..fhe faithful sons of democracy,
proud Of the history Of their party
covering q half century of federal ao-
mintstration, welcomed at Baltimore
the opportunity to substitute practlce
for preaching and performance TOT
promise. Indeed they seized 1t by the
nomination Of Wilson and Marshall
setzed with so firm G grip that II can
not be loosened. Aye, either by the
hooks of republicanism or by the de-
iuded people who have not as yet dls-
covered that their leaders battles are
waeed for himself, not for the Lord
..The method by which the demo-
cratic convention seized the opportu-
nity il SO simple and straightforwaro
that it at once captures confidence anu
arnuses enthusiasm. 1t was accom-
plished by simply nominating for pres

records as governors respectively Oh
New Jersey and Indiana show that they

at is worse than ignorance for them
to smile at the large body Of intelli-
gent Americans who regard themselves
as fortunate II the debit and credit ac-
counts of life balance at the end OF
the year; and to assume that the
mighty many. who are becoming con-
vinced that%tha social system that we
call democracy is but glittering gen
erality, will long endure the industrial
slavery being produced.
Whether voting the ticket or not
men everywhere looking upon the aw-
full injustice of this economic system
are becoming soctalistic in theory If
not In conduct.
"And shall any fair minded man say
that II 1t rebounds to the interests of
the people Of this country that hun
dred men shall control its business to
the good of everyone, that there is
anything fallacious in the theory that
government instead of transferring
business to a favored few for the bene-
fit Of all should itself discharge that
business for the benefit of all.
II do not hesitate to say that II 1t
be impossible to restore this republic
to its ancient Ideals. which do not
believe, and must make the ultimate
choice between the paternalism Of the
few and the socialism Of the many.
