DEMOCRACY VS.. DICTATORSHIP

How much different the attitude of DEM
ocratS in convention this year as compared
to that of 1896, when they nominated Will
liam Jennings Bryan as the presidential can
didate. In that day the right of free speech
was respected and dictatorial attitudes were
not condoned in government nor conven-
ton.
The Democrats of that day adopted a
third-term declaration and included it in
their platform. 1t read as follows:
eve declare it to be the unwritten law
of this republic, established by custom and
usage of 100 years and sanctioned by the
examples of the greatest and wisest of those
who founded and have maintained our gov
eminent, that no man should be eligible for
third term of the presidential office"
Using the subterfuge of emergency, the
Democrats have shattered the third-term
tradition in their nomination, but, we firmly
believe that they will not be able to shatter
that tradition as far as the nation is con-
cerned. When the citizenry Of the nation
goes to the polls in November their answer
may be shot heard round the world.
The issue to be settled in November is
clear cut and clearly defined, and once and
for all we shall know whether a president
of the United States shall continue in office
for the balance of his life as dictator, or
whether as an American citizen, sworn to
IHe COIlSIlCuIlOI OI CHe lana, ana nOnOrlng lCS
traditions, he shall step aside to carry on the
tenets of democracy The issue as we see it,
is democracy VS.. dictatorship, and regardless
of any emergency should be set down as
threat to continued government as we know
it.
Since when have we reached the stage
where only one man is able to rule the ma
ton? Are we not different than the Ger
mans or Italians who bow to one lord, and
who have no way of dismissing them from
service? How did Hitler gain power in Ger
many? Because someone permitted him to.
In the United States that someone" must
be the people.
Every American is confronted with this
issue, and there will be no straddling of the
fence. Democracy can prevail regardless of
what fear-ridden persons or totalitarian in
clined peoples say. We can maintain our
traditions and continue with heritage
grander than any in the world, if we but wish
It, We can do that with efficiency and cour-
age, and at the same time prepare to defend
our shores against any invasion.
In this issue personal patronage and
political consideration should be forgotten.
If love of country and it's honorable traditions
stand for anything at all, we face no danger;
If they do not-then lights out for a black
out!

compete for the title that was won a
year ago by Herbert Thompson. Ben
