at is not a process of revolution, but
process of restoration, rather.
They (the American people, have
been cheated ny their own political
machinery. They have been dommat.
ed by the very instrumentalites which
they themselves created in tic field of
industrial action.
"rhe present moment offers a great
er opportunity to the Democratic marty
than to the Republican party, because
the Democratic party as whole Is
freer to move and to act than the Re.
publican party is and held back bv a
smaller and weaker body of represen-
tstives of the things that are and have
been.
"rhe chief political fact of the day
il that the Republican party is more
closely allied with these Especially iu-
terests than is the Democratic party
This circumstance constitutes the Cd.
portunity of the Democrats. They are
free to act and move in the right direc-
tiou.
"Both parties are of necessity break.
lug away from the past.
Owe should avoid excitement and
silence the demagogue.

While the lower house OF congress
was considering the Canadian Reci-
procity bill, the Farmers Free List
bill and the resolution providing for
the election Of United States Senators
by direct vote Of the people the regu-
lar republic cans in the house led by the
old standpatters were vehement in
their opposition but the singleness of
purpose on the part OF the democrats
In keeping faith with the people was
impressive. They stood with unwav-
ering steadfastness In most honora-
BILE course. While the democrats show
ed perfect unity on these matters the
republican were divided among the
old lines and not a few of them voted
with the democrats on each occasion.
These measures have not only been
supported by republican mem beers of
the house but some of them have the
endorseme and earnest support of
the republican President. The stand
patters Will have a hard time making
an issue of these measures upon which
their party is hopelessy divided.
The new House of Representatives
contains 226 Democrats, 165 Republ-
cans and one Socialist. On the 18th of
April the resolution for the election
OF Senators by direct vote passed 296 to
l6, the opposition being made up of
fifteen Republicans and one Democrat.
On the 18th of April the bill providing
for publicity Of campaign receipts and
expenditures passed 303 to 0. On the
Dist of April the Canadian reciprocity
! agreement was adopted 266 to SO. In
the affirmative were sixty-four Repub-
licans in the negative eleven Deme-
Gratis. Now the first of the free. list
bills has passed 236 to l09, with twen-
ty-three Republicans boldly coo perat-
ing with the majority.

Pursuant to the call of the governor
the state legislature now in extra ses
sion but it seem hardly possible that,
the governor Will have the satisfaction
of seeing the object for which he called
The lawmakers together accom- p'ished
The democrats are suspicious of trick
on the part OF the old republican state
machine in the pretended anxiety to
have general primary election law
passed and 1t is known that a aum Der
of republicans in the senate are bitter
ly opposed to any such measure. 1t is
almost impossible to even guess with
any degree of certainty what the out
come of the session will be.
Will large majority in the lower
house and half of the senate it seems
that the democrats ought TO able to ar
complish great good along the line of
improving our election laws and even
to pass just and efficient primary
election bill. The people at least expect
an honest effort and not a sham.
