Another indication that the deiu

is the return of Hon. David K. Fran

tendants, and the course of his
speech said:
I wish to ask this convention to
send its congratulations to the na

no differences lictween us now. In

The rest of the country will likely
follow. Nothing except the re
fusal of Mr. Bryan himself to Lecoihe
the standard bearer of democracy in
1908 seems to stand in the way of
his nomination. Bryan stands for
ward more prominently than any
one else as the representative of
resolute opposition to government
of, by and for the trusts intrenched
behind an ultra high tariff of their
own dictation. Which is to say
that it is upon constitutional prin
ciples and for a constitutional gov
ernment that he stands. As such
Bryan is a conservative. As con
trasted with other political ten
dencies the principle of which he
is unquestionably the leading ex
ponent is eminently conservative.
Indeed, without exaggeration of
language it can be truthfully said
that Bryan is the most conservative
force in American public life. I lis
conservatism is the very opposite
of 'stand natism," which is essen-

of their special application to pres

have not heretofore considered

in the last few years the value of
many Jeffersonian truths. Expe

necessity of constitutional govern

this emergency Bryan answers at

thoughtful purpose of democracy,

exposed inequalities, if injustices
and corruption in the administra

living hope of wise, sound, honest,
