country's needs in its efforts to readjust
itself to conditions which have grown out
OF the war, and which are essential to be

PARTY will appeal 10 the voters for their

For one thing, the convention will be
firm in support OF the administration in
the progressive policies for which it has
stood. both in its foreign and domestic un-
dertakings. and in so doing will cour-
ageously pick up the challenge thrown down
by the Republican party in its reaction to
the discredited political system of the past
under whose pernicious working intrenched
privilege exploited the public at will. With
the stencil OF that system still fresh in the
nostrils of the people, the convention will

which, while holding true to Democratic
teachings OF the past as to the Limitations
upon the functioning of State and Federal
governments will yet courageously define
this authority in the light of its true in
tendment TO the changing conditions OF
modern progress. and proclaim policies
whose application to the needs Of present
