Wear the flag
Keep the mills open.
Don't haul down the dag.
Things are coming our way.
Prosperity, patriotism and victory are
in the air.
Those who uphold law and order
wear the flag.
The Democratic party is consistent
In that it Is keeping up. its record Tor
inconsistency.
The western country has also become
the enemy's country for the advocates
Of repudiation and free trade.
The Republican party is the party
that performs. The Democratic party
Is the party that promises only
BY shifting his position from one par
amount issue 10 another, Mr.. Bryan is
going to give his competitors lively
chase for the scattering vote.
AS long as Bryan's speeches keep the
soldiers In the Philippines hiking
after the insurgents the patriotic yo-
tiers OF the country VIII not hike to
his standard.

country believe that II Is far better TO
haul down the iiag in the Philippines
than TO Keep the wheels OF commerce
turning In the United States
Bryan despairs Of the future OF the
country because voters Insist on per
nitfing business TO influence their poll
tics. and yet he himself has grown
wealthy by making politics bis busi-
ness.
II l. safe 10 predict that free silver
will never again find place In n Demo
cratic platform. bat !; VIII take the
party long time to overcome the stig-
ma OF having adopted such financial
hcresy.
Bryan claims 70 he the re-ernbodi-
Ineni of the spirit OF Jefferson, and In
sisls that he wears the mantle OF Lin
coln. but as yet has 1lsde no claim to

kss .pss Protection and prosperity are
better for the national treasury than
are free trade and ndvetsity.
The Democratic defeat IN November
should not DC charged against Chair

Davis. II viii be due to the fact that
the policies Advocated by the party are
wrong. while those advanced by the
Republicans meet the approval OF the
free. thouchtfni voters OF the country.
