So long as they could get what they wanted from Republicans, they con tinued In th Democratic ranks. They will bolt any organised attempt to re- duo tariff on their Interests. The result will be that the Democrat will do nothing they promise, and the new Republican party will sweep Into power. Roosevelt wlU be the leader of the movement and Taft th standard-bearer."
