If one can judge by Mr.. Bryan's let

faith in the regulation of railroads by

himself two years ago. True he says
that 1t will take time to bring about
the results he contemplates. and that
just now. 'it is impossible to tell how

That is. it shows that the vitality of
the Democratic party is still factor
to be seriously reckoned with in our
politics. True 1t is that the issue on

its application, but that does not
wholly account for the unprecedented
falling off in the Republican vote in

Nor does the issue which Samuel Com
