Congressman Sheppard, Of Texas
has declared that the Democratic
party is as eternal as justice. This
is a plain proposition and one for
which a good and sufficient reason
can be given.
The principles which are advocat-
ed by the Democratic party and the
principles of right and justice to
all mankind; the doing away with
special privileges to the rich and
the giving of an equal chance to
every one rich and poor alike, and
with principles like these to sup
port, the party can not fail, so
long as there is spirit for a
"square deal" abroad. The party
may not be victorious az the polls,
but il is welding that influence
which is moulding the legislation
of the latter day with the result
that reforms are being instituted in
almost every state in the union. 1t
is true that so far as the members
of the party are concerned it would
be much more gratifying TO them if
the party were victorious at the
polls and the spoils OF office were
divided among the faithful, but
so long as it is able to influence
the Legislation and prevent the OPP
posing party from gazing too far
in its high handed manner Of do
ing business, it Is accomplishing
