William }. Bryan continues to write
letters reat1irming his adherence to the
Kansas City platform and declaring his
intention to oppose any candidate who
does not agree with him. The follow.
ing is an extract from a letter dated
Feb. II, received by representative in
Congress-
You have probably noticed the activ-
lty of the so-called reorganizers, cor
poration or boiling Democrats who are
trying to secure control of the Demo-
cratic organization for the purpose of
making the next Democratic national
platform so like the Republican plat
form that they may appeal with equal
force with the Republicans to the trusts
for campaign contributions. Democrats
who prefer to be controlled by is it
right rather than will it pay?' should
insist on knowing the object in getting
together
In this connection an extract from an
article in recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post is interesting Alfred
Henry Lewis is writing for that paper
series of articles on politics and poll
ticians from an independent stand
point. Writing of Democracy and its
lago. The Political Past and Future
OF William Jennings Bryan" Mr. Lewis
says
The recent speeches of Mr.. Bryan
and his revival of silver in hope of
schism- his conduct smells sadly of
rule or ruin.-have not gone without
comment at the Capital There be few
OF none who ascribe to him any integ-
rlty OF sentiment. They say he is not
thinking of the nation or of the party.
They hold that his impulse is selfish,
and that he is sowing open-eyed pre-
medltated dissension with a no more
ingenious purpose than the prevention
of any Democrat other than himself
from attaining the White House emf
nence which he has twice failed to
reach.
