the proposition to elect president Of the

subject. "and with a mind free from bias
or prejudice, for or against the PROPOSE
ton. it is constrained TO say that in its
judgment the better of the argument is
with Mr.. Joseph Bryan, who submitted
the minority report" In additions TO the
reasons urged by Mr.. Bryan against the
new departure, the Gazette says that the
idea has taken possession Of the public
mind that the office Of president, If estab-
lished, will be created, not because of any
necessity for it, but to provide a fat
place to be filled by some favorite as
reward for partisan services. and that the
movement now on foot is the entering
wedge that will open the way for drag
