Those who have almost wrecked
the Democratic party in National
affairs are opposed to "reorganizl-
ton. because it would wrest from
them the power which they enjoy as
leaders. Leaders who fail to lead to
victory usually pay the penalty OF
their bad generalship by being re-
duced to the ranks or at least to
subordinate places. If the body Of
the Democratic party of this coun-
try has not realized yet the stagger-
ing effect of the blow received in the
recent presidential election and still
clings % those whose bad policies and
false boast led to such disastrous de
feat, DEFEAT will come again and
again until Cancellation of those who
have been abused in the party by
the Wilson crowd and recognition of
the leaders whom they discOunte-
nanced and whose valuable services
the party suffer the lack of in the
battle just closed. No talk about
"siackers'' viii help the cause. We
