ZIP RRYAN,S EaErIRE

With Election Day only three weeks off. the
one clear fact Of the political situation is that
Mr. Bryan is steadily losing strength as a
Presidential candidate. He is weaker today
than he was a month ago. and he has appar-
emily no reserves on which 10 draw for the
closing weeks Of the canvass
Why has be proved so vulnerable this wear
a q leader and vote getter: The cause is
rot far 20 seek What made him potential in
1896 and 1900 was his uncompromising radical
ism. He was an agitatOr and reyoutionist
advocating policies without regard 10 their
cost 70 the nation and asking votes from no
element which did not accept his views as I'M
contrOrertible and sympathiZe absolutely with
his attempt 10 initiate commodity values by de-
basing the money standard. He was aggres-
sive, consistent and fearless and rode mperi-
ously over the backsliders who wanted in 1900
o. dodge the losing issue Of free silver coinage
He was not willing 10 win the Presidency
through suppression or recantation.
But this year the fatal shadow Of vacliation
has come over his spirit He is more anxious
10 win than 10 be consistent, courageous and
aggressive. Instead Of insisting that the party
platform OF 1903 should he framed so as to re
feet the views which he has publicly expressed.
he had il framed 50 as 10 contain the views
which he considered temporarily popular and
TO omit the views which he considered tenn
porarily unpopular. Then he announced with
the eagerness of a politician relieved Of an
unwelcome burden Of responsibility that he
would be bound 10y the omissions Of the Den
yer platform.
Such an attitude could not attract voters who
had formerly supported him as an outspoken
radical and a high minded foe Of compromise
Ia this campaign he has shown none of his old
dexterity As vote maker because he has tried
TO appease The conservatives without disgust
ing ire radicals, and riding two horses success
fully is not Mr.. Bryans forte. He has taken up
various issues and exploited them half-heart-
edly and now near the close IF the campaign the
public has ceased TO lc9k 10 him for serious
or sustained discussion of any question. He has

The nonpartisan Hughes alliance which has
lust been formed can do very effective work
for the election of Governor Hughes 1t can
reach the independents and encourage them both
by ~ecept and example 10 feel that enthusiasm
does not necessarily unseat the intellect, that
the thoroughgoing advocacy of good cause IS
not necessarily Incompatible with diScriminat-
ing citizenship and that Il man may be a seq
ment Of the public conscience without inevitably
having to be sicked DER with it. The candi-
dacy Of Governor Hughes offers exceptional
opportunity for the independents to forget the
infinite seriousness of their role in politics and
give way 10 their more generous emotions.
For once in their life they are not called upon
10 support the choice of two evils. Do they
realize what that means: No grave. momen-
tous weighing of the counter claims OF political
wickedneSs, No struggles with their con
sciences! No wry faces, no holding Of the nose
and no protests. They can get enthusiastic
over Governor Hughes in the same way the
straight party man is supposed to get enthusiast
tic and without in the least impairing their IRE
proachable political characters Hence loathed
melancholy and the painful duty of deprecating
gross reality. Why in such circumstances as
these there is such thing as making vice of
judicial calm.
Yet the independents are by no means al
ways calm Indignation often gets the better
of them. But they are too One-sided in their
emotions Their Indignation at trifies is the
marvel of the common man. while the sight OF
something good, rarely good, leaves them
strangely calm and unmoved. For Governor
Hughes they have a chance TO yell like men and
let the deep breath into the section Of their
lungs that has stagnated while they have been
making their distasteful choice of evils. Let
them show that they have not made Nil adj
tl,o of
and that they realize there is something else to
good government besides the castigatiOn of par
ties. They will vote for Governor Hughes. We
haven't a doubE But we hope the Hughes ALI
ance will encourage them TO lay aside their op-
Iressive dignity and yell for him. If they vote
for him if they liked it. they may have fur
Their opportunities of the same sort in the future.
and politics may come have some of the joys
for them il has for other mortalS
