ENDORSE BRYAN.

"The Wisconsin Democratic con-
vention, which Is to convene on the
9th of this month, should endorse
William Jennings Bryan for president
In 1908.
"Such action would meet with the
approval OF the people OF the state.
Wisconsin Is n conservative state.
Bryan is called radical, but Wiscon-
sir stands where Bryan does upon The
great questions Of the day. An en-
dorsement of Bryan by the Democrat
ic convention will be in complete har-
mony with the spirit that prevails
throughout the state, y
So says the Milwaukee Journal and
sustains It's contention by convincing
argument. Ten years ago the great
paramount question In American pol
itics was the money standard. Mr.
Bryan was wrong on that question;
and he was defeated. Now the duty
at hand Is to uncompromisingly OPP
pose unnecessary tariff taxation and
all other forms OF special privileges.
Democrats all over the land are form
ing lines for that opposition, and Mr..
Bryan is their accepted leader. This
Is no time for instruction. The year
1896 was the year OF disunion; while
1906 promises to be the year OF
