"Eo SYNDICATE HAS PAID
HIS DEBTS."

Personally, Bryan viii win all
who approach him. As man, none
i no know him will refuse him re-
spect. Politically, Jefferson would
adopt him; Jackson take his hand
and espouse his cause. Young as
he is, Bryan is Of the old party,
and in his nomination. the careful
searcher Will find only renaissance
of the ancient democracy.
Ii is excellent in Bryan's favor
that he is founded on himself. No
coterie controls him; no syndicate
has paid his debts and holds IN It's
strong box Sis, 500 of his uncan-
celled notes of hand to be some
sword of Damocles suspended over
him as man or president. All there
is of Bryan is Bryan. unless one ac-
cepts his wife, who, with all that s
oooa about him, is the best thing
about him still. She is a woman
tender and true, cultured and re-
fined. and has been stimulus ana
as we'll star, to guide in all OF
Bryan Is life. She will win well and
wear long, should fate find her on
,ext 4th of March "the first lady Of
the land.
Bryan is what they call "magnet
