Four years ago Mark not only had all
the Doodle he needed, but he had, a
thing unheard Of till then. a surplus

that. Now. it is said that the possess

little Missouri city Of 1000 inhabitants
81 lifelong Republicans have openly
proclaimed their intention Of voting for
Bryan.

It Will be remembered by everybody
that in his St. Paul pronunciamento
Colonel Teddy denounced all Demo
