No Government Ownership.

Governmental ownership will never come
10 pass unless they force the issue. They
are the real agitators. and l would kindly
warn them to further desist from pursuing
the tricks and mysteries that have now
been laid bare before the gaze of the
American people.
There Is another proposition that the
democratic party must maintain unless it
las drifted away entirely from it's anchor
age, and that is that this is not an eXecu-
tive government; that the governmental
distribution of powers provided for in the
Constitution must be preserved. and that
the President of the United States to
whatever party he may belong. must not
exceed the functions of his office and en-
'toach upon the remaining departments of
the government.
