained that the people have not only
grown up TO them since the last election,
but in some respects have outgrown them
What then seemed radical the experience
OF two years have shown to be compar-
atively tame and mild.
