Letters from the People
A. F. Waldbillig, Albany, N. Y.
Enclosed find clipping from the
Times-Union which might interest
you, and according to the doings in
congress there will be no chance
whatever for tho democratic party to
win as long as we have so many
Judases in the party. The socialist
party is the only party to hope for
tho liberation of the people.
John Speed, Washington, D. C.
Whatever merit a democratic plat
form may hereafter possess, or how
ever faithfully it would be carried
out should the party be given the
power to enact legislation comport
ing, therewith, It will be held up to
ridiculo with telling effect by re
publican speakers and writers and
not without ample reason. The
stronger ito "planks,' the greater
its Insincerity will appear. An hon
eBt man, even though misguided, al
ways commands respect; but an in
sincere man, however brilliant, is
hopelessly handicapped Jn an effort
to gain the confidence of his fellow
men. The same Is true with politi
cal parties.
So long as those "representa
tives" aro in congress or are permit
ted to participate in the party's
councils, the democratic party will
be struggling under a burden which
it can not successfully bear. What
assurance to the country can it offer,
under such circumstances, that its
ante-election declarations are more
than idle promises designed alone
to Influence votes? What well in
formed voter will regard such ap
peals as anything but an insult to
his intelligence? And, without a
declaration of nrinclDles a state
ment of Intentions just prior to a
national election, what a sorry spec
tacle a' party would present through
out the campaign, and what a crush
ing defeat it would suffer at the
polls!
It Is noted that one of the sen
ators now presumes to ridicule
the argument that platforms are
binding, and In the same breath.
with apparent pride, claims the au
thorship of the 1896 democratic
platform. Could anything be more
inconsistent? An honorable and
consistent senator would have re
signed his commission rather than
repudiate his party's platform in
such an emphatic manner, even in
a less crucial period of that party's
career.
The proper course to pursue, and
the only one that can be followed
with reasonable hope of success, in
the effort to relieve -the demo
cratic party of this stigma which has
been thrust upon it In such a cow
ardly manner, Is for the rank and
file to take the matter in hand and
retire tho traitors do it with the
minimum delay and maximum em
phasis. Until those men cease to be
actively identified with the party,
every democratic paper in the land
should publish their names, as voters
for a duty on lumber, In. parallel
columns witn that portion of the
Denver platform which was thus so
ruthlessly violated by them. All
honor to the republican "insurgents"
in congress who, voted for free lum
ber; in doing so "thpy are under
stood to have transgressed no specific
promise.
they do not deny, or in any senso
undertake to defend themselves
against the arraignment. This is a
virtual admission of guilt. On this
admission they will most certainly
have to face trial at the bar of public
opinion in their respective bailiwicks.
They may then realize that what Mr.
Bryan said in criticism of their un
democratic conduct had grave con
cern for them. For, if there be left
the spirit of true democracy amongst
those constituencies there will be
merited punishment meted out to tho
recreants, or as one addicted to
using strong language might say 1
the traitors who sold out their party
principle for a mess of pottage
without even getting the pottage, at
least, not so as to be seen eating
it. If the democratic party is to
live, because it is democratic in its
exemplification of economic, politi
cal and governmental principles,
there must inevitably be a reforma
tion of the party by an expulsion
from its councils of those who sup
port republican policies and repub
lican politicians.
H. H. Hughes, Springfield, Mo.
Apropos of your article on the eigh
teen democratic votes against free
iron ore, or rather for a 25 per cent
duty on iron ore importations, I beg
to enclose an editorial from the Sat
urday Evening Post of June 12,
1909. All the democrats with

The first bottlo will benefit, if not,
tho druggist will return your money.
John Aubrey Jones, Fruitvale,
Calif. Some of the democrat-republican
senators; replying to Mr, Bry
an's arraignment of them for hav
ing stultified themselves, betrayed
their constituents and ' compromised
the democratic party by their votes
in favor of , tariff on lumber and
iron ore, retort by saying that what
Mr. Bryan says in criticism of them
does not concern them' a whit.' But
