releasing and distributing political
power once more. 1t remains with the
democratic party to decide this year
whether suitable alternative shall be
offered to the body of voters.
The people are manifestly growing
keen to liberate themselves from the
rule of the trust tariff doodle organiza-
tion which has been guilty of such dire
and costly abuses in administration and
such menacing encroachments upon
individual liberty. The people fear to
intrust the nations further keeping to
the selfishness, recklessness, trust
imperialism and opportunism of the
Roosevelt regime, the trend of which is
toward certain perils, both information
ally and internally.
A safe, sane democracy never stood a
better chance of winning. Let it pro-
coed upon common sense basis with a
view to present needs. Let it announce
itself nationally both it's declarations
and in it's nomination of candidate in
whom all interests many repose conf
dence. Let it address itself to the issues
so clearly and fixedly presented. The
result cannot be otherwise than profit
able.
Defeat surely awaites divisions.
There is no hope for any other than a
democratic party solidly united upon
genuine, immediate, vital issues.-St

PRACTICAL DEMOCRACY.

In order to live and endure a party
must demonstrate it's usefulness. De-
mocracy must either prove itself the
agent of the people or resign it's title
before the world. Eventually it must
either secure restoration of the peo-
pies principles to governmental func-
tions or relinquish it's claim upon their
allegiance and support. However
virtuous may be the principles which it
symbolizes, their mere excellence as
distractions cannot guarantee perman-
ent party life. Principles survive by
application and test. Parties survive
by their seryiceability.
In order to represent the people, in
the true sense, democracy must control
government. In the sense that it has
been powerful minority, threatening
opposition, it has served powerfully as
stimulus and as check upon the
majority party. But this is not the
function which the people value. Nor
in the past eight years have the check
and stimulus been as potent for good as
they would have been under normal
conditions. A despotic and extraordi-
narily developed republican machine
has ignored the voice of the people as
expressed in both parties.
Democracy must conform and adapt
itself to the country's demands, if it
would continue as the great instrument
tality Of the people. 1t must sacrifice
minor considerations internal differ
ences and questions of mere personality
to the vital motive of practical service
ability The great body of voters which
represent political domination stands
ready and eager to employ a democracy
ordered upon the broad plan Of national
needs. The eye Of the country is turned
anxiously upon democracy. What will
it do? Will it so solve it's small inter.
necine problems as to concentrate all
it's strength at the polls? Will it lens
itself to the plain demands of the peo-
pie? Inevitably it will suffer if it does
not.
A great occasion is offered for al
exercise of the power of genuine de-
mocracy. The national government is
in control of political organization
to the organic principles upon which
our institutions are founded and ou1
social body rests. The republican ma
political organization; an arrogation
of power by corrupt means into the
hands of an exclusive ring; it's motive
is perpetuation and further consolida-
ton of control and it's operation is
palpably and directly inimical to rights
in the most comprehensive sense. This
Capitalization of power, as it may be
called, is corrupt to the heart, essen
