why are You a democrat?" was the
suggestion of one of the senators.
The governor said he was a democrat
and not republican because. as he un-
derstood it, the republican first principle
was the Hamiltonian attitude that trus-
teeship in government had better be adj
ministered by those who had the largest
stake in the community.
This is instanced,' he continued. lin

the country is solidest which has greatest
prosperity in a comparatively limited
class. But l am not convinced that the

republican idea. as the men of the small
money class grow Weather and wealth
Ter. the prosperity of the people at large
must follow, increasing also. That is like

for the interests of the poorer majority,

nate consideration.

THE fundamental questions that dis
tinguish the two parties are national

I cannot hate a man merely because we
