who believes that in matters of
government, principles and not pol

evolutionary, and therefore, pro
gressive, movement that has beer
very evident to the observing per.
son in the last five or six annual ell.
ections held in this country.
The noticeable feature in the re
turns is the degree in which results
were determined, not by the politica
persuasion of the various candidates
for office, but by special issues O
local conditions. 1t is also furthe
reputation of the old idea of pol
tiles handed down from father L
son as a business or an estate !

creasing number of men who ar
