The Husonian believes that all of

should be immediately put under Cul-

certainly a plain duty to^get the ad-

Perhaps both of them may be nomi-'

republican party, but tlie democracy
should follow the lead that was start-
ed in congress at the called session.
Messrs. Clark and coworkers did not

tions. The democrats put forward
measures in accordance with the dem-

Democracy means something. It has

follow religiously and they invite all
other partisans to see the light be

this country great-great for the rich
and the poor, for all who obey the
law and toil for sustenance. There
is no reason why this democratic par-
ty should bolster the cause o'r any
