BRYAN'S HOPE

"Mr. Bryan appears to believe con-
fidently that he will be elected this
year" says the Kansas City Star.
There is no doubt that the republican
congress has done great deal to
strengthen him in that conviction"
And for once the Star is at least partly
right. But that newspaper cannot be
expected to tell the whole truth, even
though it tells a fraction of it.
Not only has the republican congress
done a great deal to insure the election
of Mr.. Bryan, but the republican presi-
dent seems to have made Mr.. Bryan's
success an absolute certainty.
If there has been one factor in our
recent political life more productive of
the democratic successes which have
come and which are yet to be accom-
plished than any other, it is the big
Stick" and the my policies" of
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is possible that
the folly of the republican congress
might have been overcome by clever
generalship on the part Of the party
leaders; but with Roosevelt assailing the
business interests like Il mailman, de-
StrOying confidence and creating dis
trust, sending railways into the hands
of receivers and closing factories and
shops, republican success in the Novem-
Der elections would appear to be an
utter impossibility.
The Indictment against congress is
that, like other republican bodies it has
been wasteful and extravaganza and that
when it was not dominated by Theodore
Roosevelt, it was doing the bidding of
Joseph &. Cannon. It's sins are those
of both omission and commission, but
beside those of Theodore Roosevelt, the
mailman and the wrecker, they pale
into insignificance. Where congress
intcrpoScd Il stone in the pathway of
prosperity, Roosevelt digged ditch.
1t is true that Mr. Bryan expects to
be elected. 1t is equally true that the
firm foundation for that hope was begun
10y congress and completed by THEODORE
Roosevelt. Again it is true that if the
people of the United States take council
of their better Judgment, Mr.. Bryan's
hopes and expectations will he realized
