of Washington, Ohio, Democrats of the Old
School of Jefferson, Madison and Monroe,
(supporters of Jackson and Van Burenl but
not of the modern order of progressive De-
mOcracy which would destroy the great and

shall not sell US slaves, for the advancement
of southern interests-nor transfer us like
stocks for the upholding Of party. In 1924
