Is STRONG APPEAL
sRYAN's SPEECH MASTERPIECE
OF LOGIC.
Fully and ForcibIy Democratic Leader
Points Out Why His Party Should
Be Given Control of Ma
tion's D~estinies.

Mr.. Bryan carries a big stick, too.
But if he speaks softly, he also
speaks forcefully and logically. His
clear advantage over his Republican
opponent was manifested in various
ways in his speech of acceptance.
First of all, he is in complete accord
with his party and its platform. Re-
lieved of all necessity of apologizing
or explaining, and of all occasion for
simplifying, he was able to dismiss d.
rect discussion of the principles to
which the Denver convention happily
committed the party, by saying; Il
indorse it in whole and in part, ana
shall, if elected, regard its declara-
lions az binding upon me"
1t is, of course, Mr.. Bryan's good
fortune that his party has no recent
record, and more good fortune that its
record that is not recent is not an
embarrassing one. But he took no
advantage Of that. He evidenced much
more than the negative virtues of a
critic. He undertook, by exposing the
cant and f1ubdub of the Republican
record, to emphasize the necessity for
the exposition Of antithetical qualities
by the Democrats If they are to regain
and retain the respect and support OF
the people.
Specifically Mr.. Bryan pointed OUT
that the known abuses" referred TO
by Mr.. Taft as matters demanding cor
rection. are the creation and product
of Republican mismanagement or ma
licious management. He covered The
matter of the tariff, campaign contri-
buttons, regulation of railroads n en-
largement of the powers of the inter
state commission in a typl-
cal manner and he showed how the.
Republicans have frustrated all at
tempts to secure the election Of sena-
tors by popular vote; how they nave,
degraded the national house OF repre-,
~sentatives until it is the puppet OF the
speaker. instead of a deliberatiye body.
representative of the people.
1t is easy enough to pick flaws in
the Republican uOCIllAC
weak points in the party's rusty armor,
but it is another thing to ask a triaf
for a party that has been untr1ed dur
ing a period in which thare has been
a marvellous change in economic con-
ditions. 1t is here that Mr.. Bryan
meets the severest test of all. In Ian
guage as simple as it was obviously
sincere, without to extrava-
giant appeal, without passion or pre]u-
dice, with a full sense of the honor
done him and the impending RESPONSE
bility, he asked if, in the light OF the
eloquent facts, Democracy should not
be given the trust to the end that the
wishes of the founders of the repub'
lie may prevail and the rule OF the
people be restored. 1t is a question
only the people can answer.-St. Louis
Republic.

Plans to break up the solid south
are usually announced at about this
stage of the presidential campaign.
Mckinley was going to capture a
southern state or two, and Roosevelt
was going to; and now, of course, Mr..
Taft is having his turn. He knows
what the Republican machine is in the
south. He has publicly declared in
effect that it is made up of men who
hold federal offices, or are looking for
them. and he has denounced this
shadow of a party for falling to win
the respect of the substantial citizens
of the south.
