The efforts of the Kansas City Post for a conference of Democrats of the state this fall is meeting with much encouragement from all sections. That a conference of party workers for the purpose of bettering party conditions is advisable none will deny, provided that such a result will surely follow. The principle objec- tions so far offered, outside of a few freak letters stimulated by personal grouches, are that the feeling is so intense between the Folk men and old-line Democrats that a meeting would intensify the feeling and widen the breach. The great majority, however, take the broad and liberal view that every Democrat has a per- fect right to hold and express his preference of party men and policies, and with all having a chance to talk out, a common ground upon which all can stand could be found,-and much good be accomplished.
