President Wilson Indianapolis speech
will not down. He has reused the Repub-
licans in Congress to active resistance to
his policies and Senator Borah has ftly
voiced their Indignation at his unwar-
Ganted and undignifed aspersions up
on their party. That, of course, does
not disturb the Democrats, although the
far-seeing realize that it must operate
against them, and it has already trigged
the wheels of legislation. They are,
however, indignant on their own account
at the assumption of the President that
Congress must follow blindly whatever
policy he chooses to dictate, or incur his
displeasure; and this has led to the SEN
ate holding up his nominations and
threatens to defeat his shipping bill,
which deserves to be defeated on its de-
merits. No party can succeed in this
country which has the monied and bust
ness interests against it, and the Wilson
policies are fast arraying them against
the Democratic party.
