After dwelling at considerable length upon the
alleged departure of the Republican party Of to-
day from the landmarks set by it's founders Sena-
tor Carmack asserted that the concentration of
wealth and power in the hands OF few men
threatened the succession of the republic by "a
despotism of force and corruption. operating for
time within the hollow form of a republic until at
last even the form shall perish with the reality of
freedom
Adverting to what he termed President Roose-
velts crusade against monopoly and plutocracy."
Senator Carmack predicted that when that distin-
gushed statesman comes to understand, as he
doubtless will that the Republican party has en-
throned the trusts and made plutocracy supreme
IN IN the United States he will prove powerful and

m hqPe c6nd hf %6 The % Democrats Of New
Engand have always been 10y Sya to the great an
and. in spite of recent differences with them
fnd that they earnestly desire 10 bring about a
harmony that will in turn bring success to our
party. Without yielding any Of my convictions
upon disputed question:. I am ready to Weiconss come
every Democrat back into active party service, ana
I only demand of them that they will bow to the
Will OF the majority and support the nominees OF
our next national convention All Democrats agree
with each other upon the main and peTnanehnt
principles OF our government, and they ought 70 De
willing submit their differences over issues how
ever important to tha assembled wisdom or our
party, and abide by the decision when fairly
reached. Upon other basis can any organiizalon
be maintained. and there is no organization 70
which this test can be easily applied as the
Democratic party. A Democrats party afnliatlon
ought to be determined upon what we have oeen
pleased to call the fundamental principles OF me
government and surely it ought 10 be easy ior
men who agree upon those principles 10 subordinate
their difference upon issues OF day or or decade
and act cordially and harmoniously together trust
ing your banquet may serve TO impress s tIlIs
truth upon the minds OF Democrats in every part
