BVan's Part in the Ca mpaign

Judge Parker voted for Bryan
twice on free silver platform al
though he believed the gold stan
dsrd was irrevocably fixed. Mr.,
Bryan very logically says that he
and his friends can not do less
than support Judge Parker in re-
turn for his loyalty to the party,
if there were not other excellent
reasons for doing so. Mr.. Bryan
was a member OF the Committee
on Resolutions and the st. Louis
platform was shaped in many in
stances to meet his views. he is
defending it with all the vigor of
his nature, saying to his followers
everywhere that they will be re-
creant to Democratic principles if
they fail to vote for Parker and
Davis. Mr.. Bryan would come to
Kentucky to repeat that message
to the thousands who followed
him in two campaigns, and whose
affection for him as a man and a
leader have never changed, but he
is acting under orders from the
National committee in combining
his speeches to doubtful States.
He has never failed to answer a
call from Kentucky Democrats,
whose devotion has his full appre
citation.
There is no more interesting
development of this campaign

than what might be termed t b G
rehabilitation of Mr.. Bryan's pop
ularity. For time it seemed at
if his defeats had wrested from
him the right TO com mand, Those
who feared that free silver might
again be made an Issue were sus-
picions of his leadership. They
we're quick to accuse him OF self
ishness, OF desire to revenge
himself on the Eastern Democrats
who lad Iesassd to support him,
thus disorganizing the party and
eventually ooitIng the nominees.
But Mr.. Bryan rose above these
calamities, as he rose superior to
the temptation that would have
seized a small politician, whose
mind was poisoned by defeat. He
proved his right to the place he
holds in the hearts of millions of
his countrymen by standing on
the brord platform of party loyal
ty, brushing aside the slanderero
that sssailed him, forgetting the
wrongs that have been heapon up
on him, in the hope that through
his example the Democracy would
once more become a united party.
His self-sacrifice will all be in
vain if his followers, not only in
Kentucky but throughout the
country, do not emulate his wise
and patriotic course. The cleo
ton of Park er and Davis will be
a personal triumph for William
Jennings Bryan, for without his
assistance there is no possibility
of defeating Roosevelt. But, win
or lose, he will come out of the
campaign with his old popularity
unimpaired, the unrivaled orator
and leader of his party.
