"rhc Democratic party has been =
called by its opponents a party of \
strict cOnStructionists. No greater
compliment could be paid them and no
policy Is more needed at the present
time than one which recognizes fully
the restrictions and limitations of ca
ecutivc authority and action. Encour-
aged by the practice of the party in
power, we are fast drifting in the dircc-
ton of Capitalization and Imperialism.
"Thc people will have to decide
whether the policy is to be continued
of permitting the part isan participation ID
IN the work of the election by the hun
drCd thousand SalariCd Office holders
including members of the cabinet. The
civil service law and its rules and =,
regulations are being set mt naught. :,
and the army of government employees
is labOring for the continuance in
power of the present administration.
This can only be done ut the neglect
of their duties, and to the dCtrimcnt 2,
