"Nationally, tha Rispublica-ia wars dlaguated with what has boeoma known aa tha old goard—that ia, the remnant of tha Taft element In ths party.

Tha old guard began again to foal that It existed and raled by dhrine right. So, ths Republicans Just gars It another beating. It is really cruelty to animals, but tha old guard had as well understand, once for all, that It will ha beaten ovary time the people in the Republican party have a chance to beat K. "In North Carolina, tha Republican* xtruclc. The Taft element was in charge, bat they were never very handy at getting oat votes on elec tion day. The Roosereltiani just left them to their fate—and there were not enough of them to eonduet a respectable funeral. "The Republicans in North Carolina have not been pleased with either management or their nanagers for the past four years. They atruek and refueed to attend the state con vention In Winston this year, and then struck again on election day. They are tired of the old guard in North Carolina because It la tha old guard. They are tired and diaguated with the calibre of a great majority of thoee appointed to offtee In North cause they are tired and hsaanaa the old guard MkM tlM> tired. "TV Republican party, in both ■tate and nation, will rid itself of the old guard, or the people w(P rid thtnwlm of the Republican party. By thia. I do net mean that the Re publican party will hare to enbrut the radicalism of the west, but I do maan that the party will get rid of the staffed prophet* who have coun selled the course that hat driven the party dangerously Bear to the rocka. "Now don't imagine that I think the real Republicans are going to the Democratic party. Rather, De mocrats are coming out of that party, if they ran find a place to go. Tor jnstance. the Democrats of the south are 'dry' as a powder house (at least in profession); the north is aa 'wet' as the Atlantic. The north will shape the policy, write the platform and name the candidate in the next De mocrats convention. All three will be wet It will get mony votes. Bat how wijl the dry sooth look at HT Or will she reach her uanal state of normalcy and shot her eyes and vote anyway? Beaidee the wet and dry issue, there are many other things in the Democratic party In the north that can never be vary popular with Democrats in the south. "The troth ie. neither one of the parties stands any too well with the people Just now.
