"The recent elections then seem to
clearly demonstrate that the Demo-
cratic party has overshot the mark.
The grateful appreciation of the
masses has not manifested itself, for
the simple reason that the great bulk
of our population. especially of our
industrial population, arc not par
ticularly interested in abstract
theories of taxation, but are mainly
solicitious as to whether they have
steady employment; as to whether
their wages are reduced, either di-
rectly or by partial stoppage of
work; and, finally. as to whether the
cost of living is increased or dimin-
ished.
Upon these three factors depend
the votes of large portion OF our
American citizens. and any political
party which strikes at these basic and
not unnatural demands. as the Demo-
Gratis have done, must expect to take
the consequences. They have heard
from the voters at the recent election
and they will hear from them again
and much more emphatically in 1916.
