they seem worthy of reproduction
The letters are as follows: =
"Dellver Us From Bryan"
To the Editor al The World:
The World characterizes Bryan's &C.
tion in the Haskell matter us a sorry
blunder. If The World, after twelve
Years experience Of Bryan, looks for
anything but plumbers from him, it
must be extremely optimistic. Nearly
all his theories are so illogical and
SO supremely ridiculous that they
Will not stand criticism. Why does
he not answer Hughes questions about
the proposed regulation of trusts? /
can only infer that he is unable to
do so, as he is ready to answer some
people right away. In my opinion he
falls to measure up to the presidential
standard. and for one should be scr.
ry to see him in the Office that has been
held by such men as Washington: JEFF.
ferson, Lincoln, Mckinley and Roose.
Walt. To use the homely smile. he
would be like "a pea in wagon

by the company he keeps. and when
we see such men us Tom Taggart,
"Fingy" Corners, Pat McCarren, &C.,

malodorous stencn Of Tammany, then
we are apt to doubt his high.aown
professions OF morality, and so say,
may the Lord deliver us from Bryan.

Would they repeal them in toto as

Where do you stand on the question

Would you repeal the two cent fare
