PULSE OF

APPRAIsEs CAMPAIGN


Editor The Times: The appeal
Of National Chairman Flynn to
Democrats 10 be loyal 70 their
party in the 1910 campaign
was almost pathetic. While he
had the words of optimism and
victory. he had the tone and
apathy Of fear and uncertainty.
This is understandable when the
situation is appraised calmly.
Somehow out Of the confusion
Of issues and ideas an impulse,
a sentiment developed and crys-
talized that disarranged and
disintegrated party politics and
swept aside factions. groups.
even strong leaders. and forced
nominations of candidates from
opposing parties and formed
new alignment 50 that If one
was to be in the procession he
might even have to face about
and march in the opposite direc-
ton. No one person or group
is wholly responsible. and no
combinations Of persons or
groups seem able to resist il
How long this sentiment will
last and how il viii affect party
organizations in the future is
very uncertain While IL is domi-
nsnt there is a chance for any
strong individual with color and
capacity to win even though he
has switched parties recently.
Truly. this is an unpleasant situ-
alton for the loyal partisan who
has fought, bled and died in the
lean years when there were no
patronage or perquisites TO dis
tribute and when he kept his
party alive by his contributions
Of services and money. Such pa
triots win have 70 solace them
selves with the satisfaction Of
having been good citizens and
Of having earned recognition

win the battles. though the pri-
Yates fight them. and the pitch
er wins the game though the
other eight men hand il 70 him
