resident Of Coalgate, wants still an
other State Normal School this

part responsible for a bill to appro-

pose. This is about the most brazen
example of ''pie-counter" politics

Joe Bailey Of Texas Is credited
with the statement that the Demo-
ctatic party is drifting-pulling in
the wrong direction-getting away
from the principles that form the
foundation of the party. Bailey Is
right, and he is wrong. There are
certain Democratic officials, in the
states ard In the Nation. whose acts
are un-Democratic and some ev-
IN bordering on Bolshevism--and in
that Bailey is right. Can we. though,
charge up to the party the overt acts
OF the occasional extremist who
chances into power and uses his pow
er wrongly? One cant judge parties
or principles or religion by extreme
cases. To be fair, one must take
the general average Bailey isn't
fair about It.

The fellow who would discredit
the Democratic party because of the
occasional extremist, is a parallel to
that other fellow who condemns the
