lar out of our pocket.
But after we read about the $4,000 which
Haskell himself had Clipped in, and saw Major
Wetmore's statement that HaskelPs twenty
thousand wouldn't even pay for the cocktails
in this establishment" we decided to keep Our
dollar and send it to convert the heather.
Every little helps,"-but when the Bryan
ties open up in the most expensive hotel in the
West, and gliblv talk about drinking cocktails
to the tune of $4,000, we collapse
Does the author Of the Lecture on the Di-
vinity of Christ know what cocktail is?
Does he know how his committee is behaving
itself?
Does the chronic candidate for the Presi-
dency who butts in upon Peace Congresses to
tell the Savants of the universe that "the re-
ligion of my mother is good enough for me"
know that his chosen representatives are drink
ing the finest liquors in the most liberal guam
titles, at the most extravagant hostelry in the
land?
Does the calculating politician who asked
Alfred Henry Lewis to say in his newspaper
that while other Congressman were holding
Sunday session of Congress he, the pious
Bryan, was going to church, to deliver that
lecture on Christ-does the plous Bryan have
no eyes to see that his chosen committeeman
are making Jest of morality and temperance
and piety?
Heavens! What humbug campaign Dry
ans is! In Maine, Ohio and Indiana he is in
league with the saloons; in every doubtful
state of the Middle West he is confederated
with the negroes in New York he is the ally
of Wall Street and the Tammany toughs; the
Standard Oil Company is his hacker, and SO
are the Sugar Trust and the Tobacco Trust.
Yes the prayer of the Bryan Committee,
contained in the P S. Of its letter, will be
granted We will kindly favor the patriots
'by sending copy of your (our) paper from

good, but we will send it, anyway, It's very

Judge Parker, Dabe Hill and Bryan.


In 1896 it was David Bennett Hill, of New
York, who led the fight for Wall Street in the
Chicago Convention Of the Democratic party.
1t was, in effect, as reply to Hill that Bryan
made his celebrated speech declaring, "You
shall not press down on labors brow this
crown of thorns you shall not cruelty mankind
upon cross of gold"
The crown of thorns was, of course, the
British recommendation which "has brought
other nations into financial servitude to Lon
dom
The cross of gold was, of course, the symbol
of the money trust, the most gigantic of all
trusts" which enables "a few men who hold
the gold to dole it out at such price as they
will to all the other seventy millions of Ameri-
can people"-a financial system more cruel
and heartless than the political domination of
a foreign power"
In 1896, Mr.. Bryan was the dauntless cham
pion of the common people. He vowed, 81
would resist such financial policy with as
much earnestness as I would resist the progress
of an invading army coming to attack our
homes"
Inasmuch as David B. Hill was the leader
of ''this financial policy" which the dauntless
Bryan vowed he would resist, his aversion to
David was extreme.
Said Bryan-of and concerning David
MT. Hill STANDS Tor every IIllllS Ddu IldL N11'
Cleveland stands for, and lacks the brutal
franlness that has given Mr.. Cleveland most
of his popularity"
When Judge Parker was lugged into the race
for the nomination in 1904, one of Bryan's
strongest points against him was that he was
the creature Of David B. Hill.
Bryan declared that if Parker were elected,
Hill would control the administration, and
"that would mean that those who attempted
to reach the White House would have to wade
through peanut shells, knee deep"
Bryan further said:
"But Mr. Hills support, dangerous as it is,
is not SO detrimental to Judge Parker as the
corporate support which is gradually gather
inq around him. There is no doubt that the
corporate interests have understanding with
Judge Parker"
But after the ST. Louis Convention had gone
over to Republican view of the money ques-
ton and Parker was the nominee, the Bryan
of 1906 disappeared from history.
What moral revolution took place in Bryan
during those weeks of silence which followed
the St. Louis Convention? The Bryan who
lowered his flag and gave in his submission
TO Wall Street tried to "save his face" by prom
Using to reorganize the Democratic party, along
reform lines Immediately after the end of that
campaign but the promise had no meaning.
He did not make the slightest attempt to keep
it.
And what do we now see? Bryan is not
only gold standard man, national bank
man, an asset currency man, but has become

the political churn of Dave Fill and Judge Par
kcr. He has gone out of his way to court
favor with them, and both of them are to
make speeches for him.
What is the explanation?
The corporate interests which had an under
standing with Hill and Parker in 1904, have
an understanding with Bryan now.
Edward H. Hartman, one of the chiefcst
of corporation sinners, declares that it makes
no difference to him and his kind which of the
two is elected President-Taft or Bryan.
Of course, it doesn't Bryan's hands are
tied hard and fast. So are Taft's; neither can
do anything which the corporate interests con-
slider harmful.

Mr.. T. E. Watson, Editor The Jefersonian,
Augusta, Ca
Dear Sir: This Committee is under many
obligations to the Democratic Editors of the
United States for the patriotic manner in
which they have responded to Our appeal for
campaign funds Their splendid service in ap-
pealing to the people to contribute their dol
lars through their "favorte paper" will ever be
gratefully remembered by the Democracy Of
the Nation.
In checking up the list of papers now en-.
gagged in raising funds for the National Com
mittce, notice that your paper is not entered
thereon, Perhaps this is due to the fact that
the Finance Committee is not receiving copy,
that being the only means we have of placing
papers on the active list.
Please let us know by enclosed postal what,
if anything is being done through your paper
in the matter of raising funds It is not too
late to start now. Every little helps"

wishing you success, | am,
Very truly yours,

P. S.-Kindly favor Our Committee by send

the Bryanite National Committee take notice
of his existence in that handsome way.
Already, he has politely responded to two
petitions from the Bryanite Finance Commit

feel that he is being treated with distinguished
