situation at large strikes mo about this
way: The Democratic party has had its
differences, it's discussions, it's wrangles,

publican party is now entering this
rocky road that we have but abandoned,

policy The principles ofthe last hum
dred years are such as receive the
Endorsement of the people of this coun-
try. If we stand by those principles, we
we will win.
.sThere are lot more Democrats in
this country than Republicans, because
every Democrat has princiJle TO account
for his faith, while every Republican is
simply al opportunist, who attempts to
do what is best for the moment, without
thought for the future. Many men are
on lookout for opportunity to maze hay

sedate convictions and settled princi-
pies are with the Democratic party
