Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. IL. The
News today publishes the following
letter from eX Wee President Adlai L.
Stevenson:
Bloomington, ILL.,, Aug. l3
To the Editor Of the CHATTANOOGA New:
Il am glad to say that the reports
from the great Middle West are en-
couraging. The positions of the two
parties are exactly reversed from what
they were four years ago. Then, the
Republican party was united and
every day brought the news of disaf-
fections in the Democratic ranks. To
day i'll the face OF the imminent peril
which threatens the Republican char
acter Of our government, Democrats of
whatever school of finance are one
upon the oyershadowing issue of this
campaign. We have united Democ-
racy and day by day old line Republi-
cans are seeing i'll our policy the only
hope for the continuance of our free
institutions Many of the men who
fought us bitterly in the past upon
minor issues are today our ardent
friends. Many who love liberty and
believe in the deathless principles upon
which our great republic has been rails
ed are rallying to our platform in such
as to justify the hope that
the present administration will be
thoroughly rebuked for its surrender
to organized greed, plunging our coun-
try into an unjustifiable war of con
quest at the behest of concentrated
wealth, which hopes to exploit distant
islands under the guise Of benevolent
assimilation.
Il cannot believe that the closing
hours of the nineteenth century will
the American people sanction
ng the betrayal of all that has given
strength and glory to one century and
| quarter of national life. The sordid
,ommercialism which weighs all uues-
ions of honor, justice and right against
;old must be rebuked if the republic
5 to be saved. Ny faith III the Amer
eau people is great for | belive that
lnder the guidance of God, we have
'et a vast work to accomplish for
10 yntrodden humanity. BY our il
ent example among nations we are to
demonstrate the unconquerabIe power .
# peace the irresistible strength of
ustice AMI love. Imperialism with its
word of might cannot carry the day
gainst the republic founded upon thu
ternal rock Of right Yours sincerely.
