Lines Becoming Clear"

Fortunately the lines of this cam
paign have recently been becoming
very clear indeed. The choice is a very
definite one, which does not require
any subtle analysis for its determine
ton. On the one hand there is a party
which is united, made up of congenial
elements, and which has determined
its direction by its performances and
not by its promises. You know what
the democratic party has accomplished.
You know that it neither can turn
back nor desires to turn back. You
know that it is united as never united
before, and you know that there is
no conflict of counsel within its ranks.
You have a compact and. therefore, ir-
resistible force to accomplish some
thing in particular.
Some very Interesting things have
happened in the democratic party in
the last three years and a half. When
l went to Washington l went with
certain men in my mind who had long
been influential in the counsels of Con-
gress who, / was told, We're reac-
tionaries, men, l mean, in the demo-
cratic ranks And ] want to say for
these men that no wheel horse in har-
ness ever pulled harder than they did
