That Extra Session Nonsense.

We read even yet an occasional contribu-
ton to that campaign of folly inaugurated
several months ago by some ounces who
thought some political capital might be made
by calling the Legislature Of this State in
extra session to enact new election law, or
to introduce new feature into the present
law. The proposition is to introduce the
educational test and possibly another relating g
to property holding. If the dominant party
aspires to the bondilion of permanent er, let
them induce the Governor to take tie step;
there is no such pressing necessity as that
which may not be met by the session of 1902,
if at all and whether at all or not will best be
determined by the action of Congress in the
reapportionment act now under considera-
tion. If Congress recognizes it, then let the

Senator McComas, who belonging

beirg much discussed in political cir
cles: "Bryan is an able man with much
magnetic and mental force and be is
certain always to have a following OF
some magnitude. Beyond all mere po'
litical beliefs, however, Bryan is So.
cialist. Anyone who has studied the
growth of Socialism in Europe, has seen
it take positive hold of Germany and
Belgium and Franse, has watched it's
progress in England, where it has de-
yeloped to a degree which interferes
with British Commercial supremacy,
must realize that the day is not ia: dis
tant when socialism will sweep through
the United States. When that day
comes, Bryan will be the great social
,stic leader. He will have followers
from the republican as we'll as the dem.
ocraiic and populist parties, and if hard
times should come, arousing envy and
jealousy, Bryan would be dangerous
candidate. This, in my judgment,i is to
be Bryan's future to become the great
socialistic leader in the United States" 1"
