Washington. June 7-(S2eciaD-
Senator James X. Jones OF Arkansas,
who died suddenly in Washington
on Monday last, was a true democrat
and progressive democrat Nobody
fought more intelligently and with
more determination for the cause OF
real democracy in 1896 and in 1900
than he. 1t * perfectly true that he
went to the 1896 convention as a
democrat as a bimctallist and not at
all as a Bryan man But he was the
first OF the leaders to recognize the
strength of Bryan and to urge his
nomination Ile never ialtercd IN
that faith up TO the day of his death
He had much to do with organizing
the sentiment for bimetalism which
resulted in the magnificent campaign
of 1896 But he was FOR the issue
rather than for the man. And indeed
the man did not appear until the
democratic convention was well or
ganized Senator Jones went to that
convention as champion and pro-
ponent OF Richard =. Bland and only
the stirring oratory OF Mr.. Bryans
famous speech brought him into line
with what has since proved to be the
dominant element of the democratic
party. This is not any sort OF criti-
cism upon Senator Jones. lie was
the first to recognize the force and
the ability OF Mr.. Bryan. He was
the man who urged that the Bryan
nomination should be made imme
diately after the speech, to which Mr.
/ Bryan responded that II his boom
would not last twenty-four hours, II
would not last until November I'm
mediately after the convention Mr.
Bryan asked Senator Jones to take
charge of his campaign, to become
chairman of the national committee
This ne did, and the men who know
best about the work he performed II
that campaign and in the 1900 cam
paign are the men who sorrow mos
over the fact that now with a chanc,
of winning, with an opportunity o
building on the foundation that h,
laid, he will not be able to witness
success.
