1t is most co..enient for the country's s
interests

ment doubt the course which will be
adopted by the rank and file of the party,
IL they avail themselves of the duty to
register their preference at the primaries.
But systematic effort will be necessary
in order that democrats will be impressed
with the Importance of participating In
their party's councils. The enemies of
good government, the benefciaries of
class legislation, act as one man with un-
limited numbers at their disposal. The
people have only their votes, and they
must cast them together or suffer de-
feat. Democrats who believe their party
should be party of the people have 1t
in their power through systematic or
