-Four years ago, wher Parker was
democratic candidate for tho presi-
lily, thereswas no serious objec-
ioin tfenelection of a conservative
many hsral committee. In fact it
-zarsarEs the proper thing for the
democrats to do at that time. But
conditions will be reversed this
year from what they were four years
ago. Bryan is not conservative.
He is crusader against wrong and
the committee this year should be
made up of men who will be heart
and soul in sympathy with their
leader.

Candidates More Than Platforms This
Year,


Both parties will square their ma
tional platforms this year with the
Presidents message which we pub
lish on another page this week. The
democrats will do so because they
want to, and the republicans be.
cause they will not dare to do other
wise. The result will be contest
between candidates and the one
best qualified to carry forward the
work outlined by Roosevelt will be
the favorite. Mr.. Bryan has 70,
many years been identified with the
re forms demanded by the president
and can be depended upon to loyal.
ly support them.

Knocking on Taft.

The New York Press is helping
Taft by opposing him, the same as
the World is helping Bryan with
its opposition. Here is the way the
Press knocks on Taft:
When there is a desperate fight
against him in his own state; when
colored voters are hostile to him on
account Of his part in the Browns
vile case; when labor is embittered
against him on account of his atti-
tude as a Judge toward strikes, and
when there are several men Of APP
proved popularity at the ballot box
contesting the presidential nomina-
ton with him, the time seems hard
ly opportune for Secretary Taft to
make the first test of his strength
with the voters of the United States. +"
