COMMENT ON LEGISLATURE
Many Democrats Express Fear That

journed there has been great deal
, of dismal comment on the result that
it win have upon the democratic party
in the coming elections. There are
those of the party who point to tho
gross production tax OF per cent
as certain to ALLEVIATE the votes and
, the much more important financial
support of the oil producers and the
oil communities. There are others
W ho point TO the attempt to establish
state coal mine as potential Of
driving away the votes Of organized
labor. Then the usury law that was
passed over the vigorous protest of
the bankers, the men who sometimes
admit that they represent the ruling
class in this democracy, is credited
with the power Of wrecking the party
that passed the bill.
Lieutenant Governor NJ. Il. Trap,
who is coming to be looked upon as a
man with higher ambitions politically,
says that he deplores the alarm that
some democrats seem to have taken
in the premises.
This talk about republican victor

flag and bemoaning our impending
fate, | lose patience with them and
