THE FULL DINNER TAIL.
Mr.. Bryan is now inclined to laugh
al the argument of the Gull dinner pan.
Nobody laughed about it four years ago.
1t is mighty sight easier to laugh "a bout
it when it is full than when 1t is empty.
When it is empty it is serious business.
If this nation chooses to turn bcdlamlte
and put Mr.. Bryan and try his policies,
we have nobody but ourselves to thank
for the disaster that will surely follow
II wont do any good to say that We
neaGt well; that we do not mean to hurt
/ ourselves. What l am saying applies Just
as much to Democrats as 10 Republic,
1t is to the interest of all OF US ID have
prosperity and gO0d times. The only
chance OF Mr.. Bryan is in that queer tickle
ness which people have when they are
We'll Off If a man is we'll off he IS very
willing to take chances. When he IS
badly off then he is more careful IL is
now four years since we We're badly off
and some people forget. Four years ago
would have dared to sheer at the fuU
dinner pail and say it did not mean
much, because then the dinner pail was
not full, and it means a great deal to
every one of us when the dinner pail is
empty.
BRYAN AND TAMMANY.

campaign. Our opponents want to Bly,
anize the nation and Crokerize the State"
