Aont Moore at Woimar. He enys that on
Marclm 14 time economic committee of time
imperial rteiciistag decided to bring in the
foliowimig resolutIon :
"Time Roicimatig declares that international
bimnotaliism bout anmverv tIme interests of

ermmmnents ( German mutates ) to do au that is in
their luwem J order to establish and secure
by lmmternatiunal commvontlon a fIxed proportiomm
of value betu'een sliver arid gold. "
Mr. Moore explains that thin economic
committee is not a branch of the regular organizations -
ganizations of time imperial Reichotag. but
a self-constructed conmmittce withm a jerma-
nent orgammization COmUp000d largely of mcm-
beru of time agrarian party. and It is in the
rauiks of this party that binietaliisni timmd Its

He declines to participate in a contest for

Kansas City Star ( md. dem. ) : Mr. Car-

it sounds the keynote of time coming campaign -

questions to be dctermniimed by time issue of

time monetary system of time country and time
character and amount of taxation to be imposed -
posed upon our citizens , " and unless time p1st-
form of time Chicago convention is clear
and sound on these questions time personality -
ality of the ticket viiI be of little conse-
quence. The fact that Mr. Carlisle's
course exemplifies the highest standard of
wisdom and integrity in timeos respects points

John G. Carlisle cannot by any posslbiiity be

Chicago TrIbune ( rep. ) : The question before -

aide time majority wili be hmodoes not know-
no one can tell as yet-but lie wisimos it to
be distinctly understood timat lie waimts no
nomination at its hands if time majority is on
time wrong side. So before ho can be a
candidate Imo desires to see time declaration
of principles of the democracy. If it is a
satisfactory one and the convention makes
him Its nomInee timero is no reason to doubt
hmo sviil accept. But he says in substance to
time democrats : "Lot us settle on our prin-
cipies before we aeiect our candidates. " Mr.
Carlisle is right. Tim parties have to make
timelr choice this summer between lmommesty
and dishonesty. It they decide wrongly it is
a matter of little consequence about their
