The CRY of Politicians

The best service that can be rem
dered for permanent prosperity is tc
rebuke the assumption which certain
politicians continually are seeking to
create in the public mind, that con
tinued prosperity depends on the sue.
cess of a particular political party.
Our form of government contem-
plates changes from time to time, and
nothing is so disastrous as to instill
in the peoples minds the belief that
there is danger to business in chang
ing a portion of the officers of our gov
ernmcnt.
If the people cannot change their
officers without creating a panic, then
the logical step is to go to mon
archy, which, of course, none advo

sTRAus GIVES REASONS
The New York Merchant and Phi

Bryan Means Business
PrOsperity.


Nathan Straus, the great New York
merchant and philanthropist, In all
nouncing his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Bryan, said:
II feel sure that he will be elected,
and ! say, az business man, one who
Ia az much interested perhaps az any,
in the general prosperity Of the coun-
try, as one who 10 bound to feel per-
sonaIIy any lack Of prosperity among
the masses, that | believe his election
will be a benefit to all the country,
and to all Of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict panic
and disaster. as the result of the cleo
ton Of an honest man, chosen by an
honest majority of the people, are mar
row minded and short-sghted, or pre-
tend to believe that which they know
is not true, or they are seeking to OBJ
scure the real and vital issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Bryan will make a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
q president for all of the people, the
rich and the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason | shall work for him
until election and vote for him on
election day."
