welcome home and his speech, outlln.
ing the Democratic platform for the
Presidential campaign Of 1908:
The New York Times practically
reads Mr.. Bryan out Of the Democrat.

The New York Herald positively dc.
clares that the Commoner's idea Of
government management Of govern

The New York World agrees with
many of Mr.. Bryans declarations, but
asks a further question on each one.

From the Times:
Returning to his native land, Mr..
Bryan presents himself to his country

ly done his best to create an issue. but
we are not Of the opinion that he has
done well or wisely. We do not be-

or any great part Of the membership
Of either party Is ready to accompany
him upon this perilous adventure IN
