"DOWN WITH BRYANISM"
However, there is one phase of the
presidential question that has al
ready started a heated discussion. It
was put in motion by those inde
pendent democratic Journals like the
New York World, which devote
three VfiftrR TO fr rllaiiueolnh t,
policies of the democratic party and
men on tue fourth year support the
republican nominee. These papers
are fnow insisting that Bryan and
"Bryanism" bo eliminated from the
democratic program, and promising
that the earth and all its fullness
shall be ours if we but forsake the
gallant standard bearer of Nebraska
the one man above all others who
for the past fifteen years has made
the democratic party a wholesome
and powerful political force in this
country and an organization worthy
of existence. To eliminate "Bryan
ism" from the democratic party Is
to leave , nothing. It would be like
presenting th 'play of" Hamlet with
out Hamlet. 'In 1904 the pluto
cratic press succeeded in a similar at
tempt and the result was that the
party polled a million and a quarter
less votes than it had-in 1896 and
in 1900, when Bryan was"1 in ttie
saddle. Independence ' (Kansas)

MOTJIiDER OF, TWENTIETH OEN-
TURY THOUGHT
What does it .matter to Mr. Bryan
if his friends have not been able to
elect him to any office in these state's
Of America,? . , w
His influence grows, nevertheless,
and today it is- the H strongest and
healthiest influence in American life.
Time will remove the Injustices
the small prejudices the misunder
standings and time will brighten,
not dim, his honor-.
The impression he bjtks made- on
the pages' of history is noble and
lasting.
He has absolutely forced the re
publican party, through the intellect
ual influence he has with the people,
to adopt more and more democratic
principles, and he has compelled
them to lead a better aiid a sdme
what less unholy life. But the more
they are compelled to yield to the
better civic ideals which he inspires,
the more they hate him.
Does that worry him? No.
Mr. Bryan's life's endeavors lie
clear and straight ahead unto the
end; and shall reflect unto the end,
the pure conscience and transcen
dent intellectuality of the man.
American public life In this gen
eration of American history has been
enriched and ennobled by the Influ
ence of this splendid figure. .
The Wstory of our times will be
brighten! and nobler because of thq
life and living of this righteous man,
whose wonderful power and leader
ship lies not in the coercive force of
wealth, but in the lofty individu
ality and personal charms which
come from unassailable integrity,
and transcendent moral and mental
endowments,
W. J. Bryan has been the leading
Instrument In bringing about the
nomination of senators by direct pri
maries in many states. The income
tax laws and the regulation of rail
roads and many other reform meas
ures, were championed by him, and
then adopted by the republican
party. Kennedy (Minn.) Journal.
A MISSOURI OPINION
Democrats must not lose their
heads over their recent successes,
and imagine that they can with any
reasonable hope for lasting success,
compromise with principles to gain
a temporary victory. Wo arc hon
est in tho statement, and thejo are
hundreds of thousands of democrats
who feel the same w.e would rather
lose fighting it honestly along tho
lines of tho 1908 platform than to
win with a democrat, in name only,
running on a retfublicanized plat
form. Those are our sentiments in a nut
shell, and if anybody wauts to know,
wo will frankly state that we still
think that William J. Bryan is not
only the biggest combination of in
tellect, morality and statesmanship
in tho world- today, but the greatest
democrat since the time of Thomas
Joffersqh, and the man best able to
cope successfully with the political
problems of tho day.
Some of us may, in tho exhuber
ance and overjoyousiiess of recent re
sults, Imagine that the party can well
dispense with the services of Mr.
Bryan, but wo will be glad to go
back to him for counsel long before
the campaign of 1912 has begun. It
is tho part of wisdom for democrats
to sit quietly In the boat, and if they
steer by the compass of tho Denver
platform, they will avoid the shoals
and guide the old bark into a safe
and successful harbor. Harrlson
villo (Mo.) Democrat.
