urge our party, therefore, 10 be
Sntelllgenty and courageously con-
Etructtve, not merely obstructive. like
the republican party. nor destructive,

The republican platform says moth
ing and means nothing. Il is a plat
form OF statistical invention and po-
lttical evasions. It is obviously the
product Of a party whose sole purpose
Is 70 stand pat and whose sole desire
IS 10 stay pat.

some good and original things, but, as
las been said, the original things are
Not good and the good things are not
Crtgilal.

ron OF clQUes or classes. We have
no warning wings 10 pacify; no con-
TraC-ct0ry declarations 10 modify: no
corrupt bosses 10 satisfy

ness Of their attitude pledge Of the
sincerity of our professions.
Then let Us 80 forth TO an honorable
effort for g righteous cause, TO battle
