Discuss Issues, and
Leaders for 1920
(Continuod from Pago 9)
T. H. Baum, North Carolina. In
rosponso to your request relative to
issues and candidates for the next
campaign, I bog to say that as to is
sues I am not proparod to say what
is bost to adopt along this lino, but
of one .thing I amv sure so far as
human knowlodgo can bo, and that
is that tho best and only man I be
Hovo can do it is W. J. Bryan, for
our noxt nominee on tho democratic
ticket for president. I am willing
to trust issuos to him, as I am sure
he will not accept a platform that
is not in tho whole interest of- the
people For tho past twenty years
I have stalcod my hope on Mr. Bryan,
and of one thing I am sure, he has
made, tower mistakes in what he has
advocated than any man, in public
life today. He can see and think
about twenty years ahead of his
average countryman; hence, I be
lieve him the best fitted man to head
our ticket, and I am sure if he can
not be elected at this time that no
other man in the democratic party
can, so let's have Mr. Bryan for our
next president. It would fulfill tho
greatest desire of my life in a poli
tical way to see him in the White
House, where ho ought to be now.
I believe my second choice would be
the present attorney-general, Mr.
Palmer, or Joseph W. Folk, both
great and good men.
E. A. Grover, Wisconsin. It seems
to mo that the time has again ar
rived when democrats everywhere
bhould arise as one man and call our
groat commoner, William J. Bryan,
to again lead the. party, using every
honest means at our command to
help him lead the party to victory.
Mr. Bryan, of all men, should have
been the one to go over the ocean
i3 make tho peace treaty. Time has
vindicated tho issue of silver as a
money standard, and all the issues in
his three platforms on which he was
defeated. Is it not now time to vin-

dlcate Mr. Bryan himself by letting
the world know ho is tho leader of
tho democratic party? I soe Mr.
Lodge says he wants the peace treaty
to go before the people as a party
issue. By all means, let the demo
crats make it an issue, with Mr.
Bryan the candidate; then who can
doubt the result. All democrats, all
tumporance men regardless. of party,
all tho noble women who have done
so much to dethrone John Barley
corn, all laboring men and women
ptruggling to better their condition,
all will be found marching under Mr.
Bryan's banners. And when the
coming campaign has been brought
io a close I believe he will have been
olected by the greatest majority ever
given a presidential candidate.
J. N. Welsh, Illinois. In answer
to your request for a choice in 1920
for president, will say that our first
is W. J. Bryan, and, next, the man
that ho will indorse. I did hope that
Senator Stone would live to run, but
ihere are just as good men left,
among them are Daniels, Baker,
Kitchen and others, but first is W. J.
Bryan.
A. H. Tidball, M. D., Ohio If the
democratic convention nominates W.
J. Bryan as their candidate for presi
dent in 1920 he will be elected.
There is no other choice among the
many great men in our party who
can begin to poll the voters that he
can. If every democrat had been a
subscriber for The Commoner in any
one of the last eight years this ques
tion would not be asked now. I have
been reading The Commoner ever
since it was published. There is not
a law governing our country that he
has not advocated. His wonderful
ability, his purify of character, his
continuous advocacy of right and his
battle against everything w-rong,
stamps him as the man to nominate.
Look at his position on the railroad
question, on the question of tem
perance, on the question of woman
suffrage, his fight for the laboring
man, his fight for the farmers, his
position on government finance, his
position on initiative, referendum
and recall, and all the great meas
ures adopted and approved by the
government. Many think Ohio will
poll the pivotal vote in the election.
Bryan would sweep this state.
C. W. Simpson, Texas. As to my
choice for next president, I wish to
say that W. J. Bryan is the man for
many reasons. Stress highways,
farming interests, education, death to
disloyalty, etc., in the platform.
J. Karl Gordon, Illinois. W. J.
Bryan is my choice for the demo
cratic -nomination for the presidency.
What would the democratic party be
Without him? Where would our
party be today had it not been for
his heroic efforts in the Baltimore
convention in 1912? Mr. Halloway,
of Mississippi, says he thinks Presi
dent Wilson has wrecked the demo
cratic party and Mr. Burleson by his
acts has. driven thousands from it.
Let our convention nominate Bryan
and he will repair the broken parts
and bring tens of thousands into the
democratic fold.
RAILROAD EMPLOYES OPPOSE

Washington dispatch, dated Nov.

the Esch railroad reorganization bill,

clared that "so far as the labor pro

they are more vicious and more sub
