The Political Mill
Proposed purge" of Democratic Party Is Meeting
With More and More Resistance in Ranks.

when 1t comes to 1910, when q new
presidential candidate is to be Sc

to block the nomination of Gov. Leh-

The President. however, is still
counting on what may be done to
improve conditions by the spending
of the $500, 900, 600 given him in the
relief-recovery appropriation bill
which he has just signed. He is
counting also on the billion and a half
dollars which the r. F. c. has been
authorized to lend for spending.
Not only may they improve business
conditions, but they may IMPROVE
political conditions from the presi-
Dental point of view. Indeed. the
President regards this golden shower
as pennies from Heaven"
Absolving the President from any
idea Of the use of this relief money for
political purposes, there is plenty of
reason to believe that lesser politicians
have had very distinct idea of what
may be done with these billions Of
dollars both in primary and general
elections this year. Hundreds OF
thousands of new workers will be
placed on the w. P. A. rolls. 1t Is
a reasonable supposition that these
reliefers will vote with the hand that
feeds them and that they will not be

horizon. The Senate finally insisted

Keynote speech of Charles Saw

Declaring that he has not swerved
zone inch" from his primary views,
Charles Sawyer, Democratic candi-
date for governor, sounded the key
note of the fall campaign before
the Democratic state convention last
Thursday.
He charged that his Republican
opponent, whom he called ED
Schorr's candidate" is dominated
by the Republican chairman and
"dOes not make a move, does not
write a speech and does not decide
anything except under the dictation
of Mr.. Schorr.''
There has never been within our
history such quintessence of bossism
as has been exhibited by Mr.. Brick

The One True God, Exodus 20:2-
3; Isaiah 45:22; Mark 12:28-34; !
Corinthians S:4-6, for Sunday, Oct.
2:
The fact that God exists is the
greatest truth which one can know.
1t is the primary truth on which a
sound philosophy must be based.
V. q Il am the Lord thy God,
which have brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house Of
bondage" While we assume there
is a God there are many lines of rea-
soning to justify such an assump-
ton. A created universe calls for a
Creator; there can be no moral or
der without a moral being back of
it; since personality appears, the
best thing in the universe there
fore God must be personal else
he has given to creatures something
better than he himself possesses.
God is best revealed in His word.
1t was the burden of the Old Testa-
ment teaching that there is one God.
This fact was clearly demonstrated
in the marvellous deliverance of
Israel out of Egypt.
v. 8. "Thou shalt have no other
gods before me- Two gods would
make a conflicting religion. If God
is not supreme, he cannot reign IN
life.

bases his gospel on the fundamen-
tails of the Old Testament, one being
that fact of one God. All catch
questions and criticisms fail to
overthrow the great truths of God.
v. 80. "And thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength;
this is the first great command
ment." Here is put in concrete Ian
guage what is involved in the first
commandment. Here is the essence
of Christianity. 1t is the "all' that
makes the requirements supreme.
1t is not enough to love the Lord a
little.
v. 81. "And the second is like,
namely, this Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. There is no
other commandment greater than
these" Here is the basis for the
social gospel. But first there is the
individual gospel of the preceding
verse. Here is the cure for war, the
principle of good government, the
policy for a happy community.
