party policy.
Mr.. Hewitt's candidacy is not
only appealing to so-called busi-
ness Interests of the District. but
to the. farming Interests and to
the labOring classes as well Our
people are becoming tired of
of perennial candidates, and self
seeking politicians, and the great
silent vote of the District win re-
cord itself in the primaries for
Mr.. Hewitt. This does not mean,
however, that Hewitt's friends
can go to sleep; they must work,
and work every minute between
now and the primary; and, every
minute between the primary and
the convention; and. if this is
done. the victory will be ours.
The tide of sentiment is run
ming strongly and steady toward
Hewitt, and, unless something
unforeseen happens, he will be
nominated by the Democrats of
this congressional District as
their next standard bearer. Our
slogan is having its effect with
the thoughtful Democrats of the
District, to-wit: The next con-
gresham from the tenth congress
sional District must be a democrat
and should be a practical busi-
ness man.
