Mr. Rrvan's nlea for the salvation OF
this country by the destruction of what he
terms "imperialism," as exempli6ed IN
the administration of our affairs in the
Philippines. loses its force when 1t Is re-
membered what he pledges himself to
carry out at home, in matters which go to
the personal and property interests Of
every citizen of the republic, no matter
how small such interests may be. II
would be the height of folly in this cam
paign to forget the very important effect
which Mr. Bryan's election would have
upon the business interests of the coun-
try. In the minds OF those who carry ON
the affairs which make up our business
world he is associated with uncertainty
and doubt. 1t will not do to say that
these interests are selfish and ought to re-
ceiye a lesson. for the creates sufferers
will be those who are most dependent
upon the largest daily activity in bust
ness. No one would suffer so much as the
laborer, for he must have steady work,
day in and day out. He has no reserve
capital from which to draw, and the cur-
tailment OF business operations means
the curtailment OF employment OF labor,

accent theirs. They indorse him-he does
NOT indorse them; and. once elected, they
to nrotest against his radicalism. By vot-
ing for him they do. in fact, indorse him,
despite mental reservation that they do
not approve of his public utterances and
Ponulistic views. They disarm them
