William Jennings Bryan. the Democratic, Popu
list and Socialist candidate, having been failure
all his life, realized that he Is gifted with flow of
language which brings applause and a following of
unthnking, shallow and ignorant people. He i'm

poor, deluded followers and putting 1t in his own.

successful men, Their theories are impracticable

called the Democratic party, and the difference be-
tween intelligence and ignorance is the difference
between Republicanism and Democracy
The reelection of President Mckinley in No
vember means a renewal of prosperity. No man
with ordinary common sense desires a change at
this time. does he wish to be classed with
party led by patriot of William Jennings Bryan's
description.
