Idea of League T? (?reater :
Than Its Builders Dream
Bainbrbidgr C?alby, former Secretary ;
of State, told members of the National

ner, at the Hotel Asfor, last night, that
the purpose und objectives- of the
Democratic Party had such merit thai
"they are making headway of their,
own vigor."
He ?leelared that "the great idea of
an orgaimed -league of justice is to?
day greater and more impressive than
its builder'-? dream." The Democratic
Party, he said, "can afford to wait in
patience and in confidence. The day
is at hand when America will speak to .
her afflicted brethren throughout the
world in the language of honor and
generosity- in justice and unself?
ishness."
Speaking of the present position of
?he Democratic Party. Mr. Colby said:
"Our system of government proceeds
on the assumption that a parti of con?
scientious opposition ia hardly less es?
sential to the due working ?if our in?
stitutions than a party ?4" responsi?
bility ard initiative. Therefore, we
will support the party in power when
it is right and even when it is trving
to be right."
Other speakers were Former Gov?
ernor Alfred K. Smith, Dr. Henry Van '
Dyke a:-,d Governor Albert C. Ritchie,
of Maryland. Charles P.. Alexander.,
president of the club, presided.
