WHY BRYAN WILL WIN.

Why BRYAN WILL WIN.
What. chance has Bryan OF being
elected? Naturally the editor of DEM
ocratic newspaper will say that he
has great chance, whether he real.
ly thinks so or not. That is his busi-
ness. e s
Upon this occasion we will mention
some classes Of people whom We
believe will vote for Bryan this
year. If you doubt it, ask some of
them.
Ask the drummer who he will vote
for. A vast number of them have
lost their positions because of COM
binations which permit Of one trav-
cling man doing the work Of several.
Mckinley prosperity has hurt them
He will tell you that he voted for Me-
Kinley four years ago. Heis going to
vote for Bryan this year.
He can tell you Why too. He can
talk. The same brain and tongue that
makes him good drummer makes him
q good Rrysn worker. ''s3sss5
The drumms u Is not only going 10
yots for Bryan. That is not no speed:
He is going to work for him. He Is
scattered all through this big country
and he will come pretty near equaling
the Mckinley campaign orators in num-
ber.
The drummer is going to he quite a
factor in the campaign this fall.
Ask the man who keeps the cigar
store who he is going to vote for. He
voted for Mckinley last year.
He is going to vote for Bryan. He
has to buy goods from the tobacco
trust. He can't make any money. The
trust gobbles the profits Of the bust
ness. ~
The cigar stand is a great place for
political discussion. Men congregate
there and talk ABOUT men, conditions
and issues. The keeper of the store
is looked up to as man pretty we'll
posted. He has much influence in the
discussions. His views of Bryan and
trusts are certain to set his friends
thinking.
Ask the grocer who he is going to
vote for. Or the man who keeps the
little hardware store. Ask any Of the
store keepers who are pinched by the
trust.
| You will find that very few Of them
intend to vote against Mr.. Bryan.
The small dealer who was driven out
of business by the goDbling trusts, sol
who is SO squeezed by the rapaclous
monstrosities that he makes but
a scanty Lying wall tell you that he
is going to vote against William Nc
Kinley.
| Ask any Of the men who have
been thrown out Of employment by
the trusts who they are going to vote
for.
Ask any Of the men who are aware
that they are being blei BY the trust.
whosthey are going TO vote for.
They are going TO vote sfor Bryan
They will tell you that they are very
sorry that they voted for Mckinley foul
years ago.
The extraordinary growth and bold
ness Of the trusts during the past fou1
years will make those injured and iaf
lfected vote for relief: These gigantic
com blnations hgve gulped up the small
dealer; thrown vast numbers Of peopl,
out OF employment, and the majorit!
Of them are bleeding the people.
When man is in danger he seeks safe
lty; and whenshe is suffering he want
relief.
y Mr.. Mckinley has had chance t
save and relieve the people from dan
gerous and criminal trusts, but he .ha
lfailed to do 80.
| His administration has been q tlus
Incubator. It has been most profit
Of greed and criminal combinations
It has Matched out all kinds Of capita
istic schemes to bleed the people.
The man to appeal to is Bryan. Al
the trusts are opposed to- him. The
will use all their power to defeat him..
That fact is one Of the best thing
that can be said in favor Of Mr.. Bryan
The Trusts are against Mr
IIRryAn.
