A nations existence is inseparably
connected with the army. An army can
make or destroy a nation. If the army
possesses discipline the standard of ecu-
cation is necessarily high. But il the
army is composed of units banded to-
gether at random. then the very nean-
ing of the word education is not un =
stood No one recognizes mis- part and
lot in the country. neither does he realize
that the money for his pay is the peoples
life blood. Such an army will inevitably
disobey orders and prey upon its coun-
trymen. The principles of humanity are
then obliterated and opportunity is az
forded for foreign aggression"

curing such legislation as will restore to
our people the right of suffrage.
We appeal to the democratic conven-
ton to insert in their platform a plank
