"BRYAN. THE BOY ORATOR OF
THE PLATTE" UNVEILED ~
THE BOY ORATOR. OF THE
MONOCACY.


MONOCACY.
This book by H. +. Bartholomew
might be aptly called How About II
Mr.. Bryan" and certainly II comes
at time when it might well be con-
sidered "A good campaign document
The author reviews the public lie
and work of the peerless me- and
points out many inconsistent turnlngs
and political fip-hops.
Bryan's own arguments In 1870 ana
1900, which made him famous, ana
even his own words are here turned
back 10 him for answer. The gaunt-
let which he himself flung down 10
the Republican party for free silver
''anti-imperialism" and government
ownership and his other will o the
wisp vote bait is handed BACK 10 nm
i'm a convincing manner
Most people have forgotten What
Mr.. Bryan did stand for but not SO
with Mr.. Bartholomew lie femeih-
bers ii all. including the high ex-
plosive arguments that Bryan used
and now he wants an explation, wants
Mr.. BRYAN TO tell him what mas De
come of all that litter OF pups. Dld
he drown them? If SO, Why not say
so. If not. why does be not say
500 Or are they seereted somewhere
to be brought forth at faYorable
opportunity r..
This author declares that the Com
moner has rightly earned the title,
The Chameleon Candidate, ana III
a terse. forceful way, with sledee-
hammer arguments he drives nome
the facts with sharp. pointed spikes
OF wit. satire. epigrams and hard,
bold convincing statements.
Here are few extracts taken from
its pages:
Referring 10 the campaign OF $50,
the author says: Mr. Bryan invaded
the enemy's country with 10 TO l IN
the hollow Of his hand and head.
Again referring 10 the 10 TO | prop
osition. What apology can he now
make for the effort he then made 10
deceive the people?' In your own
language Mr.. Bryan. il il was a good
thing then. would 1t not be good
thing now" If it is a good thing
nov. why don't you say so? II not,
why don't you say so? No hypocrite
ever occupied the big chair at Wash
ington. He pretends to trust the peo-
Ole. but subject to the limitations OF
he Democratic party of which he is
boss.
Speaking of the guaranty TO de-
positors in hanks, he says: Neither
Mr.. Bryan nor any other lawyer in
he country possesses sufficient legal
,cumen TO draft constitutional law,
whereby one bank must be liable for
he unpaid liabilities of another.
Mr.. Bryan's success came too early
n life. He spoiled before he was
natured Mr.. Bryan has returned
nothing but hot air to his large con-
;tituency for the substantial receipts
given him. His attacks on institu-
ions which render substantial re-
.urns for their receipts is indeed
anomalous.
Mr. BRYAN could not conseienciously
support Parker. nor consistently but
h. did so, sneakingly and sullenly
ike an Indian.
RE is a Populist, masquerading as
/ Democrat, and he has not the cour-
tRe 10 say So iiI - ="
.oward.
Democratic platforms are not made
o stand on, but to get in on.
In the St. Louis convention. in 1904
BRYAN likened himself 10 st. Paul.
st. Paul died for his faith, Bryan
sacrificed his faith for office.
There is certainly quite difference
between ST. Paul and st. Bryan.
If the Republican party in national
convention assembled we're to de-
clare that the abolition of slavery was
a mistake, that the Civil war was
failure. and that Abraham Lincoln
was a traitor TO the country, IL would
he no more absurd and wrongfully
than Mr.. Bryan is today
In 1896 the peerless me- was
prophet, priest and king OF the pro-
gressive and militant Democracy.
Today he is the subservient tool OF
the old guard. whose treachery en-
compassed his defeat then and whose
loyalty will insure his failure now.
The style in which the book is
written is pleasing, attractive and
easy TO read. IL will be found help
full by all speakers, committees and
voters generally who want to renew
acquaintance with the "old" Bryan.
who made the unsuccessful runs in
two former campaigns.
