The cause of democracy was never
brighter. No president has proven
himself more capable of meeting
and solving great national and
international problems than has
our very own Woodrow VIII
son. He has proven himself a
leader worthy of his spurs. His own
great mind, coupled with that of the
secretary of state, has made leader
ship for the party that is almost un-
surpassed. With the adjustment of
financial and business conditions to
the new regime the future of the
democratic party grows brighter.
But the faces of the long time pie
eaters of the republican party grows
longer, and the noise of the calamity
howl they are making louder.
