PRESS COMMENTS

A Golden Chance for Democrats The outcome at Chicago has presented the Democratic party with opportunities and an opportunity. The opportunities are obvious. They are inherent in the Republican platform and candidate. Any party that reveals itself lacking in courage and vision lies open to a 4 successful attack animated by courage and vision. Any party that takes its stand on a platform of postponement and evasion has laid itself open to attack in-

spired by principle. Any party that has chosen a standard-bearer devoid of strength and color and thrill has patently invited the opposition party to put forward a candidate with blood In his veins. The Chicago platform with its straddle at best, with its separate clauses eating each other up at worst; the Republican candidate, colorless at best and reactionary at worst; the feeling of di .content within Republican ranks at Lest and the chances of active dissension at worst —these are some of the Democratic opportunities. — Philadelphia Ledger.
