", and is as follows:
Upon every hand the next presiden-
tial election Is regarded as likely to be
the most important IN the history Of
the Republic. The question which viii
De uppermost is not simply a question
OF good or bad legislation but the final
icy. Shall the Republic give place TO
a form Of government which viii boz the
equivalent Of "a monarchy or worse
Shall democratic forms of government
be replaced by the rule Of the few UNI
GcrupulOus men who have no regard
for the general welfare nor love Of
republican instltutions2'
with the Democratic party alone
the hope Of rescue remains The man
who by his error of judgment makes
the success OF that party impossible
may be responsible for the downfall
Of the Republic The Democratic party
represents an that there is In concrete
form 0f opposition TO the dangerous
state OF affairs which now threatens;
upon II depends the preservation OF re-
publican institutions To succeed Il
must have thc vote VI the great ma
jorlty OF honest men.
In such a crisis the worst enemy OF
the Democratic party and Of the coun-

platform and creed under which voters
must act upon lines which may eX-
clude those who are sincerely anxious
for the public welfare. To repeat. the
success Of the Democratic party Is
necessary for the preservation Of gov
erpment by the people There are many
issues for which the Democratic party
stands but there IS only one issue upon
which the voters are certain to be
united. Imperialism trust rule. milf
tarism, all mean but one thing an rep
resent but one issue and upon this is
sue every Lincoln Republican and every
Jefferson Democrat may unite. The
finance issue. while Of immense import

more vital interests, No man has a
better right 10 say that than !, who
twenty-five years ago made ID "a part OF
