Mr.. BRYAN'S new ISSUE will
AFFECT THIS YEARS. ELECTIONS

authority in the party, has taken Mr..
Bryan up and he is to speak in the
campaign under the auspices OF the
committee. This commits the party
to this new issue.
1t. is natural that Mr.. Bryan, with
his dictatorial disposition, should ad-
vocate such an imperialistic policy as
the ownership and operation of rati-
roads by the government. "a system
that would put almost unlimited pow.
err in the hands Of the Presi lont. Rep
resentatfve Livingston, of Georgia,
Jeffersonian Democrat, condensed in
to a single sentence the strongest ar
gument against Mr.. BryaM's new is
sue when he said: eff were Presf-
dent when. government ownership
took erect would entrench myself
In power and establish the Livingston
Dynasty" MIR. Livingston realizes
that a President with all the vast army
of railroad employees at his command
and with the power to coerce commUn-
tiles by charging freight rates could
establish himself in power so firmly
that he could not. be displaced anu
that he would be able to select his
own successor, Mr.. Bryan's sdvocacy
of giving this vast imperinlistic powe:
to the President suggests the idea t1iat
he may hope to be elected President
ON this issue and to become the first
dictator Of the United States instead
of being merely. the boss Of his party.
The action Of Democratic Congress-
ionaIs Committee in taking Nr, Bryan
up makes government ownership and
operation IAN issue in this, campaign
and everyagote for Democratic candi-
date for Congress will be a vote for
that policy and will aid N getting
