Former Governor Joseph w Foil,
stopping In Denver after trip through

Denver News in which interview he
said From what I have learned in
my trip through the West, 1 can say
that the Democratic party will un-
doubtedly win out in the next presi.

bottom OF it all. The discussion of that
great national and international topic

IF the Democratic party will stand
for the real principles of Democracy,
which are opposition to the privilege
OF lawlessness and privileges confer

trouble has been that so many who
call themselves Democrats voted

they see chance of getting a part of

hesitation for the monopoly tariff as
framed by the Republican party.
''As a matter Of fact" he said, 'the
tariff discussion in congress seems to
have degenerated into a game Of
grab, with many of the senators and
representatives trying to get q part Of

Democratic party must stand .squarely
