Genuine man like Hearst or Bryan, as
the Republicans nre. II cost p'uiocracy
$40 ooO, 900 to defeat Bryan. It Would mayo
cost them twice as much this year 20

The appetite OF the leopard may be lit

not changed his spots
"But suppose Parker should be de-
feated. Then what attitude would MT,
Bryan occupy? lie would according 10
his own declared purpose, begin to reor-
ean!ze his party IN favor Of the va
rious reforms for which ] am making
this campaign. and It would not be until
the next national campaign, 1908, tnat he
can know whether he can triumph over
the plutocratic element or DO defeated

as he did In; 1896 they can knife him
