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.

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. An honorablo ambition wai
his companion through the years
but In the hour of tho crucial teat
ho met It like a man, and laid that
dear ambition as a loving sacrifice
upon the altar of dovotlon to nil
principles and to his country; and
now that h!n hope of the yearn in be
half of good principle!! has ripened
Into a glorloiw fruition, his heart
of goodnctMi is glad, and glad with

to the world that love of prlnclpU
can be greater than love of self.

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.
