That story IS an old friend which
does duty Ia many guiaes but it suits
the present situation. The republican

lose Of getting in on not to stand on.
Not RoIherIna over South,
At any rate. there is no general dis
position on tho part of republican
caders TO pay any attention to that
platform plank or to the subject It

lpcver more mistaken in their lives.
