"The American lingo pretense that
Japanese jngoes will be impressed by

be mostly confined to those in the

the republican leaders are much di-

If the democrats succeed in uniting
on a candidate. whether he is gener-

Cessful, for there are many reasons
why the republicans will not pull to-

candidate is a known supporter of the
Roosevelt faction, there will be MANY
republicans who will not support him
and if he is a 'rcactiOnary" there will
be others who will vote against him
or refuse him active support. Leaving
our republican friends to mediate on
their own troubles, democrats, whc
have troubles of their own, can over
come them by improving their organi
cation and urging measures rather
than men
