This Sullivan episode is an apt illustration OF
Bryan's dicatoral spirit and his disregard for any
rules OF organization that stand in his way. he
got his start in national politics in 1896 by boiling
the Democratic convention in his own state, and
getting up contest4ng delegation which hadn't
leg to stand on but which nevertheless was seated
by the national convention because it favored free
silver and the regularly elected delegates did not
Then in 190Ohe bul,dozed the Democratic national
convention into accepting the platform and
the ''paramount issueh he dictated, although the
Judgment and good sense OF large majority OF the
delegates was opposed to it. He did his level best
to run the national convention in 1904 predicting
disaster and repudiating it's action in advance, kick
ing necessarily during it's deliberations and denounc-
ing the ticket and platform after the convention
adjourned. 1t is not surprising after such an exper
ence that the Nebraska dictator should make small
bones Of the fact that Mr.. Sullivan holds his place
on the national committee by virtue of his election
by the state convention, confirmed by the national
convention against Mr.. Rryan's protests. Why
should he for conventions and vested rights of
committeeman when he has spent his time in boiling
and bullying bothi
Roger Sullivan is right in his position but sadly
in error in saying that Mr.. Bryan is not the czar of
the Democratic party. That's just what he is, and
it's Old Man OF OF the sea besides. The party would
like to get away from him and hiseratic ideas, all
opposed to the principles and traditions of the old
conservative Democratic party of Tlden, Hendricks,
BayardS Lamar. Randall, Thurman and Cleveland.
But the Democrats have one to turn to, and they
will have to carry the Bryan incubus awhile longer
whether they like it not It is their poverty, not
their will, that consents.
