in the Commoner today:
Watch the personnel of delegations

some of the states of the Mississippi

Mr.. Bryan follows this up with q
charge that Herman Ridder of New
York is travelling in the south working
against the selection of democrats in
structed for Bryan, and adds:
But why should the rank and file OF
democrats leave to their representa-
tives the duty of doing what the ranl
and file should do? Why not trust the
rank and file to say what the party'S
course shall be? So far as Mr. Bryan
is concerned, he has not asked anC
