Well the common and garden vari-
/ ETY. of democrat can now go fishing
He needn't pay any more attention TO
politics until It's time for him to vote.
Ed Meredith's stand before the con-
ference who came offering him the
crown was most manly and stamps him
with the hallmark of citizenship first
and party second. The state at large is
indebted to Meredith for reforming the
democratic party on lines of modern
citizenship.
Speaking of Meredith he seems to be
the democratic party this year. Com
parison is often embarrassing whether
odious or not, still it is impossible to
refrain from comparing Meredith be-
fore the democratic areopagus at Des
Moines and Meredith outlawed in the
Meredith Connolly campaign. How time
fugits and folks change.
If the democrats did much for them
selves SATURDAY. they also settled muddy
waters in the republican pond. 1t ought
to be clear to all the progressive voters
