ttsm is synonymous with democracy.
It has always stood opposed to all
dangers, which threaten the welfare
s.nd prosperity of the nation. To be
q democrat one must believe in the
principles of jefferson, the father of
democracy and Madison the father of
the constitution So let us hold fast
- all he has given us. Jackson, Til
cen, and Hendricks held these same
principles and today they are exempli-
fed by the greatest of all democrats.
William Jennings Bryan, the great
premier of democracy. He is a con-
s4rvative force, because he believes in
economy. honest pay, that it is
wrong to rob the many to enrich the
few. and believes it a dangerous de-

republicans say to the labOring man,
Fall down and worship us and when
November 3 arrives and we are re

organization among the forces of the
Democratic party. He declared the
