WASHINGTON harmony bloc
in the democratic party has been
gradually gaining strength since the
whole party woke up with a bad
headache in November, 1924, and real
lied the seriousness of the after-ef-
fects of it's orgy of strife in Madison
Square Garden.
The harmony bloc is likely to domi-
nate the Houston conversion. 1t may
even show such strength as to make
the hell-raising bloc in the party look
sick and silly Or, as some bitter-end
members of the heu-raising bloc in
sist, the worst internal struggle of the
party's history may lie ahead. But
the harmony bloc has program of
logic and common sense to which most
of the biggest men in the party have
subscribed, and it will take more than
Tom Heflin to upset it.
Senator Pat Harrison, the great
orator from MiSsisSip' who made such
a SWell-elegant keynote speech to the
1924 convention only to see his good
work go for naught as Smith and
McAdoo attacked each other, outlined
this harmony bloc program by request
of this writer. 1t may be summed up
by the question: If the republicans
can bury their numerous factional diff
ferences at convention time for the
"spoils of office" why can't the demo-
Gratis use their heads and do as much
for the good of both the party and
the nation?
IF the democrats will 'just profit
by the mistakes they made in 1924"
said Senator Pat, "and will eliminate
those matters about which there is
always a difference of opinion which
divides parties; if they will agree on
the principles and policies upon which
the party was founded and to which
it has always adhered. we will be in
a most advantageous position to go
before the country in the coming

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
AS my work in your city is closing,
I must express to you my gratitude
for the generous fashion in which you
have treated me. Your liberal space
giving unbiased daily reports of my
meetings and your several fine edi-
torials show that the press is on the
side of righteousness -and your paper
is in line with the general trend of
American newspapers in this direc-
tien. I have found it impossible to
accomplish anything in community
whose press is unfriendly to religion
Your reports have been devoid of
sensationalism and have, therefore,
exactly represented my addresses from
day to day. Your paper has helped
me to succeed in Douglas and I want
to let you know that I feel you
deserve your share of praise for this
success. have SO stated this from
my platform.
They may or may not be prouS OF
their achievement, Mr.. F;Stor, but
the newspapers have made me. I
wish all of the papers had the ideals
of the Douglas Daily Dispatch. We
would have a better America.
Wishing you and your publisher
and the entire staff every goAi thing
and lots of it, I am gratefully yours,

campaign.
''The emocrats must exercise
enough common sense to refuse to
accept those controversial differences
which the republican party always
shuns but is ever alert and smart
enough to hand to us. Then we can
present united front.
"If we can't do that, we might as
well break up the two big parties and
form them along new lines. But the
democratic party has too great mis-
sion to allow itself to be swerved from
its course through minor differences.
1t is the only interest through and by
which the rank and file of the Ameri-
can people-and sthat includes the
laboring man, the farmer, the clerk
and the honest business man-can get
a square deal. The republican party,
with its special treatment for special
interests, its favoritism to certain
classes and its subsidies and protec-
tive tariff make the road for the aver
age man and women rough and almost
impossible to travel
Corruption in office and stacking
of the federal commissions with per-
sons to carry out the dictates of dis
honest big business is now synonymou
with republicanism. These abuses are
the barnacles now intesting this gov
ernment and become more apparent
the longer that party stays in con-
troll
"It is against these abuses, iniquities
and injuStices that the principles of
democracy have always been opposed,
and it is those principles of honesty
and decency to which democrats can
subscribe and unite upon. In the
coming fight. democracy should dedi-
cate itself to removing these condi-
tionS, steering clear of other ques-
tions upon which all democrats can
not agree and which inevitably lead to
disruption"

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A FLICKER OF HOPE

I'm always, confess, a trifle fluttered
! And look with some regret upon my
past
When now and then dark prophecies
are uttered
About the time this planets due
to last.
The latest seer to publish such a
With apprehensive sweat bedews my
brow;
He says the world is going to end
| some morning
! Approximately seven years from
now.
II this is true I think I'd change
/ my system;
Temptations oft have becxoned me
to stray
But UP to date I've managed TO resist
'em
And logged along in just the same
old way.
From straight and narrow ways I've
seldom wandered
In futile foolish pleasures to engage,
The pennies I have earned haven't
squandered
But saved them 'sternly for ling
ering age.
But if this rolling orb is bound to
perish
And with it all humanity so soon
Why strive SO hard my little store
to cherish
Why not make life one breezy lazzy
tune?
If we are speeding swiftly to our
ending
What harm to make our closing
years sublime?
Why not step out and have a go at
spending
And give ourselves a whaling, bEaz.
ing time?
If I were sure there would be no
poStponement,
And that but seven years the world
would last
I'd spend 'em all In one long wild
atonement
For all my craven caution in the
past.
I'd have the fun I think that I
deserve to,
Those seven years would be one
grand sweet song,
But what's the use-I'n never have
the nerve to
The chances are the seer has doped
it wrong!
