The Philadelphia Record has gravely
informed Its readers that it cannot sup
port Bryan for president. Inasmuch as
the Record did not support Bryan when
its owner was a Democrat, it occasions
no surprise that the Republicans who
control the paper will not permit its
editors to espouse the cause of Democ-
racy. The Record is good news
paper, but in politics it masquerades as
an independent Democratic sheet while
every line bearing on the vital political
questions of the day contains pure Re-
