Bryan; however. the number is so in
considerable that it will not affect the
result next November.
The democratic party has a leader
who IS fearless and whose public lie is
an open book. The unconpromising
attitude that he has assumed touching
all public questions. evidence the TACT
that he would rather be right than pres
ident OF these United States. The slave
oligarchy once domineercd the con-
gress oi the nation. and the other de
partments OF government with all the
tyranny now exercised by the pluto
cratic class-the money power oil
garchy. The cardinal principle of the
/ Bryan platform is euqal rights to all
men and special privileges to none. 1t
was practically the Lincoln platform
/ and he made it fixed TACT in our ma
/ tional life at the cost OF millions of
/ treasure and thousands OF lives. The
martyr president left as a heritage to
! the American people a constitution and
declaration OF independence that in
cludes the black man when the term

the idea OF the equality OF all men be

tocracy, in any government. must cul-
inmate in wage slavery for the toling
masses and a notification OF the free

The vicious attack upon Bryan by
the trust-ridden press and their apos-
tates on the hastings, have been only
| equalcd in our American history by the
emissaries OF the slave oligarchy. during
anti -belum days against Lincoln. An
other four years OF the Hanna Nc Kin
ley regime will make the money power
all powerful and the American people
! will finally realize the complete usurpa-
ton OF their rights in the management
OF governmental affairs. Bryan warns
the people of the dangers that win en-
compass our liberties il the dollar is
placed above the man in Our political
life. and in that regard he voices the
sentiment OF Lincoln
