It is the party of stability, statesmanship and steadfastness.' It is' the party of sound money and safety. Mr. Hughes its present leader, is bold brainy, brave, brilliant and broadminded. He is calm, calculat- : ing,. cautious and capable. He is dig , nified and democratic He is liberal, liberty lovine. loyal and loeical. He is safe, sound, steadfast and states , manlike. He is patient, patriotic and practical. He is profound, prudent and progressive. - , The Democratic party is non-pro gressive party. It is the party of dis -aster, and danger. It is the party of insincerity and inconsistency. It is the party of inefficiency and ineptitu de. It ia the party of negation, non preparedness and nullification. It is the party of reaction and retrogres sion. It is the party of stagnation and starvation. ! . Its present titular head is egotisti cal and enigmatical.

He is too theoretical too psychological, tallks too much, is too much of a note writer and is too proud to fight. i JAMES C. JENKINS New York, Aug. 27, 1916. The members of Mt.

The house leaders object, however, to the word "wage" before commission and pro pose to call it simply "a commission."
