THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.


 It will be hard for the Republi- can party machine To reorganize the party on any lines that now exist. with any hope of success This statement is based upon the fact that the old stock-in-trade tariff principles of that party have been knocked into the proverbial cooked hat" and they can never see the light of day again upon their areu- mcntS against the trusts. for the reason that the Democrats will tak' care of the trusts in the next four years. by depriying them of their tariff graft in such an effective wav that they will not he able to put up aven a good bluff upon that score.
 The only thing left for the Re. publican party is to wait for g blunder of the Democrats. and for this they may have to wait long
 The Democrats have as leaders men that stand at the forefront of the nation. and are. constructive in every sense of the word There is no greater political economist in the world than Woodrow Wilson. and William Jennings Bryan is an intel Iectual giant. a natural leader of men. and one of Gods noblemen. and the Democrats have both of these. truly a team that it is doubt full if they were ever equalled III the worlds history of politics
 These two great leaders will work well double. for each of them inoWs that their united efforts are needed and each of them places the welfare of the country above per 5onal gain or personal honor. The people will stay by these two men. md these two men will stay by the
 cople
 And besides those two great gen erals there is a complete set or lesser lights. who will willingly aud effectively carry out the program that will be arranged by those two men.
 The Congress will be Democratic in both branches, and the voice of lorcible language that there will be no faltering in their enaCting into .aw those measures that will make Tor the freedom of the individual rom the clutches of the trusts and mOnOpOleS. and restoring to the in diyidual those rights which belong to him by virtue of natural inherit anCe from the Creator of all things.
 We predict such change in the laws affecting personal rights as will bring an era of prosperity such as has never been dreamed of by man before the present day. We make the prediction because of hose two great and good men that re al the head. and because they have been so heartily endorsed by the people, that there will be no lack Of support by the people of he leaders.
 It may he truly said that Bryan, the Commoner. is the true represen- tatiye of the people. with his whole heart and soul in his work for them. Thus the people will always be truly represented i'll the great councils of tn" nation, and thus it may also be truly said that the newly-elected President of the United States. the greatest liy gle purpose in mind of restoring to the people their natural rights. will always be in conference with the great masses of the people through their real representative, the great Commoner.
 This is truly hopeful picture of the future of the people and of the Democratic party, and it spells dis aster to the old Republican party The Republican party will have 10 await a blunder of the Democratic party, and will have to build a new creed upon the mistakes of the present victors. Their old creed is now consigned to the grave. May if rest in npace"
