You'd Aid the President.

New-Haven, Conn. Jan 23-WiIIann J. Bryan
was the guest OF honor at dollar dinner given
night in Warner Hail. Mr.. Bryan made II an occa-
sion for indicating the reason why the Democrats
party was so overwhelmingly defeated In the last
campaign. and also stated what seemed TO him sigma
of promise for a Democratic victory In ths next
Presidential campaign. He said In part:
Taking away the personal popularity OF Nr.
Roosevelt in the campaign. there would be muca
left in the results TO encourage the Democrats
For a quarter of a century the government has
been drifting further and further from the people
But it good sign that the independent voter
asserted himself in the last election. And have
element is getting since that election We have
found persons hom did not suspect OF such a
tendencv helping along good Democratic ways
When was invited recently to speak before the

preached good Democratic doctrine two texts

publican Governor and the other taken from tha
