any man feel in the ability OF the Dem
ocratic party, if elected to power on
these issues, to execute the Watterson
programme honestly, intelligently and
judiciously, showing neither fear nor
favor TO any man? That party has
never yet exhibited any sense OF fidelity
to platform promises after election. Its
incoherent constituency is simply a
jumble of opposing and discordant ele-
ments useful only as a crude kind of
check upon the party in power. The
faulty which causes it to array itself
against the patriotic national sentiment
of the country in every time of war and
inspires it's myopic leaders to use the
microscope instead of the telescope in
formulating a foreign policy to dispose
of the problems bequeathed by war ef-
fectually removes it from consideration
as a fit instrument for the working out
of any considerable or substantial do
mestic reform.
