tneiuSVlile Review.
The Democratic party in this sta+,
needs some attention paid it in order
that the voters can find out what
kind of Democracy the State stands
for. The platforms read one way, and
our senior Senator votes another
way. and he and his friends argue
that if he is wrong so are the major
lty of our Congressman. 1t is our
idea that the platform is right, and
any man who accepts a nomination at
the hands of the people who adopted
the platform should stand by it's pro-
Visions Ii the platform is wrong let
the people remedy it. If the senior
Senator and the Congressman are
wrong, let the people defeat them.
