Success of
Democratic Principles.

Former Governor Folk, of Missouri.
in a speech one day last week touched
upon the keynote OF the Democratic
situation as It Is today. 1t is the sue
cess Of Democratic principles and not
the advancement Of individuals, which
should be the ambition of every true
Democrat. He was referring to the
situation In Missouri with regard to
Champ Clark and. himself, but what
applies to Missouri applies to the ma
ticn. Mr.. Folk said:
The success of Democratic princi-
pies just now is more important than
the advancement of any individual.
Neither Mr.. Clark nor myself should
be considered, but the welfare Of the
party alone kept in view. II 1t is bet
ter. for the party. after accepting the
beaefit, to break the pledge made by
the last Democratic convention, Of
which Mr. Clark was a member and
temporary chairman, then let Il be
broken.
ct is simply question Of whether
the party would be in a better posi-
ton before the people with the pledge
kept or broken. II the pledge Is hon
shall not complain. but viii give my
best efforts TO the cause Of Democ-
racy and do my best to quiet dissatis-
faction.
II my friends control the delegation
and can not be nominated, II viii 90
to some progressive like woodrow
Wilson want my friends over the
state to cooperate with the friends ot
Governor Wilson and other progress
ives. The reactionaries viii unite on
one candidate and the progressiYes
should do the same thing
The opening and closing sentences
are the ones which should be needed
by the Democrats. If the Democrats

success is almost certain. and unless
the first one Is adhered to the Demo-
Gratis have no right to win.
If the success Of Democratic prin-
ciples and not the advancement Of any
individual" is what the Democrats
seek to attain. a progressive candi-
date VIII be nominated as the stand
ardbearer Of the party. Reactionary
methods are not Democratic principles
and majority Of the party feel and
virtually know that a man who does
not represent Democratic principles
cannot be as strong as one who is in
every way in sympathy with the rank
and file OF the party.
The reactionaries Of the party have
united on their man, and the time has
arrived when the progressives ought
to do the same thing. The time for
launching booms is past and there is
no reason for candidates who have
not ghost OF a chance Of securing
the nomination being doomed any
longer. Many OF them are good men
and worthy men, but 'the success oil
Democratic principles just now Is
more important than the advancement
of any individual"
To nominate a reactionary candi.
date as a Democratic standardbearel
would not only mean suicide for tho
party but would be sacrificing Demo
cratic principles. A majority rule 4.

fore. the progressives being in q ma.
jority. have a right TO name the mar
