BRYAN AND TAFT

tary Taft has the Republican NOM
ination sewed up as firmly IN his
vest pocket as Mr.. Bryan has the
Democratic honor.
Upon the Republican side of the
house one hundred and forty-elght
delegates have been selected and Of
that number one hundred and
sixteen have been instructed for the
war secretary while upon the
Democratic SIDE only a few delegates
have been selected and that few
have almost to the man been
Bryan delegates, and in the great
majority of the states the sentiment
Ia so strongly for Bryan that there
seems TO be no question of his
nomination.
The people are to be given the
opportunities to choose between
the man who originated the ideas
and the man who is an understudy
Of the man who stole his ideas of
reforms from the man to whom
they belong. In saying this we are
lot unmindful of the fact that
President Roosevelt and Mr. Bryan
differ very widely 1t is true that
every Sdea of reform which the
president has sought to institute he
adopted from The Commoner, but
he has not adopted all of Bryan's
ideas and therein lies the great and
radical difference.
Another difference between the
two lies in the difference in the way
of dong things. President Roose-
welt has sought to accomplish a
number of reforms. lie has attacked
the railroads, the oil trust, the in
surance trust, the Wall street gam
blers and few other corporations
and has really accomplished very
little in the way of reforms. He
has stirred up great muss among
the moneyed interests and has gone
away and left it, The proximity of
the pres dental election probably
influenced him in some degree,
but had that feature been eliminat-
ed, he would not have been able
to accomplish very much for the
simple reason that he began too
much to make thorough work of
any OF II.
MIR. Bryan is not that kind OF

to task and never giving
up, or starting another until he has

ing. Mayor Johnson began his fight
some years ago with an attack on
the street railroads of Cleveland.
He never let up in his fight and
never started another municipal
reform until he had accomplished
the first. No sooner had he been
successful, in the first than he took
up the tight against the gas COM
pany and the electric light COM
pany and it is safe prediction that
he viii start no other until he
has won these. And what is the re-
suit? lie is doing things.

from whom those ideas were stolen?

The state lost the interest on
$50 900 while Mr.. Green was maxi

The Herald desires to call attention
to the members of the city council that
following the editor of the Democrat

that he has wilfully misrepresented
the light franchise proposition and
absolutely garbled the facts and fig

attention TO the Democrat or meet and
listened to distortion OF facts is not
easily understood. 1t is well that the
