MR.. BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH

We wish time and space would
admit OF the publication Of Mr..
Bryans entire speech, delivered in
Richmond last week. The next best
thing possible is 10 give the
editorials of the three papers in
Richmond on the subject. These ed
itorials show what three great edi-
tors, who heard the speech, thought
of il.
The Evening Journal and Times
Dispatch speak in sane, sensible
terms OF praise of The great address.
The News Leader speaks of the ad-
dress in an entirely different strain.
The editor evidently heard with
dull, if not prejudiced and unfriend-
~ ears. Passing by the News Leaders
almost if not quite discourteous
"chronic smile" and illustrations
from the prize ring and prize
fighter there is one criticism of the
speech is unfair, based upon mis-
statement, which, il appears To Us,
that the distinguished editor of the
News Leader should not have made.
1t is this: "Since his return To this
country from his foreign travels Mr..
Bryan has declared for two policies,
one being the government owner
ship OF transportation lines, " etc.
Mr.. Bryan declared, in his Madison
Square Garden speech, that "ulti-
mD1alU'' { oil r
compelling the great railroads TO
obey the law and deal fairly should
fail, then, as an ultimate" step, as
a last resort, the government, in order
10 protect the public should step in
and take charge of the railroads.
Only this-nO more on less. He gave
Ihls as his opinion, simply. 1t is
strange that sensible men will persist
in misstating and misconstruing Mr..
Bryan position on this subject.
The News Leaders repreSentati> G
seems to have gone to hear the adj
dress of Mr.. Bryan with something
OF the same feeling that we some
times have had when, rs bows we
went TO circus, expecting and
hoping TO see and hear "hair-rais-
Ing and ear-splitting performances
10 be raised out of your seats
stunts, and because these things did
not come off just as we eXpecten and
desired, leave in huff and pronounce
the whole thing a failure.
Mr.. BIyan's great speech was san,
and great in its sensible simplicity,
delivered for the benefit of sane and
thoughtful people, and il is to be re.
GREETED that he did not catch The
News Leader, and cause il ito rise
10 (his) its feet and howl

Evening Journal.

The conservative friends of Mr..
Bryan, and ali those who have at
heart the good of the Democratic
party, and do not desire to see il
wrecked on the rock of radicalism,
have "A right to be profoundly gratifi-
eel at the address he delivered yester-
day. 1t was a great speech. Not great
In the studied arts and graces of an
orator speaking merely for effect and
to that end calling TO his aid all the
mysteries of his @rt, but great in its
simplicity, its directness, its obvious
sincerity, and in that conservatism
and moderation which the leader of
a great party of a great cause owes
TO himself and To the men who fol-
low him.
The Democratic party has long
been divided into two more or less
hostile factions, and the line of
cleavage has followed the teachings
of Bryan. Independent men resented

MR.. BRYAN AND GOVERNOR

Swanson was too much engaged else

and the Governor had to be on hand.
In 1895 Governor Swanson was n
great Bryan man. as was also
Senator Daniel. Afterwards-in 1880
Senator Daniel made speech "fer-
nent" Mr.. Bryan. Last June, the
election of State Senator from
Major Daniels district came UP. The
election of Senator favorable TO
Senator Daniel was brought about
only by great effort. The ghost of
that ST. Louis speech doomed up.

MR.. WERTH'S CANDIDACY

Mr.. Werth's platform, is a plain,
independent statement of his position
on questions i'm which the people of
this district are interested, and upon
which the people, Republicans rs
well as Democrats, would like TO see
some legislation. Particularly ON
several of these "planks' have the
Republicans been harping for several
years, and insisting that they should
be either repealed or amended, no.

tofOre. Upon such an Independent
platform, Mr.. Wreth should be elect
ed. Even the Republicans can find
no fault here, and rs between the
two candidates Mr.. Wreth is decid-
eddy the strongest OF the two. AS n
lawyer, he is well informed, "A man
OF strong powers and of recognized
ability. Added 10 this is that other
potent fact, that Mr.. Werth is a
member of the dominant political
party i'm the State. aud will have an
advantage here which would be de-

with the other facts stated above,
should insure Mr.. Werth's election.

