ARROGANT

The arrogance of William j. Bryan IS
something astonishing. lie sets himself
up as a dictator with a self-assurance
which one would naturally think would
be intolerable to any political party. He
dominates himself IA he orders his
party u adopt a platform according
10 his directions. So confident is he OF
his absolute power that he serves mo-
tice on a very large n influential ele-
ment OF his party that they need eX-
pect no Cancellation from him or his fol
lowers. These men, who have been
democrats all their lives, ana who have
intrepidly followed the standard OF
jefferson ana jackson through success
siye defeats and few victories, are
bluntly told a they are no longer
the democratic party and shall ave no
voice in It's councils. unless they become
echoes OF the new bosses. IL they do
not choose to accept populism and call
1t democracy they must remain outside
the house OF their fathers, now filed
with the ragtag and bob-tail, who have
stolen the livery OF the greater founders
Of democracy.
