greatest number will not always be
en- the same side. But there are and
will be just two sides of all great ques-
tons on which people divide in party
lines.
1T necessarily follows-and we may
safely lay it down as basic prin-
ciple-that those who are interested in
the success of any given issue can
best succeed by uniting in support OF
that issue. To justify division of its
supporters some real substantial rea-
son should be given Otherwise men
only dissipate their strength to no
purpose.
Where We Stand.
Staring out with this principle let
us see where we stand and what ought
to be accomplished. Let us address
our arguments to those who wish to
do only what is best for the State and
the nation--because both are involved
in our State campaigns. 1t is useless
to address such arguments to those
who are determined to have third
party at any cost. They are determin-
ed, and if in their judgment the Gre
alton of one party or the defeat OF
another is moer important that the
success or failure of a political prln-
ciple, they have a right in a free coun-
try to such judgment. Their reasons
are fair matter of analysis, because 1t
is fair to see how far they are can
did, convincing and disinterested. But
every man has a right to his opinion.

tions is the Democratic party. united ex-
