The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-09-19
Still Bryan's Party.

Tom johnson controlled the Ohio
democratic convention and that conven-
ton adopted the platform prepared by
Mr.. johnson. That Ohio democratic
platform indorses in whole the Kansas
City platform of 1900, which reaffirmed
the Chicago platform of 1896 Tom
johnson is the heir-apparent to the
Grown of Thorns," which Mr.. Bryan
has worn so gracefully for six years
Mr.. johnson is Mr.. Bryans candidate
for President in 1904. And yet there
are democrats who believe that the party
has changed and that it has cast aside
the dead issues of the past Tom John
son represents all these dead issues and
he is standing for them in the Ohio
campaign. The warning of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, the great democratic
organ of Ohio, has not been needed by
the party in that state Two months
ago the Enquirer uttered its warning in
plain and unequivocal terms In a
leading editorial it said:
1.-THE democratic party cannot win on
defunct money issue, or on policy
that takes it in any degree out of sympa-
thy with the admiration for the brave
soldiers and sailors who are fighting the
battles of their country-yea, the coun-
trys battles, whether the policy at
| Washington is right or wrong-or in
support of crank propositions to abolish
private enterprise and teach the people
that they must depend ON government
for everything, or to follow sensational
leadership that, if they had any princi
pie, have been denuded of it by selfish
ness.
The country is prosperous. The ipst
dixit of no public man, no matter how
eloquently the rhetoric may pour forth
from his prolific mouth, can prevail
against the condition that makes Sc
many people happy. A volume of reso
lutions by political conventions, with
storms of applause and music by syn
dictate of brass bands, cannot restore the
issue which passed into the night wher
South Africa yielded her golden treas
ures and the sturdy adventures went t.
the Klondike, and lifting the frosty GOV
ering looked upon yellow wealth thai
made pigmies of our greatest statesmen
in finance.
This warning, given by the creates
democratic organ in the country, was
given in June, when the eastern demo
Gratis were trying to get together il
harmony with their brethren of the
west, and Cleveland, Hill and Gorma1
were trying to find new issues to talk
the place of the wornout issues of 1885,
and 1900. But the democratic party il
not in control of Cleveland, Hill ant
German. 1t is in control of Mr. Bryan
and his followers and they are still
clamoring for their old issues, free trade
free silver and anti-expansion.

mistake to lash it with drastic drugs
