Show Tho Sunny South, or nt least a part of it, is tired of free trade, frco soup and free poverty. It sees that democracy has once more mndo n mess of trying to run the government, as witness this from a North Carollnn paper: "Tho bull mooscra aro not the only people returning to tho republican ranks, the greatest factor in the bound to como republican victory in 101G is going to be the votes of thousands of democrats who hnvo taken a solemn oath that they will never again voto tho democratic ticket. A great numy of them nre democrats who voted for McKinlcy, Roosevelt nnd Tnft rather than for Bryan and Parker, but in 1912 they were partially convinced that the democratic party was onco more right nnd that Wilson was the ideal democrat and it wns time for them to return to the party of their forefathers and resume making n cross under tho rooster. At tho same timo they promised themselves thnt if the democratic policies and principles were no more successful in 1913 and tho following years thnn they were back in 18915 nnd 1891, t wns tho last time they would vote tho democratic ticket. Now they aro out to keep that promiso mndc to themselves." |
