“ 'The- Democratic party is conducting
a direct attack upon the institutions of
our country. It advocates dishonest
money and threatens the integrity of the
judiciary.
“ The Republican party is conducting
an indirect attack upon the institutions
of our country. At home it corrupts the
public morals by selling public offices and
special privileges to the highest contribu
tors to party assets; abroad, it wages a
wicked war of conquest in violation of
the principles of the Declaration of in
dependence.
'No man serves well his country who
joins in cither of this' attacks. Party
to neither, therefore, but opponents to
both, we pledge our honest effor.s to the
following ends:

would be given promises of the Chinese
government until the demands that have

“We have made our demands on the
Chinese government,’’ said this official, “in
very definite language and in view of that
government’s persistent failure to meet
them, although certainly fully understand
ing them, mere promises vvll[ not now be
considered. Nothing, as I see U, will stop
the march of the belief force to Pekin ex

there. Unless they are put into our
hands immediately the allied forces will
continue on into the Chines© capital with
