ties in nullifying the action of the

tlon of the champagne districts which
would permit wine made in any dis
trict to be labelled champagne and
the expressed intention of Premier
Monis to refer the whole qeustlon to
the council of state for settlement,
served to a large extent, it is believed,
in appeasing the excited populace.

outbreak and prevent further destruc
tion of property remains, however, in
the disturbed area.

Ven-tueil, one of the wine depots upon

rected their operations of destruction
of the wine presses and bottles of
champagne and arrested two of the
ring leaders. While the gendarmes
are escorting the accused men to the

street and tried to tear incriminating
documents from the arms of the pub
lic prosecutors.

part:

selves as the party of Jefferson and
Jackson, not because we are a party

by and in love with what has been,
but because we are a party touched
with the ideals which made these-men
great, whose names we recall with
such reverence and enthusiasm, be
cause the breath of our party’s life is
its utter faith in the principles of
Democracy. It is its devotion to the
rights of the people of whatever class
or degree as against all claims of pri
vilege, as ag-ainst all selfish vested in
terests which seek control instoad of
freely serving the life and develop
ment of the nation.
A Young Man’s Party.
“It is so far from being a party of
mere reminiscence, a party which tries
to draw the country back to policies
which belong to another time, to the
circumstances of another age, that it
is, above all others, a young man’s
party, because a party of movement,
of readjustment, a party that presses
toward the future with unshaken faith,
with unwavering confidence and ever
renewed hopes and aspirations for the
principles of freedom, which are none
other than the principles of oppor
tunity, the principles of men not made,
but in the making, struggling from
achievement to achievement In a free
exercise of their powers.
“These things are embodied in Jef
