Mr. His gen says: '"The Democratic party Is dividing The radical and the more conservative dements can poll together only a little while longer. After Bryan Is defeated for a third time there Is bound to be a new alignment of the people, and the Democratic party will disintegrate. The Republicans will get eom? of those former Democrats, and the Independence league will get more of them. The campaign of 1012 will be fought out by a different set of political parties from those now In the ftdd."
