OPTIMISTIC OVER
OUTLOOK FOR THE
DEMOCRAT PARTY
Homer S. CumminS Returns
to Washington With Good
Reports From Indiana.
BY JOHN CARSON.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Ho-

honal chairman. returned 10 Wash

optimistic for the future OF the

protest.
Almost al the same time that Mt.
Cusumins returned with his word Of
cheer. there came a report from a
Washington correspondent for many
papers. He insisted that no one
was discussing democracy. and that
the party was about as extinct in
Indiana as is ALERT j. Beveridge.
Reason For Both Views.

there was reason for both views.
though II appears almost paradox.
sal IN this instance TO say that both
men were right. The newspaper
correspondent evidently got the
same surface Impressions which are
brought TO Washington by The aver

power OF the Goodrich-Hays ma
chine and who hears now only the
protest of those persons who have
some grievance growing out Of the

Mr.. Cummings obtained another
impression and he got IT from the
activity of the democratic organiza-
ton. He knows now hat the dem
ocratic party in the state is alive
and that out OF the last defeat there

conservative policies OF the republi-
can party and the ultra-radical pol
icies Of the other parties.
More Democratic Than Republican
Sometimes. one is almost led TO
believe that William Howard Taft is
more Of a democrat than "a republi-
can. The former president after his
experiences on the war labor board,
announced that labor and capital
must find q common ground for CO.
operation and that the employing
class must forget its policy of isola-
ton and antagonism for the en-
ployes. for labor and even for or
Canized labor. This declaration vas
made this week in an article written
FOR eastern papers by Mr.. Taft and
published under his name. Wood
row wilson's name would nave been
written above hat article and II
would not have sounded strange.
sen. Kenyon's name could have been
written above il. But could any
one conceive OF the name Of Pen
rose above IL? And If Will Hays
goes on IN his present program,
could anyone conceive Of his name
being above il.
These ire reasons why Mr.. Cum
mings is optimistic Of the future.
lie knows that when the war story
is related by soldiers and historians,
there will be a record which will not
perish. He knows that when Will
sonian policies are reviewed in the
future, there will be a record for
humanitarian legislation which Will
not perish. He knows that in In
diana there is a lighting democratic
organization which is determined
that the people shall know the truth.

Is IL not strange that only one
man on the republican side of the
senate has as yet declared for a
party program IN the next congress
which shall consider TIE man first
and the dollar next? And is IL not
strange also-that though this nan
$ generally conceded 70 be one Of
the finest men in the senate and
that he is one OF the oldest mem
ocrs-that he is almost ignored BY
the republicans and thai when Mr..
Hays 10 Washington you
never hear Of MIN spending hours
with sen. Kenyon, of Iowa an i
that you hear every day OF his con-
ferences with Penrose? Is il not
strange there has come no response
from Hays to the suggestion of Ken

and the farmer 20 own his farm
to prevent the employment Of chill
rem in factories and TO reduce the
hours of labor for women and thai
the party shall forget its old worn
out battle slogans and shall go to
the people on d real platform of
legislation sincerely IN the interest
of all the people?
HAYS Again Silent.
Hays also has not responded pub
licly at least TO the suggestion Of
Sen. Norris of Nebraska that the
party shall make one of its achieve
Inents of the next a reve-
nue. measure which shall make the
wealthy pay the burden of the war.
Pres't Wilson wrote his admins
trations INTO history with a party
program such as Kenyon advocates.
They called him visionary then
now as b~olshevism sweeps through
Europe, even some of the old en-
ploying class admit he was a man
with a vision which has come true.
And just recently some of these same
men, republicans of the past, re-
turned from Europe and announced
in an official report that the Wilson
democratic theory of meeting the
worker half way and cooperating
with him was the correct solution Of
the economic troubles of the world
and the real attitude for bolshev-
ism. As Mr.. Cummings says, the
business man is coming 10 recognize

hat the party IS a party now with

speaking the voice of Penrose in the
senate, has sacrificed any ideals the
party may have had in order that
votes might be had in 1920. He
cannot see that the policies which
Penrose espouse have not been sue

rose leads. He will not admit the

The republican party today under

party without a soul and the word

hear from the republicans how
Hays cares nothing for expenditures
of money in the interest of the party

reputation somewhat similar TO that
which he had as the chief of the
