THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GET
TING TOGETHER

1t is with more than ordinary pleas
ure that we transfer to our columns
the article entitled, Confidence in
Wilson" 1t is written by Savoyard,
one of the most reputable of our
southern Washington cores spondents.
1t may De remembered that we
wrote an editorial not a great while
ago in which we said that the late
Chas. A Dana, editor of the New York
Sun, gave the democratic party the
best advice ever given TO it and it
was condensed into two words. Those
words were these: Get together"
Well, it has about at last taken Mr..
Dana's advice.
When that advice was given, Mr..
Wilson was ''goldbCg." desiring
nothing better than 10 knock Mr. Br.
an into a cooked hat" Mr.. Bryan
was a silver bug" and called Mr..
Woodrow Wilson's place of residence
''the enemy's country"
Those two gentlemen have now
col..r together, and are as thick as
two peas in the same pod.
Why cannot the whole democratic
party do as they have done?
1t is a mistake to say that Mr.. Viii
son has gone over to Mr.. Bryan or
that Mr.. Bryan has gone over to Mr..
Wilson
The two have mutually gone in the
direction of each other and have met
on halfway ground.
We hear nothing now of 1.-The free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is TO
l." We hear nothing about "impe-
rialism" being the paramount issue.
We hear nothing of ''the govern
ment ownership of railroads" These
issues have passed. and new ones
have taken their places, and it is
nothing to Mr. Bryan's discredit to
say that they have lost their hold on
the public ear.
IU6 democrats nave come together
on the tariff issue, AMI it has been set
tied. They have come together al
most as a unit on the currency issue,
and the democrats, almost ID j.? man,
are holding up President Wilson's
hands in his Mexican problem.
So if the democrats in the United
States senate and in the congress of
the United States can "'get together"
why the necessity of factional poll
tics in the democratic party in Flor
ida or elsewhere? There is no possi-
BILE excuse for factionalism any long
er, and the democrat that strives to
keep the party divided is an enemy to
it, and does so because he has an axe
tc grind, and thinks that the OILY
way to grind it is to muddy the water
and float to the surface on the foam.

The newspapers are becoming pay
ing properties This is because the
population of the state is becoming
denser. II Ocala had $4,000 instead of
G.000 population the newspapers here
with the same eXpditure of energy
would be making dollars where they
are now making dimes. 1t is for this
reason that we are clamoring for a
greater population. AS it will help the
newspapers it will help all the other
trades and professions. That the
newspapers are beginning to feel
this impulse of a greater population
Is indicated by the number of news
papers changing hands and others be-
ing established. II has not been very
long since the Jacksonville Metropo-
lis changed ownerships. and soon a
new afternoon paper is TO be started
in Jacksonville. The Pensacola News
has also undergone a change of pro-
prietors and the Deep Water" city
and is anticipating a great future.
The Tarpon Springs Hearald has
changed proprietorship as has like
wise the Fort Myers Press. We hope
that the introduction of this new
blood into the newspaper field will
have a stimulating and inspiring ef-
