aenaiorship at Louisville recently. Gov.
Wilson said in part
~The votes against the Democratic
party n 1912 were 1.s6o.9e1 more
than those for 1t. bet the Republican
family quarrel split the majority vote.
There were two sides to the quarrel
and It win do no good to blame either
side. There were splendid Republic
ans on both sides Of the split, but they
we're and are Republicans.
Il realize how little any one man
can do. but each must do ali that he
can, and 90 say earnestly that the
Republican party-our seven millions
Of Republicans 90 lately divided-are
stilI against the Democratic party, its
rule and it's theories Of government;
that they are still In the majority.
that they are still Republicans in prin-
eiplc. and that the division was not
on principle.
1T is sure that the Democratic par.

Try but for the Republican split. and

tinue to rule this country for two
years and ave months more Of Wood,
