 We are going to elect the ticket de- clared Senator John A. Lusk of Gunter- vile, which sentiment was echoed by the other delegates entirely. But it behooves every democrat and the whole party to lay aside all personal prejudioes and ex- pressions of dissatisfaction, and put their shoulder to the wheel and push tor a democratic victory in November"

Anc l because of these views, there was neces- sarily some disappointment both because | of some of the blanks in the platform and because of the standard bearers. A

 only the ideal running mate of Cox, bu | he would have been the best choice fo vice president if any of the other candi dates had won the nomination. As it is | the choice only insures strength to tn 1 ticket.
