THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES
IN THE RANKS ONCE MORE

Philadelphia, Pa, September 3O.-(Spe-
cial 1.-THE Philadelphia Times. one of the
most prominent and influential papers of
four years ago, will come out tomorrow
for William Jennings Bryan for president
and earnestly advocate his election. Edi-
torially The Times will say:
-Four years aAo, in the sudden crisis
that divided the councils of the demo-
cratic party. and for the time being
seemed to have checked its great career.
IT seemed better to The Times, as to
many other leading democratic papers. to
sustain Mr.. Mckinley's election as presi-
dent rather than that of Mr.. Bryan. The
decision was made In good faith. The
result has shown it to be wrong. 1t has
repented and recanted. Imperialism and
militarsm are the ma tural outgrowth Of
commercialism in politics. of the power
of the few over the many, the elevation
of money above manhood, with all the
system of special privileges and corrupt
control that the republican party since
the civil war has increasingly fostered.
The condition is one that the country
must meet and meet now, and the way
to meet IL is by reassertion of the DEM
ocratic idea and the election of demo-
cratic president. This The Times means
to advocate with all the force II has.
our belief in the essential doctrines of
the democratic PARTY and IN their neceS-
sity TO the country is stronger than
ever No one questions, or can question,
the ability. the carneStneSS, the integrity
of the democratic candidates. For the
rescue of all that has made America glo-
rious i'm the past and that can make her
strong in the future. II Is duty 10 sup
port their election.
