John Temple Graves - Conditions
are in upheaval and the country in I'M
certainty and unrest. The republic
wants new parties and new men.
Bryan and Roosevelt hold the keys.
They know and respect each other.
They are fighting for the same great
interest. I would be ashamed OF
Bryan if, as a definite democrat, he
did not prefer Roosevelt to Parker,
who was not offensive to the trusts.
[ should lose my faith in Roosevelt II,
as democrat-republican, he would
not at times prefer the patriot Bryan
to Foraker, the champion OF the trusts.
These two men have on their lips the
power to change the face of the parties
and regenerate the republic. One word
from Bryan would send Roosevelt
back to the White House, omnipotent.
One word from Roosevelt would just
as surely make Bryan president and
clothe him with power for reforms.
Each can elect the other. Never was
such power, opportunity and respon-
sibility in the hands of two men. These
two men are merely tangled over terms
enmeshed in names. Tribunes OF the
people, soldiers in a common cause,
champions of righteousness, they are
afraid of parties and abashed by shlb-
boleths. Yet in all the world they
stand alone fronting the opportunity
for Immortality by transcendent
patriotism. The obligation is even
upon each. Will either rise to the
great heights? Will Bryan's unselfish
conservation or Roosevelt's impulsive
and courageous honesty inspire the
waiting world? have pointed my own
hero to his opportunity. II he will not
grasp it let us nope the other may.
