former law partner Of David B. Hill:
-Four years ago, with large num-
Der OF Democrats throughout the coun-
try, revolted from the platform for
mulated at Chicago. l had fond hope
that possibly they might come back
to reason and true Democracy, but the
reiteration OF the same sentiments at
Kansas City, the re-affirmation Of the
same doctrines. the addition Of worse
one, that is, to haul down the Amer
lean flag in the Philippines, has con
vinced me that Organism is Populism
run mad. l am amazed that any por-
ton OF my fellow Democrats Of the old
period should, for the sake of this
bugaboo of Imperialism. undertake to
crawl back into the so-called Demo-
cratic party"
John Kuykendal, Denver, Colo:
The people of this country almost
unanimously urged the President to
engage in the recent war. l am an
American and l do not see how l can
honorably do anything but sustain the
President"

district court saying: at is for the
greatest good Of the country that
President Mckinley be reelected The
country has prospered. l am not in
sympathy with the position taken by
the Democratic party on the question
Of expansion. Both Of the parties are
sincere in the statements that under
certain conditions combinations of
capital should be subjected to legisla-

o.. who supported Bryan four years
ago: Bryan stands for the reopen

The GRIP Of imperialism finds no echo.
It is too silly dodge to catch the peo-
pie with. To make us Germans believe
that we stand in danger OF militarism
requires better proof than Mr.. Bryan's
word"
