Presented by Fate with Opportunity
OF Great Possibilities.
New York Sun.
To no political party has fate present
ed an opportunity more filled with pos
sibilities of success than that which
today invites the Democrats OF the
United States. An issue peculiarly their
own commands and receives the sup.
port OF an overwhelming majority of
the electorate, divides the councils of
their opponents, sets the Republican
Chief Executive against the most pow
erful Republican managers In the Sem
ate, disrupts the majority organization
in the Senate, and breeds tnsubordi-
nation in the dominant machine OF the
House.
In these circumstances, what might
not honest and industrious. disinter-
ested leadership accomplish What
relief might 1t not bring to the ma
ton? What rewards OF gratitude.
ably expect? What heights of power
and preferment might It not legiti-
matefy win?
Here is needed no great genius, no
innovator, no purveyor of new cure
alls. Only a person of moderately
acute intelligence. not affiicted with the
more violent forms of insanity and Inn
becility, possessing a reasonable de-
gree of sincerity, Is wanted. And the
chosen leader of 6,412,s05 electors is
signing the pledge, espousing prohi-
billion, and fulfilling faithfully his
highly remnuerative lecture dates!
