just a strong man and each one OF
the candidates suggested for the Dem
OcTatic nomination il strong man,
just that and nothing more. TO not
look for Moses, We don't need him
We would not be satisfied with such
man if he were to be elected Presi-
dent for we would not understand
him
The more Roosevelt and Taft tell
the secrets of their political lives,
the more. we see that they are just
men and nothing more, no Moses in
either Of them, for you recall that
Moses put twelve commandments on
one stone and we have them printed
and laid carefully away. Neither
Taft nor Roosevelt are making use
the Moses commandments just now
10 w. may infer thai neither of tn
gentlemen III acquainted with this Old
Testament Prophet Like an upper
and another milestone they will
grind out the Truth and when the
American people see the Truth they
will turn from the Republican party
and select a Democratic President
this year.
Nothing ever happens after election,
you have observed heretofore and this
year 1T will again b. 10, but there il
something going on before election
this year. Name Clark, or Wilson or
Harmon or Gaynor or even Bryan
and the people will make him Presi-
dent, and you will find that nothing
will happen after election.

CHANGING THE FEDERAL con-
STITTTT0N,

1t is well that the processes Of
changing the Federal Constitution are
such that 1T cannot BE- altered at will
in accordance with every passing
breeze Of wavering public sentiment.
It is an excellent measure, which has
time and again proved it, adaptable
1ty to conditions not dreamed of by
those who make it, That a conven-
ton for it's amendment at this time
would prove a doubtful, possibly a
dangerous, experiment il apparent,
and certainly there i no evidence of
great public demand for material
change in any Of it's provisions. An
amendment il now pending, providing
for clothing Congress with power to
pass laws imposing an income tax,
but it's fate is still in doubt.
Up to date fifteen amendments have
been made to the Constitution, and
the last three came during the Recon
struction period following our Civil
War, and were in reference to ques-
lions left by that great conflict. They
are, In order: The amendment pro-
hibiting slavery; the amendment
prohibiting the payment by the gen
eral government OF debts incurred by
the States in rebellion Oh for the loss
of slaves; imparting the privilege Of
suffrage to negroes, the latest amend
ment, was ratified in 1869, since
which time there has been no other
change-WilmIngton Every Evening.

Although the real Presidential cam

National Conventions, there are indi-

Before Champ Clark was selected for
