Minnesota. How did he win? He is a Swede and his fellow Swedes carried him to victory and as the Swedes elected him governor so they would elect him President These same Swedes put Knute Nelson. one of their countrymen, in the United States Senate. The fact is that these republican Swedes, upon state is sues voted for their countrymen for gov ernor, but in a national contest they will almost to a man vote the republican ticket. It is true of many states that there are many voters who, upon state issues vote with the democrats, while they never fail to vote republican in the national election l can point you to scores of instances of this kind right here in Alabama and in this community. Gov erlor Johnson in a national contest could no more carry Minnesota than he could fly by his bootstraps You say that John son will unite the different factions In reply, l will state that the party is al- ready united upon the candidacy of Bry- an. All is harmonious. then what the need of this commotion in a teakettle at the last moment? You say Bryan creates no enthusiasm. In reply I will say that no candidate in the history of our grand cid party has ever aroused greater or more enduring. In my opinion, measured from any standpoint, whether statesman ship, uprightness, ability, availability or popular esteem, William J Bryan is with out a superior, if indeed he has a peer. Roosevelt has stumblingly attempted to execute some of the designs lad down by Bryan on the national trestleboard. Why not place the work in the hands of the great proiector? Sincerely yours,
