AN ANSWER To HANNA.

Here Is the picture that Henry D..

this enlightened age. The pictures
which he draws are pictures OF the
life against which men and women
are now struggling i'll the great and
pitiful revolt against the coal trust:

BE TRUE TO DEMOCRACY.

The election Of a Congressman
from Nevada i'll harmony with the
views OF Mr.. Bryan is one Of the most
important issues Of the campaign.
So FAR rs the Presidency is concerned
the lines are closely drawn. Those
who favor the policies outlined in the
Kansas City platform will cast their
votes for Bryan and Stevenson, while
those who believe III Republican eN.
pansion, the protection Of trusts, the
gold standard, the benevolent assimil.
lation OF the Filipinos and the other
policies OF the administration will
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt.
But there Is another phase OF Ma
tional questions that should receive
the serious consideration OF those
who favor the election OF Bryan and
Stevenson and that is the election OF
a Congressman.
This is a political year and the
candidates for Congress represent
the principles OF the national or.
ganizatIons. Mr.. Newlands stands
squarely upon the Kansas City plat
form, while Mr.. Harrington stands on
the Philadelphia platform rs modi-
fed by a weak silver plank in the
State platform. 4 vote for Mr.. New.
lands is a vote for the principles adj
vocated by Mr.. Bryan and a vote for
MIR. Harrington endorses principles
exactly the opposite. How, then, can
a nan who votes for Bryan con-
~sistently vote for the Republican
nominee for Congress-! Does he not
nullify his vote Ter Bryan and make
himself a political cipher by so doing?
IL national questions did not figure
in tho campaign, personal friendship
might outweigh party loyalty and
Democrats could consistently cast
their votes for Mr.. Harrington. But
with the great national questions to
DO settled by the next Congress, il
is difficult to see how Il supporter OF
the principles advocated by Bryan
can consistently vote for u candidate
for Congress who stands for the
very opposite OF those principles.
Another thing to be considered in
connection with the matter is the
necessity of the election OF a House
OF Representatives in harmony with
the views OF Mr.. Bryan. II elected
President, he will be poweriess to
accomplish anything for the people il
the House is Republican. In that
event no legislation recommended by
him, however beneficial, would be
permitted to pass that body. But
with Il Democratic House in full
sympathy with him on the great
questionsof the day. his recommenda.
tons would be forced upon the at.
tention Of the Senate and public
opinion might force their enactment
into law. II the Senate failed TO
respond to public opinion. the next
election would place Democrats
enough in the Senate to enact tie
recommendations Of Bryan into
law.
This view Of the question should
have weight with every loyal sup.
porter OF Mr.. Bryan and should dc.
eide him to cast his vote for Mr.. New
lands. No petty jcalousics and no
weak devices Of tho enemy should
prevent n Democrat from measuring
up to the full pnrty standard.
