years since the people OF this country
have had an experience in such
change as that which the coming In Ut

fought to be broGgnt home to the peu-
pie as clearly as possible that change
of economic policy, such as that which
is deliberately proposed IN the demo
cratic platform, would halt many OF
our manufacturing enterprises ami
throw many wage earners out of en-
ployrent. would injure much the home
markets which the farmers now enjoy
for their products, and produce cons

that no reforming legislation could
neutralize or mitigate.
Appeals to Conservative Voters.

are yearning for that quiet frora dema-

the enjoyment by the whole people Of
the great prosperity which the good
crops and the present conditions ought
to bring us. 70 them appeal, as to all
republicans, to join us in an earnest
effort to avert the political and econ

about. Such misfortune will fall most

| May we not hope that the great MAJ
jority Of voters will be able to distin-s
guish between the substance of per-
Torrance and the fustian of promise: .
| that they may be able to see that those
who would deliberately stir up discon-

who are conducting legitimate bust

In other campaigns before this, the
American people have been confused
and misled and diverted from the truth
! and from a clear perception of their
welfare by specious appeals to Their
| prejudices and their misundersta ndiny,
| but the clarifying effect Of d campaiyn
of education, the pricking of the buh-
| bles of demagogir promise which the
| discussions of a \mpaign made pos
sible have broug.t the people to 4
clear perception of their own interests
! and to a rejection of the injurious
nostrums that in the beginning of the
| campaign, 1t was then feared. they
might embrace and adopt. So may we
not expect in the issues which are now
| before us that the ballots cast in Mo-
vember shall show prevailing ma
| tority In favor of sound progress. great
prosperity upon protective basis and
under true constitutional and repre-
sentative rule by the people?
