New York World
Returns to the Fold.

The New York World has returned
| to the fold and will advocate with all
its strength the election OF the demo-
cratic ticket on the platform adopted
at the Denver convention.
1t has been evident that the World
| would support the nominees for some
weeks past, but in an editorial ringing
with condemnation of RooseveItian
policies it now states its decision to
rally to the support OF Mr.. Bryan and
Mr. Kern.
This IS gratifying to all democrats.
The Empire State is necessary in the
election of the ticket, not so necessary
however, that the democrats of the en-
tire country must submit to the dicta-
ton of New York, nor so necessary
that, simply to give New York demo-
cratic success, the great middle west
and south should impoverish their
chances by becoming suhservient to
New York's desires. The Journal per-
tinently commented upon the attitude OF
the New York delegation at the Den
yer convention: Tell wild New York"
and it does not now retrench from the
position, that New York's stamp of the
approval need not be upon the action of
the great body of democrats at large, be-
fore national success may be won.
New York has come to the democracy
instead of the party to New York. The
nomination of Bryan by the democrats
at large broke the rule of the New
York leaders, and New York has re-
turned to the fold content with the
lesson taught by the democratic con-
vention.
The World is the last OF the New
York malcontents to definitely prom
Use support to the ticket, and the par
ty will receive the World gladly. The
outlook for victory was never brighter
than this year, but all democrats must
put their shoulders to the wheel to win
There must be no dissention in the
fight between now and November 8,
and the decision of the World to SUD-
port the ticket means that the last dis
senting influence has been removed:
Welcome the Worlds return, and
overlook the egotism expressed in its
announcement. The World has been
guilty of fighting Bryan, and it is
enough that of such an enemy capitu-
lates, and joins in the fight for victory
over greater enemy.
