Mr. Bryan, who seems to be the only
logical candidate. for the Democrats
nomination for President next year,
since nobody else seems to have any
considerable support, has been saying
things likely to cause some of his fol-
lowers embarrassment, and is already
provoking some questions from the con-
servatlve press and not few party
papers In his speech recently deliver
ed at Greenfield. Ind. Mr.. Bryan, IN
outlining the proposed antitrust pol
icy OF his party, in case the party wins,
declared that the national administra-
tion could proceed against trusts by
having the President appoint an attor-
ney general, who would recommend to
Congress the enactment of law that
would obstruct them. or, II necessary,
to recommend the adoption of eonsti-
tutional amendment empowering Con-
gress to pass such law"
This part Of the plan, diyulged by the
leader who expects to be the candidate
again next year. inspires the Washing
ton Post, which isn't partisan PAPER.
but is independent in politics, to In
uuIre II the Democratic party is ready
to 90 to the country with platform
demanding any enlargement Of the area
OF national authority. The Post asks
also these questions, suggested by the
above statements by Bryan:
nt0OU 0A

cate the surrender OF those poWers MllCi !,

cracy reverse its consistent record by oe-
mandlng that the fundamental law OF the

the old school. are there many democrats
of A newer cult who would ike 10 nave

tiers they might grant TO local corpoTa'
lions
Referring to the portion of Bryan's
suggestion that the attorney general
could recommend the adoption Of con-
stitutIonaI amendment empowering
Congress to pass an obstructive law,
the Post, very truthfully, notes that the
history, the principles, policies. aims.
aspirations and purposes of the Demo-
cracy are all dramatically opposite,
unalterabIy opposed. implacably hos
tile to 1t. II the Post is ignorant on
this subject; II a new Democracy has
swept away all OF the old landmarks.
II would thank some indulgent Demo
cratic organ for enlightenment"
A great many thousand Democrats
who believe in the fundamental pFincI-
pies the party has been teaching them
from boyhood up. will wonder how one
so important can be reversed without
danger to the reputation OF the party.

last year. This is pretty large NUM-
Der. 1t would take more cIphers to In
clude the inventions Of the year which
were not patented. but were literally
sold upon the streets and sent through

easily made, and easily imposed upon

West Virginia Republican Outlook
An interesting review of the Repub-
Iican outlook for candidates for state
omces next year appears locally in this
mornings Intelligencer. 1t is conser-
vative, and names about all the most
prominent candidates, with their merits
and their various prospects. From
among those mentioned 1t would be a.
most impossible for the party to select
weak ticket. The winners are not
hard to select. II proper wisdom pre-
walls, and that goes without saying.
The many excellent aspLrants mention-
ed Will meet with favor generally, and
1t will not be hard to make a good
choice.
The main feature Of the situation is
evident at the beginning. That means
now. It is, that every West Virginia
Republican must make up his mind to
stand unltedly for harmony and vic
tory. With that end in view there will
be no difficulty in coming to the con-
illusions that will insure that these
watcnwords will remain to the front
up to the end Of the campaign.
The campaign in West Virginia next
year win be involved in the national
election, and with the determination
which exists in the state to stand by
the present administration, both state
and national tickets can work together
without difference. Each can help
the other and neither's interests need
be sacrificed in any way for the other.
Remember 1896. and do likewise.
