no matter what their past political differences If 1 tho they thoy are aro content to face the future and no longer to dwell among the dead Issues of the past Wo We propose to put forth a a. a

at Baltimore and scant indeed would bo be the use of ot exchanging the tho whips of Barn Barnes 8 Penrose and Gu Guggenheim Jm for the scorpions of or Murphy Tag Taggart art and Sullivan Sulvan Finally the Democratic platform not noton on only I shows an utter uter failure to understand understand under under- stand either present conditions or the means of making these conditions better better bet bet- ter but also a reckless willingness to tr try to attract various sections of the tho electorate b by making mutual mutually Incompatible promises which there thero Is not the slightest Intention of oC redeeming and which If It redeemed would result In sheer ruin seeing Far-seeing patriots should turn scornful scornfully from men who seek power on a platform which with wih exquisite nicety combines 51 silly Inability inability I ity to understand the tho notional national needs and dishonest Insincerity In promising conflicting and Impossible remedies If I this country countr Is really to go forward forward forward for for- ward along the path of or social and economic Justice there must be a new party part of wide nation wide naton-wide and sectional non non principles a
