That heterogeneous combination of farmers, union laborers, intellectuals, sputtering communists, and Republican malcontents, which was ranged beneath the banner of the late Senator LaFollette, a year ago, has disintegrated into its various components, though echoes of its pseudo-Marxian principles are still heard in agricultural problems. The Democratic party, its morale shattered by internal feuds, has almost succumbed to the general apathy, as it half-heartedly pursues an economic policy drawn along traditional laisser-faire...
