AH-'s . . .
But there is now a rift in the dark
cloud Of adversity that hangs like q
great black pail over the common
people and there is q glimmer of
bright sunshine beyond. With the
beginning Of the twentieth century
stick pin right bere--we will turn
over a new leaf and lick the Repub-
lIcans clear out of their boots and one
year from the 4th of next March we
will land that incompatible states
man and matchless orator, William
Jennings Bryan, in the presidential
chair.
That he will make the greatest and
grandest President that this country
has ever had, have not the shadow
of doubt. And right here l wish to
say that am not a man or hero
worshiper, for 1 never in my life
threw up my hat and ran over myself
to shout for any man on earth, but, Il
! live to sec the day when Bryan takes
his seat In the Presidential chair ]
shall feel nightly tempted to tosI
my old sombrero skyward and let oui
yell that would sound like the wal
whoop of q Oomsnehe Indian.
Bryan is q remarkable and wonder.
full man and II this world has evel
produced one who possessed the
mental and physical powers, combin'
ed, that he does no history has evel
recorded the fact.
You may call 1t magnetism, hypno'
tism, inspiration or what you please
but the fact remains that the maj
never lived on earth who could cap
ture the hearts of the people as Bryai
can, and whose bitterest enemie
could not pick single flaw in elthe
his private or public character.
!. He is honest, incorruptible and q
true to the people as the needle is +
the pole. He can neither be bribed
! bullied nor bought and when he take
! his seat as president he will plan
3 himself squRrely on the constitutio
as firm and solid as the eternal "Roc
of Ages" and no power on earth ca
, sway or swerve him from the path Q
