Thomas E. Powell. of Columbus, O.,
another Democratic leader, says
Defeat sometimes means success. At
the worst defeat is not an irretrievable
loss. In the present instance it is the
most salutary and beneficial happen

the Democratic party. Defeat now

the other unholy conditions and en-
tangling alliances which have so heavily
beset the party of Jefferson and. Jack
