says:

"There undoubtedly is strong

for party in this country that
will be based on true democratic

Il believe the democratic party,
so-called, has become so discredit-

poi'cies that IT. can no longer de-
mand the confidence and respect of
the community, and that it il there

Tor a party based on true demo-

"Out Of this condition will grow

this party will he the Independent
party or not will depend on the
worthiness of the Independence
party. | think this new party will
