This announcement becomes ali the

Democracy il suggests and presupposes.
For Dewey halls from Vermont. where
such political faith means. and for many
monotonous decades has meant. ostracism

Democrat must sacrifice every thought OF
political ambition. For generations the

eternal justice OF their cause and its ur-
dying principles. II is q grand thing. this
Vermont Democracy; Without fear. with
out reDrOach. and without hope Of reward
II is always loyal to the faith. TO the plat

and it is the kind of Democracy profgssad
by George Dewey.
