Dryan,r MornI Purposc,

In attempting to explain the hold
William y. Bryan has on the United
States, writer in the London Daily
News says that 1t is moral purpose"
that gives his mind Its simple unity
and conference which has made him the
most powerful popular orator IN the
speaking world
This comes close 10 mn explanation
in full. It is nearer to It than any
which has been before condensed into
a sentence. II moral purpose did not
operate through knowledge, through
growing Intelligence OF the meaning
OF the history OF the world that grows
daily out OF the past into tho, future.
It might result in unity and conference.
without which increasing knowledge
threatens 10 end n brninstorms. But 7
1t would not reach far. It might be
worth more In Its reach than the best
knowledge of leaders such as some OF
those who have attempted to take John
BriEht,s place In England. knowing
more than Bright knew, but laclting
his moral purpose, and SO ending IN
mere incoherence. We have them IN
this country, learning more and more
OF polltics without moral PURPOSE, 10
