If it were possible to carry out
the suggestion of the Waco Times
Herald and make of the Baltimore
convention a gathering of the peo-
pie instead of the politicians, letting
the platform there constructed be
framed according to the specified
lions of real democracy, there might
be several of the office holders gen
orally accepted as democrats who
would find themselves rather I'M
comfortably directed. But it is a
true democratic idea that those VINO
serve should be directed. The power
of enactment is with the national
and state legislators, but that which
they enact should come as Il res
ponse to the demands of the people.
The office holder may have his
rights, but he should be subject to
the will of those to whom he is re-
sponsible for election.
