so we took extraordinary pains to perfect
the precinct organization. Bryan lost
ground steadily from the time he started
his campaign in Indiana, and especially did
he lose ground in the gas belt after he
made his free trade speeches to the labor
ing people. In fact. Bryan and Organism
have not been popular with the people
