""FJaase don't apeak of politics,'; said Captain Samuel While, former democratic state chairman, to .the East Oregonlan last evening. "Don't speak of such' a sad affair, so soon after the disaster.

Bmt it is aal over now. The only thing for democrats to do la to or ranlae, concentrate, fortify and fight ag-hf, tight!, Xhere is hope every. where. I believe the principles of oemocracy are Indestructible and that It requires only proper unity and co- operatloa on the start of democrats to finally accomplish the high Ideals ahead of the party:. As long as a criminal trust exists In the country, fostered and made fat by levying tribute on the masses, with the co-operation of congress and courts, there is a burning mission for the democratic party. Aa long aa there is a dishonest official in the public service, there is a mission for the party, and we must not get sick at even a defeat of this magnitude. , "Four years from now . conditions will have changed, and democracy will have taken such advance steps, that success will come to It "The party has an underlying prin ciple, rooted deep in the foundations of freedom and Justice for the masses and cannot long be held down by the combined forces of public patronage 4 organised violation of the anti monopoly law.
