NOT WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE
National Democratic Party Has
Proved Its Incompetence In the
Handling Of Its Convention.

The confusion at the opening of the
Baltimore convention was the worst
ever known under similar circum-
stances. There was more trouble in
finding the seats OF delegates and the
policing of the hall. outside and In
side, was extremely slack and care
less. Nothing was done with snap and
decision and nothing showed n strong
and skillful hand at the helm
The convention itself was exceed.
ingly unruly and noisy from the first.
There was much confusion which ap.
peared TO be without definite
purpose or adequate excuse. Speak
ers were interrupted without re
gard to their rights or the
desires OF the majority OF their audi
ence. The climax OF mob control came
when the presiding officer was forced
to give up his attempt to deliver his
address TO the convention.
This does not indicate that the old
Democratic weakness In respect TO eff
tciency Ia the practical business o.
government has been overcome. II
does not speak well for the Democratic
city administration In Baltimore Al
together. the meeting of the conven
ton was far from suspicious.

ALWAYS GREAT PARTY
REPUBLICANS HAVE RIGHT TO

Whatever else one may think or feel

everybody feels that the character and
the future of the Republican party
the party which for so many years
has controlled the country-is clearly
at stake.
The future is yelled, but there is al
ways the past to fall back upon. 1t is
well TO reflect upon II In such a mo-
ment OF suspense and uncertainty. For
We must look to the past both TO eS-
plain the present and to help us to

clouded. there must be In Its past rec
ord causes sufficient TO account for
such situation. For II has been a
