National Committeeman
Reports Sentiment Of the Country
az Opposed to a Return Of
Republican Rule.

Fred B. Lynch, Democratic national
committeeman from Minnesota, was
II washington recently, and was
tackled for a talk on the political stu
alton by the Stars correspondent.
i see that the bankrupt proprietors
OF the Republican party have been
holding some creditors meetings down
nere.' said Mr.. Lynch. referring to the
recent conference of several of the
Dig leaders among the Republicans.
i am not much in favor of talking
or thinking politics these days. 1t is
not quite fair to our Republican OPP
ponents to take advantage of them, al
though they were never specially ten
del toward us when we we're at a dis
advantage. Out West pretty nearly
all sensible folk are now for Presi.
dent Wilson. l do not mean that
everyone is going to vote for him. but
the solid and substantial character Of
MS administration has won the con-
ndence and respect of the country.
Regardless Of politics, the people
are glad that at a time like this we
have a man of the Wilson strength
n type in the White House. Even
those who do not wholly agree with
him feel that he will not make any
serious mistakes. and that his wisdom
and courage will work for the best
interests of the nation.

advantage of this great popularity
anu confidence. Let the results in a
partisan way be what they may. The
discredited Republican ex-leaders are
holding a sort of a creditors meeting
in the interest of a bankrupt political
institution.
Crane, Penrose, Barnes & Co. have
about as much to do with current
political affairs as Roosevelt, Perkins
Plnchot & Co. BOrah as manager oil
the old outfit is about as effective as
Beveridge as liquidator of the defunct
Progressives. To make a new ant
fighting political organization out Of
the two old crowds is about as sensi
BILE as trying to form a political part
nership between Charles Murphy ant
Jane Adams.
What the old crowd needs is not
reactionary strong enough to reorgan
lie. but a receiver with authority II
handle the assets and liabilities.
. These old leaders don't fool AM
body. They are copies of Republican
. leaders Of the old Hanna-Quay type
They are trying to figure out som

hcan manufacturers. They want tn
old victims Of Republican methods

cannot convince the manufacturer
that they can reform the tariff wit
a Republican senate when there is n
