In the present day of wonders there is a power behind the throno (hat should not bo forgotten. William Jennings Bryan, who throo times went down to defeat under less favorable circumstances than thoso which smiled upon Woodrow Wilson, is the real hero of the present vic tory. Many men who voted for Taft in 1908 later wished they had voted for Bryan and wanted tho chance to do so. Mr. Bryan must have known this but he resisted the temptation of seeking the nomination. He chose rather to do the becoming thing, to suppress tho greatest ambition of his life and to do his party a service by fighting in a disagreeable situation against former friends to secure the nomination for the best man in the race. Without Bryan, . the democratic party would have been nowhere to day. Not only did he accomplish what seemed to be impossible in the nomination of Wilson, but he kept the party from disintegration and utter reaction through its lean years of failure. Ho failed to carry elec tions for himself but he was prob ably more successful than any other man would have been under tho cir cumstances. Mr. Bryan is one of the big char acters who will go down in history along with other leaders who aspired to the presidency but never reached the goal, largely for the reason that they were too pronounced in their views to receive the support of all factions. He has distinguished com pany in Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Greeley and Blaine. Franklin, fitted serenely into a gor geous French court. Mr. Bryan would capture tho British, even tho most formidable citadel of tho ultra fashionablo Anglo-American society, with tho plain beans and blue Joan of a dollar democrat. Columbus (Neb.) Telegram: Mitt cup of happiness is full and running over. His dream of twenty years is now a glorious reality. Ho has redeemed tho democratic party from bondage to any manner of evil thing, and he has played hl own mighty part in placing at the head of the republic a man who will apply in governmental attnlm tho magnificent principles espoused by tho democratic party and approved by tho people of tho nation. This happy man in Intensely hu man.

Gateway: Bryan, the great commoner, won his great est flsrlit He defeated business at the Baltimore convention; he nomi nated and elected Wilson: he de feated a third term movement. Bryan, in truth, led tho common peoplo to victory. rnrunxm Chicago Tribune: The apprehen sion caused in London bv the sug gestion that the Hon. William J. Bryan might succeed the Hon. White law Reid as ambassador to Great Britain is distinctly unfriendly to a distinguished American. The fear that the "ambassador's residence would no longer bo the rallying place of ultra fashionable Anglo American society" is a most useless ly provoked emotion. If anv one has a right to be scared we suspect it is Mr. Bryan, but we know that if he were to conquer his timidity and were to accept the post the English would end by being captivated. Professionally, as a Jack sonian Jeffersonian, Mr. Bryan .hates the Persians and their trappings, but when he is in Teheran he is will ing to compromise a bit and do as the Persians do, to a reasonable and moderate degree. Tf he introduced the ultra fashion able Anelo-Americans to the dollar dinnerhe would do so with so much smiling good nature and with such a warm hospitality that the feast would have all the grace 0 Hora tian simplicity, no matter if the em bossy were pently scented Hh the wirm and oi ly odors of K. & k.
