ones who till adi hered to tbe principles oi our Govern ment and that tbe change ot heart and idea was not with tne adherents of the little prophet of ban Francisco at he termed Henry ueorge but witn the old political parties who were getting further and further away from correct eovernraental principles every day The Democrats be said were not exactly in lineiwith tbe tingle tax people but they were leaning that way and if they would come over a little further the tingle tax advocates would join with them but if they did not then the smgle tax people would establish a party of their own and
