Concluding. he SAYS:
Finally. let the things for which
the new Democracy Will stand be def
mite and set. Give the people some
thing to vote for and they will vote
for it, Let the fellows who do no. be
lieve in the things for which the Dem
ocracy stands go away to some other
party. Don't be afraid to let them
go. For every man who deserts the
party of The people because it stands
for the people, there viii be found a

I'VE are now compelled TO separate
the democratic Democracy from the

1T is high time for a reorganization |
If parties in the republic, anyhoa
There are Democrats who ought to be
and Republicans who |

men find their political level Let |
hem seek the camps to which they be |
ong. Don't be afraid 90 where |
our convictions lead you, if you are
lot a Democrat. don't be false TO your |
political conscience, but 80 right on
o the Republican camp. If you are |
lot Republican and your Interests |
lie with the Democratic party, come /
light in to the fellowship Of your real !
aith ana your evident welfare. The |
urse of all parties is the compulsory
oyalty that comes from environment
r heredity. The Democracy and the
'lutocarcy have a great battle which
aust be fought out Let us fight ii
and let us have no hali-heart-

amp.
Upon these lines a new Democracy /
which will really represent the peo-
lie can live and prosper and win.
But there must be new Demo
