of Nebraska gave it an interest an
political importance more than stat

and file of the American democracy ,
that wherever Bryan sits , In the demo

other men may find even higher favor
amongst men who work nt politics an
a trade , and amongst those who sit in
scats of the mighty , Bryan's strength

lions of American homes , and by mil
lions of the true and earnest men and
women , by whoso endeavors this coun
try has boon made great , ho will al
ways bo regarded as champion and
friend the fearless foe of wrong and
oppression everywhere. It Is of little
consequence to the great democratic
party of America that there may be

conscientious convictions on questions

the leaders of all parties. Mr. Clark
dwelt at some length on the coming

"have begun an effort to coerce congress
gross into acting on reciprocity and
that alone by asserting that the presi
dent has a right to adjourn congress
if the two houses cannot agree on E
date for adjournment. No president
has ever adjourned congress , and the
chancep are ton to one that If Presl
dent Taft adjourns congress to pre
vent our curing the outrages in the
Payne-Aldrlch-Smoot tariff bill , he wil
not be able to command one-third o ;
the votes in the electoral college , ant
there will hardly bo enough repub
licans in the house of the Sixty-thin
congress to call the ayes and nayes.1
