to changed conditions the Democracy would be
left stranded, high and dry. without single
issue. In the New England States. in Iowa, Wis
consin. the Dakotas and in fact generally
throughout the West party leaders urge that
members of the House who must appeal to their

could do with far better grace If they had

while their opponents would have no ground on

OF course the President will make decision
until the time comes for him TO write his annual
