Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-27
the great work Mr. Bryan has prepare
our people TO accomplish.
Quality characterizes Work

Quality chsraoterlzes Work
THE degree Of excellence Of his work
was quality and noble purpose. He
prepared our nation to view this pollt-
ical subject intelllgently and sympa-
thetlcally His feelings and emotions
were stirred to the desire OF purpose
and thereby does he act. Honest con-
sciousness put this man in possession of
faculties that he never dreamed were
his. and dominated by great energy
was commissioned to speak from
higher power.
"Our next thought Is to study care
fully his teachings and act more wisely
In future. Another presidential cam
paign is drawing near; we stand upon
the threshold Of a coming new life
for four years. Can we pause together
years glance back over the past eight
years what our nation Is facing7
Trusts have been enthroned calami-
ties have thwarted our commerce. crime
Ia potent in our municipal government,
confidence Is shaken in our people. If
/ were asked what especially the last
years have brought to our nation, the
answer would be, our people have
awakened to a broader thought, a
nobler purpose, a higher ideal and a
greater sense of responsibility, with
a stronger love for our independence.
Ethical Problems Presented
"The majority of people will rise step
by step and grasp the great truth that
is borne upon our minds, that England's s
gold shall not subdue and control our
industries on such terms as they see
fit and dictate. The political influences
that are surrounding us at present are
apparently suggestive Of aggressive
socialism. Ethical problems are arising
that we must take cognizance OF the
unmasking batteries before 1t is too
late. / voice the sentiments Of many
thousands of our people who heard Mr..
Bryans first solution upon political is
sues in 1895. In those efforts he ex-
pressed directly the Importance of a
proper discriminating Judgment upon
all government. and civic movements in
behalf of our Whole country, for deeper
and broader foundation.
"a more rational investigation in all
methods whose actions should influence
extensive improvements and no inter-
fering with political interest should be
adopted. Municipal government is for
the people, and by the people. If we
observe vigorously all mandates for
this system, our cities will accomplish
the undertaking Of building the great
est and most beautiful cities on the
globe. Our public money can be so used
in charters that no disastrous results
could cripple city affairs. Mr.. Bryan s
knowledge of civic or country matters
Is not limited as he has travelled
widely in America and Europe. These
subjects are one to which he has de-
voted much time to study. Let us profit
by his teachings and improve our city
conditions. The larger majority Of our
citizens are awakened to the possibili-
ties Of advancement for a more pros
porous commercial trend and expand
ing this important interest for the
whole people to press forward.
"Those who know Mr.. Bryan in per-
sonal associations understand his en-
bodiment for loftiest principles based
on deep laws for humanity. His great
soul manifests qualities in the home life
as an ideal husband and father, with
friends as well. Building the perfect
hcme life Is the base of our nation upon
which al ltrue life rests. In William j.
Bryan our nation has Christian gen
tleman, the honest man, the American
patriot, the friend to the laborer, and
one who cannot be bribed to betray the
trust of honest people.
