"' ' '' ' - i r.
Editor' West Side Enterprise: -
Because' I-'-predicted ''carious
troubles during. Republican rule
the next four yeairs and that the
Democrats would likely rally under
inm new name: the Dallas editor
asBeirts'.I 'was a -ringleader, in in
the Democratic tarty of
. , o
Oregon ito adopt Populism and
that I am ready to adopt Socialism
or any other "ism" of discontent to
defeat ReDublicans. Now I plead
truilty to; favoring some Populist
principles,.but does that prove that
I am ready to adopt al other
'isms?'!. We refused to ; adopt
Trustism and Parkerism, hence
you see we do draw the line. But
t.n Ponollsm I remember , that
the Initiative and . Referendum
plank was the one that was so bit-
terlvODposed by the .Republicans
and they made all kinds of fun of
it. sBut what ringleaders had them
adopt it and even give us the law?
Would they not adopt all other
"isms'? too according to this logic?
Now as to the Democratic name T
will eay that I. will be found fight-
ine for Democratic principles and
if the Plutoorata steal the name
and still refuse the principles then
new name . will , do sae. : . There
vnnlil be no treason as I see it so
