"During all its history, the' demo cratic party has denounced the lodge ment of undue power, in the govern ment, has opposed its logical outcome, the granting of special privileges in the levy of taxes, and has insisted up on economy in expenditure. Under these as guiding principles, it built upon its own organization and has only been able to maintain it by con stant devotion to them. In time they have become inalienable polficies and ingrained traditions. In or out of power, in nation or'state, in the do mands of its leaders, in the devotion of its rank and file, in war or peace, in its early or its later days, it has stooi for these thifs. "While this conscientious devotion to an idea has commended itself to the democrats of the whole country and has thus made and kept the party, rational, during recent yearq the peo ple of the south, without variableness or shadow of turning, have been its mainstay. Shirking no responsibility, seeking qo national rewards, promot ing no special interests or. movements, they have neither been truculent in victory nor discouraged in defeat. Going on in their way, regulating their own affairs, without hope of commanding subsidy, paying cheerful ly to carry ot policies in which they could biav no part, they have so im pressed,their time that the one special problem coming to thlem'from the past has been solved in such a way that the whole country has not only liieen fored to approve and applad but to imitate as the only way to deal with it.

But, if this course would give v 1 southern democrats the recognition t r they deserve, it will also put them up- o ' on their mettle. It will make it neces sary for them to insist upon devotion t0 ideas and principles; to avoid, as their character and traditions assure, extreme policies; to keep themselves thoroughly in touch with ill the ele ments to be found in a national and Sprogressive party; and to be ready e and willing to anticipate and promote h all the needs of a great country. The IT , contending ambitions of self-seekers; k the claims- of interests purely local, a the demands that grow out of popular o clamor, the shifty and shifting meth- tA ods of the demagogue and the agita- l tor-all these must be avoided, wheth- c er leadership comes from. north or V buth. cast or west.
