1t Is believed the Democratic party
would unite on Mr.. Bryan5more nearly
than it has united on an y candidate since
the election of Mr., Cleveland, IN 1892
The party was split to the DO tom VI
Mr. Bryan was the cand !dnte the first
time. The cleapag &c was NJ not & SO great
IN, 1909, many Of those who had left the

46S,rhe men who are mos t ardently h ad-i
yocating the nominn ton OF Mr.. Bryan
claim that he alone can poll Z the full
strength or the Democratic party az VS.
probably true that Y he can q come more
nearly getting the vote OF every Demo
Graf than can any. other man
Z 3If5i the record OF the past ten years
means n anything !. 1t means that there
are more Republicans than Democrats IN
this country. II Mr. Bryan had received
eyerysyote cast for Palmer and l3uckner
IN 1906 he would not have been elected.
There is no means of KIN owing how many
Democrats voted for Mr. Nc kinley out on
right. In 1900 tho Republicans fhr. out
numbered tho Derlccrats. Mr.. Mckinley

votes. president Rooseyelt's majority.

LII Is therefore evident that, In order
To win. tho peniocratIc ticket must be
one that will command the support Of
thousands of voters who have been yot-
Ing tile Republican ticket, Democrats
are, therefore, Interested ~
