'What do / think was the effect OF the
last election on the party? That 10 a hard
question TO answer. because 30 much de-
pends on the viewpoint. A few days after
the last election certainly thsre was no
particular cause for the party 20 feel dis
couraged. II had elected all OF the offi-
GERS except the congressman IN the First
district and the governor and this after
the best and most aggressive campaign
the Democracy had put 20 In years. by
magnifying an issue that gave abundant
opportunity 10 appeal 10 prejudice or pop
ular distrust. And even then. so far as
my own case was concerned, IL seemed 70
me that Mr.. Higgins had not been so
much elected as had been defeated.
II believe that the thinking members OF
the party, and they are in a large major
ity, though they may not appear 10 be so
numerous as are some others, believe that
the party should look more toward it's
past for inspiration and toward the pres
ent and the future for It's action. A state
cannot stand still any more than a man
can; both must change. And IL Is the part

as this 1 believe that II will make a seri-

not say anything more definitely than
this. To those who felt that IL was
