Does Mr.. Bryan possess the talents of
a harmoniZer? He is on trial now, and
the answer to the question must soon ap-
pear.
He achieved national leadership by a
bold and extreme defiance OF the gold
faction of his party, and four years later
refused to cOnciliate his opponents at any
point They must come to him. and
upoa his terms. Many Of them refused,
and he was again defeated.
When Judge Parker was nominated Mr.
Bryan yielded nothing but acquiescence In
the decision OF the majority. He did
not consider the selection fortunate, and
made no concealment Of his disgust with
the candidates telegram about the finan-
cial plank of the platform.
When he returned from his trip around
the world MIR. Bryan was advised
against declaring for government owner
ship and operation Of railroads. The
party. he was told, was now practically
united, and If no new disturbing issue
were introduced the next presidency would
be gained. Harmony should be the
watchword. He ignored the advice. came
out in the strongest terms for the pro-
scrited issue. and threw even some of
his best friends into cold fits.
But the time for harmony-real har-
mony, spelt with a capital H-has arrived.
Mr.. Bryan will need every vote he can
get. Both factions must be brought to-
gether. Can he turn the trick? II he
yields too much to the Clevelandites. will
not the Bryanites be offended? And un-
less he yields a good deal can the Cleve-
landites be secured?

Where no explosions shall lie known.

Must Face the Issues
This Year.

The New York Evening Post, which
is supporting the republican candi-
date for president, evidently realizes
something of the fight that Mr.. Taft
is going to have if he is elected, for
it says:
The campaign will be difficult. 1t
is absurd to talk of a walkover for
Taft. He himself makes no secret of
his belief that Bryan's chances of cleo
ton are better than they have ever
been before. The republicans will
know that they have been fighting be-
fore the battle is over. They can not
bring out their old bogeys. The coun-
try is not going TO be frightened into
rejecting Bryan
These are significant words, espec-
tally when We realize the source from
which they come.
And the New York newspaper is cor
rect. The republican party has this
year the greatest fight upon its hands
that 1t has had since 1892 and every
intelligent observer knows it.
Whether or not the republican can,
didate is elected depends upon wheth-
er or not the friends of the demo
cratic party can raise a proper cam
paign fund. The republicans have
their money, as they always have it.
and they have got it from the same
sources from which they always get
/ 1t. The democrats have no money
and if they get the money it must
come from the people direct.
With an adequate campaign fund
the prediction of the Post that the
country is not going to be frightened
into rejecting Bryan" will be found
to be true. All that is necessary now
is to keep the republican party from
buying the election of Taft.
