BRYAN vs.. ROOSEVELT
BRYAN WILL WlN-STRAIGHT
TIP GIVEN OUT BY vARDA.
MAN OF MISSISSIPPI.

Chicago. H.. Oct. 29.-Roosevelt
and Bryan will be the opponents
in TN next political campaign
Roosevelt despite all the talk OF
his popularity. will be defeated.
Bryan. the man who conceived the
principles on which Roosevelt has
based his bids for public esteem.
will have T. X. beaten to whisper
before they enter the stretch.
That's the straight tip handed
out In Chicago today by VIM. Var
daman. governor OF Mississippi, prop.
het and opponent OF suffrage for
the negroes. He has been In Chi.
cago more than twelve hours. and
for eleven hours and forty minutes
mas been suffering with the cold
But as he looked into the political
future his face glowed and his
voice sounded with enthusiasm.
"All this talk about Rooseve,t's
popularity In the South, as shown
by his recent visit, is nonsense
declared he. The enthusiasm was
the natural hospitality of the South
demonstrating itself in a new fash.
ion. II was the genuine American
feeling that anlmates a., true
Southerners. Despite this when the
election is held. Roosevelt will not
carry precinct In Mississippi.
That Roosevelt wiz be nominated
there is no doubt. Putting Taft
forward Is only political play.
Roosevelt is not behind him sin.
cere;y. Taft Is the weakest OF the
administration men who could have
been picked. and Roosevelt's idea
in selecting him is to frame things
for himself to be the nominee.
William J. Bryan wiz be the
selection OF the democrats. All that
now makes Roosevelt popular is
that he has stolen from Bryan. and
II he runs on platform of his
policies he will be running on al
Bryan platform. The natura, result
will be Bryan's election"

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT.

Some of the great newspapers OF
our day, such, for instance. as the
Washington Post, the New York
Times. and the Philadelphia Press.
are trying very hard to mix up Roose.
welt and Bryan. 1t looks as II these
papers were booming Bryan In the
interest of another nomination for
Roosevelt.
The Press thinks that Mr. Bryan
will be nominated. that he is no
ordinary man. and that no republican
but Roosevelt could defeat him. The
Times Is OF the same opinion The
Post says: Take the tariff out, and
what is the difference between Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt" And again.
II Mr.. Bryan were president. where.
in would he reverse the policies OF
Mr. Roosevelt"
Now. there is Just the same DIFF.
ference, or more difference, between
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt. than
there was between Jefferson and
Hamilton. Bryan is opposed to the
'aig stick" policy OF Roosevelt; and
this constitutes a rad cal differenc. :.
Bryan Is opposed to Roosevelts idea
OF granting immunity TO criminal in.
dividuals who. like Paul Morton, do
the dirty work of the corporations.
while Roosevelt is the parent and
defender OF that policy. Here is an
other radical difference, Bryan be.
lieves. In all the principles of Jeffer.
son. while Roosevelt despises and de-
nounces those principles. On all
principles they are as
far apart as the poles. Their differ.
ences are irreconcilable. Bryan be.
lieves as Jackson and Taney believ.
ed respecting the dangers and evils
Of the banking system. while Roose-
welt favors to the utmost the great.
est OF the national banks. and the
whole system Of concentrating and
aiding the money power.
Bryan opposes the subsidlzing OF
while Roosevelt favors It. |
Bryan is opposed TO government by
injunction, but Roosevelt favors II. |
No two men were ever more com |
pletely and universally opposed In
theory or practice. Yet we hear Of
Roosevelt-democrats and Bryan-repub- |
licars; and we find Roosevelt's sup.
porters trying to create the impres.
sion that he is pursuing Bryan's
theories. The silly subterfuge is well
financed but It will not work. There
is, however. this similarity In the |
political situation of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Bryan. Neither can unite |
his party In his own support. Leav.
ing Mr.. Roosevelts fate to the ten.
der mercies OF his opponents in his
own party. IL Is most unfortunate that
Mr.. Bryan, who has so many staunch
friends. cannot draw all democrats |
to his standard. II he could. he would |
be elected; for the un-
successful faction OF the republicans
will be at least luewarm for the
nominees of the dominant faction
Of the next republican convention.
It may be necessary. therefore, for
the Democratic convention to seek
some more available candidate than
Mr.. Bryan for the sake of success;
Tor the minority party must be unit
ed to achieve victory over the
party OF great moral ideas, but OF
endless moral transgresslons.

paving and for which bids are being

These gentlemen will be glad to

This is very important
matter to the Ardmore people, and
as Lawton is using every energy
along with us to secure railway con-

could be used greatly to the advan-
tage OF Lawton.
