was inevitable. =.
It had not been for these tempe
rarx transient, and now departed re-
Inducements, the Democratic party
would have been the third party in
the popular vote Of the country.
There was absolutely no organiza-
ton Of the Democratic voters IN
1912.
None was needed to win. Victory
vas decraed from the hour the Res
publican party split in Chicago.
The lesson, however, of Democratic
DISCRIMINATION and Democratic loss
of voters was revealed in the returns
Of the election In November, 1912,
and II is poor politician Of any
party who does not learn from It the
weakness OF t5e>st-ick party vote OF
that year.
The Republican recruits of 1919
have, in nearly every instance, de-
parted from the Democratic camp.
while the real Democratic voters are
alienated, disappointed, dissatisfied.
The Democratic forces today in
nearly every county, district and
state are Totally demoralized.
The rank and file have always been
proud OF their leaders keeping faith
with the people as to platform
pledges and campaign promises, and
they can no longer retain that pride
or point with pleasure to the record
which Is now black with reputation
OF the platform pledge and the stains
OF broken promises.
The platform pledges and the
candidates promises are all that the
voters of the Union have offered by
any political party; when those
pledges are worthless and the prom
ises valueleas. candidates Of the
party have little reason to expect
either popular support or popular ap-
prevail.
There Is firmly grounded moral
sentiment in the voters Of the United
States which is in revolt at the re-
cent blows to political morals and
national honor.
It is reported in California. in
Colorado, in Louisiana. in Indiana,
in Pennsylvania, in Nss1 jersey. In
Massachusetts, now, and next Novem-
Der will bring news Of 1t in every dis
trict and every state Of the Union,
The Democratic line OF voters is
much thinner than twas in 1912.
Hope and confidence have little
part in the Democratic campaign OF
this year.
1t viii be defensive campaign
from start to finish with every DEM
ocratic candidate.
Neither the good crops nor the
distribution Of patronage will bring
strength to the senator's and repre-
sentatives who have to face the
voters who apologize for their own
or the administrations violations of
platform pledges and promises.

ANNEX THAT STRIP EVANSTON
GAVE US.

The district south Of Calvary and
between the Northwestern Railway
tracks and the lake, about 80 acres
has been given to Chicago by the City
Council Of Evanston. Our City Coun.
Gil should accept It at once by the
necessary two-thirds vote and see that
It is given police and fire protection.
The people in this strip now labor
under great disadvantages.
They are obliged to pay 1O-cent
telephone toll because the city has
not accepted them as Its citizens.
Their children are obliged to walk
mile and half to an Evanston
school and they have other great dis.
advantages which can be overcome by
the passage Of the accepting ordinance
by the Chicago City Council.
There should be no farther delay in
this matter.
There has been too much delay
already.

PRACTICAL CHARITY.

\ further and important step toward
the relief OF the condition of Chi
Cages poor was taken In an announce.
ment made by Mr.. Fred w. Upham,
president of the Consumers Company.
In accordance with the usual prac.
tice of this company, Mr. Upham an.
nounced that free coal would be dis
rributed throughout the winter TO Chi.
Cages deserving poor, just as free ice
was distributed during the torrid
weather OF last summer.
The plan OF distribution Is the same
as used heretofore; certificates will be
Issued by ministers, priests, rabbis,
newspapers and the various charitable
and religious organizations Of the city
emitting the bearer 10 30 pounds Of
coal when presented at any OF the
company's city yards.
The offer OF the Consumers Com
pany was made earlier than usual this
year in answer TO the insistent de-
mand made upon the company by
various eleemOsynary organizations
From all sides eager cooperation has
been given the Consumers Company
by Chicago's charitable bodies and
women's clubs so that every part OF
the city is dotted with stations where
Chicago's destitute poor can obtain
these certificates.
Prompted by the knowledge that
hundreds Of poor families will suffer
for want OF fuel during the winter, the
Consumers Company sets no limit on
the total amount OF coal 10 be given
away and will supply all families over
longer period OF time than the 30
pounds will last, then a second GER
tificate and as many more as are
necessary will be given. Danger OF
duplication in the issuance OF Ger.
tificates will be avoided by the use OF
clearing house system of passing
upon application.
There are no strings TO the offer"
