1t doesn't matter to Mr.. Bryan who
the republicans nominate, because he
is of the opinion that the fight will
be an appeal to public conscience.
The recent investigations have proved
that great campaign funds have been
dumped into the republican treasury,
with the hope of seeking to convert
the government into business as
set. Regarding the republican nomi-
nee he says that he must either be
reformer or stand-patter, because
both factions have large following
in the party and are strong, and while
one is sure to win the course of the
democratic party should be the same
no matter which element controls the
