responded with patriotic fervor to the
call to arms, Mr.. Bryan's self-con-
stituted critics rang the cry all over
the land: Where is Bryant" Then
when they learned that he was willing
to serve his country in any capacity
to which he might be assigned, offer
ing to enlist as private and march
to the front, they denounced this as a
Palpable exhibition of demagogy, de-
claring that no man of his standing
needed to prove his loyalty and
patriotism in that way. Now that
Mr. Bryan is raising regiment at
his home in Nebraska and expects to
go out as its colonel if second call
is made by the president, his detrac.
tors are making merry over the Incl.
dent and heaping much ridicule on
him.
All OF which goes to show that Mr..
Bryan cannot hope to please his fool
critics. When he did not proclaim
in hot haste his eagerness to shoulder
a gun and march on Cuba alone, they
said he was coward. When he en-.
listed as private in a company COM
posed of his neighbors, they said he
was demagogue. Now that he is
raising regiment, they say he is a
self-seeking politician, and are already
reviling his command with the cpl.
thets of the Silver Legion" will
lies Wonders" and other similar
titles of detractiOn.
1t can be safely predicted, without
any attempt to defend Mr.. Bryan
from the silly attacks of his detrac
tors, that if he goes into the war he
will display the same qualities OF
heart and mind that have endeared
him to millions of his countrymen
He has youth, personal magnetism
ambition, courage, good sense and 9
natural power of command, attested
by an experience that falls to the LOT
of few Americans.
MIR. Bryan's fool critics would bet
ter keep quiet until as soldier he
commits some of the numerous error:
for which they are fondly hoping.
