AN HONEST REPUBLICANS VIEW

The Topeka Mail and Breeze. the
editor of which is a Republican State
office holder, said prior TO the Denver
convention that Bryan would have an
excellent chance TO be elected if the
Denver convention made no mistake
Since the convention, the Mail and
Breeze says:
The man who thinks that the Den.
yer convention was not great con
vention is of course stepped in pref.
udice so that he is not capable of
forming a correct judgment. 1t was
a great convention and formulated one
of the shrewdest platforms that has
ever been promulgated by a political
assembly"
Put the two together and you will
have an honest opinion of a Western
Republican of the chance for Demo
cratic success in this campaign.