has not recovered.
Since his return TO this country
from his foreign travels Mr.. BRYAN
has declared for two policies, one
being the governemnet ownership. of
transportation lines, the other the
Initiative and referendum. Yesterday
he did what the nervous, incisiye
slang of the prize ring calls side
stepping on the government owner
ship proposition and he omitted any
reference to the initiative and referen-
dunn. His general tone and attitude
impressed us as that of gentleman
icing his way, having nothing speci-
ally to talk about, trying TO make
himself pleasant and-again going
TO the prize ring for smile-fiddI-
ing Tor an opening. The speech was
kindly and smoothe and useful be-
cause ii carried the minds of those
who heard il to certain general broad
principles and defined widely and
clearly the intrinsic and underlying
differences between the Democratic
and Republican parties. 1t was not,
however, a definition of Mr.. Bryan's
purpose and policies and contained
no suggestion of action or method by
the Democratic party i'm the coming
campaign of which we are almost
ON the verge. Mr.. Bryan time after
time commended Mr.. Roosevelt for
adopting and using parts of past
Democratic platforms but cautiously
remarked that the president had not
gone far enough. Yet the did not tell
us how far he himself proposed TO
go or thought the Democratic party
ought TO go. Those who expected an
agreeable, entertaining, generally in
structive speech from n good speaker
were amply rewarded. Those who
hoped for warning, thrilling, stir
ring utterance, for epiGrams and
phrases and battle cries with which
strong men may be called TO the
fighting line were disappointed.

what they conceived TO be his intol-
erance; conservative men dreaded the
extreme radicaliSm of some of the
doctrines he was understood TO hold
and To teach.
But whether we be Bryan Demo-
Gratis, or anti-Bryan Democrats, none
can question the fact that he occu-
pies now and has long occupied a
dominant position in the councils of
the party, and that ut present he
holds its destiny in the palm of his
hand.
Mr.. Bryan apparently realizes
this, and the tremendous responsible
~ has sObo red him. His address of
yesterday was revelation 10 both
his friends and his enemies. In this
address he did not coniine himself
TO generalities, leaving the most rad
zeal and extreme of his followers to
put their own Interpretation on
them, and his enemies 10 gleefully
accept this Interpretation and hold
him responsible for it. lie went into
detail, and he left nothing TO inter-
probation and to doubt.
Malice itself could not misunder-
stand his discussion of the railroad
question.
Clearly and specifically he declar-
eel his conviction that government
ownership was only to be considered
as last resort and only TO be resort
ed to when regulation and control
had utterly failed.
In other words, the question of
government ownership is in no sense
an issue, and whether il eyer be-
comes one depends upon the success
or failure of a reasonable measure of
governmental regulation and control.
| Few, even among those most ir-
reconcilably opposed to the idea of
government ownership hesitate to say
that, in the last emergency, when all
Others means have failed, and when
ii is Il plain choice between the
country being owned by the railroads
or the railroads being owned by the
country, that they Will accept the
| latter alternate,
| This, Mr.. Bryan made clear be-
yond the possibility of misunder-
standing, was his attitude on this
subject.
Many have feared his views as to
State rights and felt that his policies
necessarily implied the destruction
OF their constitutional rights and
trended toward Capitalization just as
inevitably as the teachings and pol
icies of Mr.. Roosevelt. In full dis.
cussion of the subject Mr.. Bryan
affirmed his unqualified adherence
to the written Constitution and his
earnest desire to see preserved intact

News Leader.

Between the Bryan of 1896 and the
Bryan of yesterday the difference
TO us seems TO be the same there is
between a rapid fire machine gun,
splitting out fire and powder, and IA
machine manufacturing lard and
oozing out its smooth, white product
in an absolute unobjectionable flow.
lie used TO be compact dynamo
with fine, strong lines in his face and
virtually in his every word and sem
tence. He has become a fat and unc-
tuous citizen, tending a little TO
groSsness and wearing chronic
smile. Probably the truth of the
case is that Mr.. Roosevelt by his
wonderfully audacious and aggres-
sive course in adopting Democratic
policies and methods, has snatched
away Mr.. Bryan's target and left
him nothing TO fire at. Certainly the
speech of yesterday was aimIess and
wandered.
To begin with, it was scheduled for
hour and lasted two hours. When
speaker of Mr.. Brya's prestige, rep
utation and natural strength is COM
PEELED to resort to, a collection of
campaign stories to hold and amuse
his audience il is a sign of weakness,
to those who are informed in such
matters a distinct sign of distress.
The speech did not have one thrill or
flash. 1t contained no electrifying
sentence, nothing to tempt the most
warm-blooded and responsive man
to rise TO his feet and howl with JOY
and approval. 1t dealt much with
the common people and the average
man, but in his consideration of
