The policy of the American peo-
pie in the last decade has been for
reform. Men who have sought
personal gain at the expense of
public trust, who have sought gain
in private business by disregard
ing morality and law, have alike
been brought under the ban and
forced to quit their nefarious prac-
tees. In the present campaign no
Democrat should vote for the nom.
nation of any candidate whose
public record does not stamp him
as part and parcel of this great
reform move. Why take "A step
backward!
