Adlai Z. Stevenson for the Presidency
and ce-PresidencV of the United States

Republican -: = .,1iiist parties Of the
United States.
We rejoice that the new Democracy of
1897, whi"'i was ~" old Democracy of
Jefferson AID is loosely allied in faith
and purpose to the Republicanism of
Lincoln, has again been re-asserted in
1900, and that it is receiving the united
support of the reform forces. We de-
clare our belief that no reason now ex-
lists for the division of the reform forces
into three independent organizations,
and that unity of orgaNiZatian, as of pur-
pose is the demand Of he hour.
We believe that the Chicago and Kan
sas City platforms cover all that is need
ed in the enforcement Of our traditional
principles of government and all that is
now attainable in the line of reform, and
should satisfy the reasonable expecta-
| rions Of all reformers and lovers of their
country; that the pure and exalted char
| acter, the marked ability and high pa
| triotism of William Jennings Bryan, fill
every requirement Of leadership, and
! that patriotic duty demands the perfect
union into one political organization of
all the parties now enlisted under his
leadership.

our support to all its declarations, and
particularly those relating to the silver

spring of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party, which has increased

in 1900, it has practically substituted fol

issues of this campaign, and thrt it will
never be permanently settled until oul

OF sixteen to one, regardless Of the con

the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
