The utterances of publc men are drawing a more distinct line| between the conservative and liberal schools of political thought, and this line runs directly through both major parties, not between them. Mr. Roosevelt and his followers have committed themselves to; policies which they hold to be in| the interest of “the common peo- ple,” and which are thoroughly repugnant to the other wing of! the Democratic party. { The break is so di that} Mr. Roosevelt hi of| those who oppose “the powers of gr emi- nent figure lired E.
