Bryan stir Up Trouble

Vne Bryan candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Presi-
dency does not take well with De-
mocracy in West Virginia, as evi-
denced by utterances by many Of
the states prominent Democrats
disappearing Of 1t, nor in the coun-
try at large, as shown by. the fol.
lowing from the New York World,
which Is but sample OF what met
ropolitan and other Democratic
papers are saying of the Peerless
leader since he said he would ac-
cept the nomination:
Announcing his readiness to ac-
cept the Democratic nomination for
President, Mr.. Bryan, In the course
of 11uv-word statement, says:
1t only remains for the Democratic
party to convice the people that 1t
can be intrusted with the work Of
reform ii'
"a tribe; mere detail. After
eleven years OF Mr.. Bryan's leadep-
ship the people are SO well salts
fed with the Democratic party's
trustworthiness that there are only
two Democratic United States Sem
ators north Of the Mason and Dixon
line. and one Of them is silver
Republican. 1t State after State
not single Democrat represents a
district In Congress. There are on
ly six Democratic governors north
Of Ohio. and four of them were
elected on locel issues in solid Re-
publican states. Even Kentucky
has gone Republican.
"of course Mr.. Bryan will accept
the Democratic nomination.! A for
NAL statement to that fact is super
fiuous. But why should the Dem
ocratic party accept Mr.. Bryan? Is
the party so infatuated with defeat
that 1t would not change the GER
tainty of disaster for even the pos
sibility OF victory?"
The pith of the Worlds comment
is its sarcasm over Bryan's assump-
tion that the people trust him OBJ
solutely, but have a distrust of the
Democratic party. This is an insult
to the party that ought to be sutiic-
lent to dissuade any Of 1t from
supporting him. He places himself
above party in his self-esteem and
now tells the party that 1t must
come to him. If 1t would win.
But. the World says he had a
chance and the people would not
trust him. 1t may well ask, also.
Thy the party should accept Bryaa
and truthfully holds out the idea
that the only reason Democracy
would accept him is that it is in
love with defeat and seeks 1t again.
Democracy can not and will not
win; but 1t has less opportunity to
make showing with the nominal
ton Of Bryan than some other ma
tional figue of that political faith.

Fourth Trial Of Powers.

Without parallel or precedent In
the criminal court records of Amer
lea is the Caleb Powers case in
Kentucky, and the eyes Of the
world are focused anxlously on the
outcome Of the present trial to sec
whether political hate and preju-
dice can endure with any civilized
people longer than has already been
the case.
After haveing served seven years
and eight months In Jail under in
dictment, Caleb Powers is about 10
stand trial for the fourth time in
Kentucy on the charge OF completely
in the murder Of Governor William
Goebel.
Twice ne was sentenced TO life
Imprisonment and once condemned
to death. Three times the State
Court of Appeals has set aside the
verdict against him. Two Judges
have passed out of the case und, r
the defense's protests OF prejudice.
The New York World reviews the
comments on the case as follows, In
manner that ought not to give any
solace or pride to the political per-
secutors Of this man. nor comfort to
the State of Kentucky, which stood
for the outrage perpetrated against
the voice of the people by the Cog
bel-Beckham machine:
In Its political aspects the affair
of Caleb Powers opens with those
troublous Kentucky days Of 1899
1900 when Senator coebel wass
making desperate use of his dlcte-
torial strength to have himself de-
clared governor. The vote had been
against him. So had his own cleo.

Fortunately the clash OF arms
was ayerted- Powers took his

with peaceaful body of petitioners.

threat of assassination had become
