DEFINITE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP
VS.. INDETERMINATE CONSERVATISM.

The brave and splendid defniteness
of William j. Bryan four years age
stands out distinct and admirable in
contrast to the indeterminate conserva-
tism and Sphinx-like silence which are
seeking enforcement in the Democrat
ic party of today.
One does not need to agree with Mr..
Bryan s views to admire his courage,
his clearness and his candor There
were thousands who followed him in
his two great campaigns who were not
converts to his financial opinions, but
were swept into the current made by
his manly, direct and definite convic-
tion.
The people like men who believe
things and are not afraid to give their
reasons for the faith that is in them.
The people like public men of convic-
tions-men who do things and are
willing to admit to their fullest conf
dence the voters whose suffrage they
seek for the highest and most response
BILE office in the world. The people like
o man, and they never willingly fol-
low an uncertainty or a leader who
stands behind other men. 1t was the
silver clearness and confidence of Bry-
an g bugle note which twice rallied
seven millions of American voters to
Is call.
1t is not popular to say these things
of William j. Bryan now, and that is
why say them. 1t is better to be
right than to be popular, and the time
to say good and strong things of a
man is when he deserves them-and
needs them. Mr.. Bryans views are
discredited at this time and the tickle
breath of the people which once wildly
acclaimed him is now expended in
depreciation.
1 never agreed with his views in

their day of expression, but | do not
ose sight now of the unselfish devo-
tion, the eloquent advocacy and the
magnificent conviction which glorified
the man; and | am not to be diverted
by the servi'e mutations of public
opinion from yielding my tribute of
admiration to men who are, in the
highest development greater than
measures, and whose character and
faith are at last the real riches of the
republic.
And no American. living or dead,
has ever done in this republic what
w. J. Bryan did He sat in his parlor
at Lincoln, three hundred miles from
Kansas City and dictated to con
million voters and representing more
they must adopt his political convic-
nominate him as their candidate for
the greatest station in the world.
No other American ever gave such
evidence Of civic courage and of civic
power as chat. He put in practice
what Clay expressed in theory, and
neither Clay nor Calhoun, nor Webster,
nor Grant, nor Blaine ever approxi-
mated the political power and control
which was demonstrated in his message
and in its acceptance.
And when again Mr.. Bryan came back
from Europe, few months ago. he
came bringing fresh laurels of inter
national praise. The English publicists
had proclaimed him the sincerest and
most impressive statesman that Amer
lea had sent abroad within the quarter
century. The European newspapers
eulogized, the European monarchs
showed him honor and he came back
with the acclaim of multitudes to

If he had chosen then to say frankly
that his contact with other people and
with larger currents of commerce had
modified his financial creeds and that
in view of the changed environment
he recognized the mission of his party
in other issues. and was willing to
JON hands with its leaders and go for
ard to the making of platform for
the times-IF HE HAD CHOSEN to
say this to his party in its present
state-there was nothing, and he knew
it, that would have kept him from
going once more to the front as the
idol and perhaps the leader of Democ-
racy.
But with his very first utterance he
re- affirmed in thunder tones his un
shaken adherence to his storm shaken
creeds, and putting his convictions
once more in the scale against his in
terests pulled down the register with
the weight of a man. - - :.
1t may have been suicidal. but it
was superb. 1t may have been mis-

1t is not strange that a great party
of the people should have followed

definite and loyal.
And it is this type of man that is
longed for and sought for by the De-
of today. There is no need
for the trimmer and the time server
clinging to customs of compromising
with greed. However. the politicians

THE BRITT-NELsoN BOUT.
Both Fighters Have Finished Their
Work Of Preparation For
The FRAY.

San Francisco, Gal. Dec. 20. Sport
ing men from points far and near are
arriving to see the fight between
Jimmy Britt. the idol of the Pacific
Coast, and Battling Nelson, who
attained the top of the pugiiistic lad
der by his recent decisive victory
over HYoung CoTbett" Interest in
the contest extends TO all classes and
il is the sole topic of conversation in
the streets, in restaurants, clubs and
other places where sporting men con-
gregate. - sszss- -s--- - 49, - -
The fact that the victor Of tonight's
battle will have legitimate claim TO
the championship serves to increase
the interest, though there is no actual
championship at stake. Britt is not
the lightweight champion, Joe Cans
still holding the title. though he was
soundIy thrashed by Britt, who lost
the fight on foul The fight, how
ever. will have every feature of q
championship contest, as Britt. through
his showing against Cans and Nelson.
In virtue OF his defeat of Young
Corbett," have every right to be rec
ognized as the two best men in their
class.
The fact that Britt is the favorite in
the betting has not diminished the
confidence OF Nelson's followers.
Some of the wiseacres of the sporting
brigade say the Chicago boy is only
good on tile surface, and that he will
be unable TO stand against fighter of
Britt's acknowledged cleyerness.
Warm friends of the Dane just smile
at him, and simply say that the result
will justify their confidence in Mel
sons ability and gameness. Both
fighters have finished their work of
preparation and are doing only enough
work to keep in the pink of condi-
ton. Those who have been admitted
TO their respective training quarters
declare that the fighters appear TO be
in condition TO fight the battle Of
their lives.
The Yosemite Club, under whose
auspices the mill is TO DO pulled of,
expects the Attendance TO far surpass
that at the Corbett- Nelson fight. The
advance sale of tickets has been so
large, Notwithstanding the high prices
asked, that additional seats have been
placed in the pavilion. The fighters
will weigh in at 1872 pounds at 6
O'Clock tonight.
