that has been the leading since the first inception Of
Democracy In fact there is other principle of Demo-
which has been and highly regarded than de-
voton and strict adherence to the letter and the spirit of
the constitution
The Democracy of the nation has always been loyal
to this valued instrument and the emulation of their example
by the Democracy of the separate states is certainly
endabe trait This old tnetried cardinal virtue should
appeal Democrats Idaho that the issue is squarely
raised surrender support of the constitution would be
undemoctatc and reversal of the webeaten path which
the Democracy of and nation has trOdden for years
gone by through those who have given the party its high
standing
In seconding The Citizens advocacy. of harmonious
party action let make support of state constitution
the one common basis upon which all stand, and let all
Democrats get together under the leadership of Bryan and
the Democratic principles interpreted by him and the
national platform and march to vctory.-DEMOCRAT.
