WED. MARCH. |, 1911.

Throughout the state, so far as
as we are able to judge from
published reports, there is a feel
ing of unrest, and visible signs
Of disaffection within Democrat
ic circles. 1t is not alone con-
fined to those who seek office,
but to the rank and file of the
party as well. In the face of
such conditions, and under the
sting of an overwhelming defeat
in our Iastgstateselection, it does
seem thatsbetter Emethods ought
to be employed to bring strength
and victory. If our party is to
fulfill itssgreat mission in this
state, if it is worthy of public
confidence and support, then it
ought toibe united, enthusiastic
and outspoken on the vital issues
that confront the we'll being of
the people and their institutions.
The unsettled conditions, the
suspitions of::unfair play between
aspirants, ::and the tendency to
grow weaker rather than strong
er in the:fnal..' contest seems to
be charged to the course the
Executive:committee is pursuing.
If that committee denies the par
ty the rightsto meet in conven-
tion for the purpose of taking a
position before the people of the
state, if it seeks to advance the
interest Tofs spersonal frien d S
against other Democratic aspi-
rants, it is evidently paving the
way to defeat. Il In last weeks
issue wetcalledwattention to the
importance of a. platform. We
renew ourssplea,s sand feel that
failure to.do so,swill be as mex
cusable as it will prove costly to
the party..and to those who may
be placed upon the ticket. We
see no reason,why the primary
should not now be held as order
ed, and there is not single
reason why the Democrats should
be denied:the privilege of meet
ing in convention for the specific
purpose of making a platform.
The candidates ought to be
pledged, the faith of the party
expressed, and that done before
the Democrats cast their votes
for any man. We need a clean
cut platform with no dodgers
attached, s.and iwessneed a ticket
made of men capable, and in full
accord with public promises.
With clear declaration and
good ticket we can sweep the
state with an old time majority.
We are not dividedlon the issues.
There is no dissatisfaction with
Democratic principles. The only
trouble is policy. Call a conven-
ton to meetssbefore the date of
closing entries for the primary,
and new life, new enthusiasm
will be added, and a great victo-
ry result next fall. Failure to do
so, may prove extremely costly.
