Show WHY THIS INSURGENCY, j Wllea asked what is "insurgency," Judcon C. Welliver says it Is not partisan bat a revolt for better government which has made Itself felt In both parties. Ho say3 you will see that it is as much Democratic as Republican. "Texas, torn by Bailey and anti-Bailey rnctionists; Florida, with Bower and Taliaferro fighting for control; con-trol; Tennessee, with party lines destroyed in the contest for and against the Pattorson machine all these tell the story of the same Inspiration and purpose that have produced Cummins and Dolliver In Iowa, Bristow in Kansas, Foss in Massachusetts, LaFollette in Wisconsin and Boveridge in Indiana.. No, insurgency is not a party affair. It is a national arousal of conscience. It is the world-old fight of the Many for an even chance with the Few." No doubt both parties aro in need of a house cleaning. The party that first does the purifying will win the confidence and the abiding faith of the American people. That is why the well-wishers of the Republican party are urging that their party be first to set itself in order to win and hold the esteem of the citizens of this country. |
