President Roosevelt has spoken as
favorably of national ownership OF
railroads as Mr.. Bryan ever did. and
he Is accepted as the head OF his
party and it's spokesman and exem-
plar by both the Republican campaign
book and the speeches of the leaders.

ton. Either Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Roose-
Welt is the candidate of the party as
much as Mr.. Bryan is the candidate
of the Democracy.
But no Republican admits that Mr..
Roosevelt's opinion" has forced
railroad ownership" on the party he
dominates, nor that Mr.. Taft's "opin'
ion" makes the party he may lead re-
sponsible for his promise OF tariff
reform "at an early day" Is 1t not
fair. then, to ask why the national
Democracy should be held response.
BILE for Mr.. Bryan's opinion" as to
railroad ownership? President Roose'
Welt succeeded in forcing his poll

Republican majority by the help OF
Democrats-no Democratic president
has done so much against his party.
1t would seem from the record, that

the opposite seems the assumption OF
