Those who subscribe to the creed of
this association and make any claim
to sincerity can hardly excuse them
selves for lack of effort at a time when
the necessities of government, econo
mically administered, have but little
relation to the taxation of the people
and when extravagance in the public
service has become a contagious plague.
To those who hope for better
things, this convention of Democratic
clubs is a bright promise of reform.
Unorganized good intentions and idle
patriotic aspirations cannot success
fully contend for mastery with the
compact forces of private interest and
greed, nor is the organization always
the most useful which has 'the widest
extent. The real benefit of political
organization is found in its nearness
to the people and and in the direct
ness of its action. Of course harmony
and unity of purpose are absolutely es
sential. " In this view your, assembling to
gether is most important, in so far as.
it promotes this, harmony and unity
by conference and a consideration of
methods, and in so far as it inspires
that zeal and enthusiasm which wil;
make effective your work at home.
Therefore I am sure that I can say
nothing better in taking my leave of
you than to wish that your convention
may be a most profitable and encour
aging one, and that at its conclusion
you may resume your places in your
home organizations, newly inspired to.
determined and zealous effort in the
came of true Democracy."
