This plan Of Chairman Christen-
sens is very good one indeed and
will result in better and more ac-
curate expression of the will of the
democratic voters of the state. The
interest In the democratic platform is
far greater than usual his year. for
the reason that many people feel this
Is democratic year; that the repub-
licans of this state will be so hope
lessly divided between the radical
and the reactionary wings, that the
people will look to the democratic
party for a progressive. yet safe and
sane program.
Furthermore, the &. o. p. candidate
for the presidency will in all proba-
bility be an extreme reactionary like
Wood, or Lowden, or Harding. or
someone else whom the Western pro-
gressives cannot support. This will
make democratic success in this state
all the more sure
