I honor the courage and respect the wisdom which have moved him to clean house in his own party. “The Democratic party, as it is, has suffered succesive defeats and dis- asters in appeals to the people, be- cause it has ceased to be democratic,” sald Dial. ~ sheep gone astray, we have forgotten and neglected the principles and purposes on which our party was founded. “It is time for us Derocrats to face the music.
