of that original and resourceful leader,
the Hon. Jim" Guffey, TO keep the

polls. The more Democratic voters
there are the more trouble il Is 10 par

votes in 1908. That was too much Of II
following to handle and Colonel Cuff
fey saw to it last year that the party
vote was reduced TO 29,933.
Now his enemies are reprOaching him
for trying to keep the Democratic fam
iIy within reasonable bounds. But they
are also playing his game by drawing
off a further undesirable surplus into a
rival Democracy and thus Kidding him
of malcontents and disturbers who do
not understand the Importance or eXclu-
siveness and judge the quality OF a
party merely by its size. Judge Cor
man, a Guffeyite grounded in true prin-
cip!es. explained the situation at the
meeting of the Gnffcy committee when
he said: Il would rather he one OF Il
Thousand and 90 down 10 defeat than
zone OF n million and be in that crowd,

rival state committee.
II will reassure the country to hear
that Colonel" Guffey IS standing firm.
In n world which wOrships success and
is unduly impressed by numbers he
still does battle for the principle OF mt
though few" Where he is there Is an
organized Democracy sufficiently large
for all practical purposes. The more the
reorganizers snipe away his following
the more perennial and undisputed Will
be his leadership.
