All Of Mr.. Bryan's contentious in
1896 have been justified by time,
except the free silver contention,
which passed out Of court owing to
changed conditions. 1t is this, aided
to the fact that Mr.. Bryan has
remained true to himself and
%steadfast in his political faiths that
renders him so popular with an
awakened public today. In the
Berlin interview published elsewhere
he makes it clear that this country
must decide whether the people rule
or the corporate and monopolistiC
interests. The railroads are In
politics, the trusts are In politics,
the protected industries are IN
politics, the insurance companies are
in politics. Their influence and their
money are given to the party and 60
the representatives who will serve
them. The issue is whether the
government is to be Of these things
and therefore for these things, or Of
the people and Tor the people. Nov

comes. One of the most likely candi-
dates for ice honors. according to the
opinion of some of the promoters of the
sport. is "the medicine mare" Bella

s. B. and the black colt which he start
ed in last summers races. Harry Lee
