There was a time between 1896 and 1904
when Bryan could, perhaps. claim to speak
with some show of authority. But in 1904
there was national democratic convention
held in ST. Louis. Mr.. Bryan was dele.

mated He fought the platform which that
convention adopted. both In committee and
on the floor. He was beaten in every
fight he made. He then and there lost all
claim to be any longer the leader of the
party"
