Th- State D.:nxratic Convention


The State Democratic Conven-
tion has passed into history. Mr.
Bryan was nominated Of course:
there was NJ visible opposition to
his nomination and the delegates
ID Denver were instructed to vote
for Bryan FIRST. last and all the
time This shows that Mis-
sis !ppi believes in the integrity
ana fitness of this great man. 1t
ha, been said 5y some that be-
cause Mr. Bryan has fail ID to win,
that for this reason We should try
some one else. Now this is alb
suri. NJ man doubts Mr.. Bry-
ans ability or integrity, everyone
comedies that he is one Of the
cleanest AMI ablest men of mod
ern times and Furthermore. it is
conceded that il elected he would
make 4 great president. but the
fact i. "they say" is thar he has
failed to win. FJr what reason?
Simply because he failed to get
the requisite number of votes.
This was no fault OF Mr.. Bry-
ans and for this reason the people
are to blame and not Mr.. Bryan.
There is no clemen; in Mr.. Bry-
ans makeup that units him in
the least for the presidency, but
on the contrary he he has every
element that goes TO makeup this
great official. II the party can
win at all it can win with Bryan.
There are no others that will I'll
the place so well. The only diff
ficulty with the Democratic party
! is that it "always acts the fool at
the wrong time" Dissensions
among the members gives a
chance for the enemy, and of
curse they take this, walk in and
get the spoils. The Democrats
throughout the land should work
shoulder to shoulder. the time is
ripe for change. II We can win
at all it must be by conservative
work and strong pull all jogeth-
er. the outlook is promising and
We hope 10 win. The State Con-
yention was clear and out spoken
as to the nominee, every State
should be so. Nothing unusual
occurred in the State Convention
Except that there was an under
current of cheap politics as to
some phases OF the meeting.
Small politicians are always ready
to do some little mean work
Nardaman, Williams, McLaurin,
Noel, Lowry and Longino were
sent as delegates from the State
at-large to Denver. This was a
good selection. Mississippi may
feel assured that at Denver her
interests will be well represented.
