Southern Democrats should repudi-
ate Bryan and Byanism. solemnly
declares the Baltimore Sun, one OF
the leading Southern Democratic pa
pcrs of the South, because Organism
Will spell ruination to the southland
well as the rest of the country.
The solid South must break to save
itself.
we do not hesitate to say. as VIC
have said before says the Sun,
that Bryan does not. represent De-
mocracy pure and undehled and the
Denver tag which be wears cannot
alter that fact. Virginia and the
South cannot AFFORD to indorse false
Democracy. The Democracy of the
South Is not represented by Bryan
ism, nor are the political fortunes of
OF that section bound up with or de-
pendent upon the success of Mr..
Bryan On the contrary, the South's
hope of ascendency in the Democratic
party and its prominence and power
in the country depends upon the over
throw OF the wIII-o'-the-wisp who
who Is leading it so far from an
Client Democratic paths by associa-
ting it in the public mind with so
many wild and un-Democratic prop
ositions
The sun has no apologies to mako
for its attitude in this campaign. 1t
Is convinced. and It knows that its
ed in time. that In advocating the
election of Mr.. Taft 1t is really ad-
vocatinE the best and the true in
terests of the South, and that in op-
posing Bryan and Organism 1t is OPP
posing Il candidate whose election
would be fraught with danger to the
South. as well as to every other sec
ton of the country"
The Sun is for Mr.. Taft, therefore.
not only because his election would
promote the prosperity OF the coun-
try in general, but because it would
promote that OF the South in an
especial degree, as compared to the
effect upon 1t of Mr.. BryRn's election.
The South il the section which. more
than any other part of the Union,
needs capital for the development of
of its vast natural resourceS-its
iron. its timber and It's coal. It needs
for it's development and enrichment
capital for the construction of rail-
roads. for the establishment OF cot
ton factories and other industries.
Mr. Taft's election would. in our
judgment, tend to encourage invest
ments in the Suoth. while the cleo
ton OF man who Is Illuminating
against railroads and threatening to
unit industry would IrlBnten Capltal
Into hiding. We believe the election
OF Mr.. Taft would start the wheels of
Southern industry and usher in an
era OF greatly increased Southern
prosperity.
We believe. moreover. that the
downfall OF Organism will be dec
laration OF emancipation for Southern
Democracy and Will set 1t free from
the political thraIdom to which It
has long been subjected. And with
the new era OF Industrial activity
which Mr.. Taft's election will pro-
mote in the South We hope to see Il
new political era in which the De-
mocracv OF the South will take its
rlghtfuI place and claim it's riGhtful
honors in leadership and national in
nuence.
Tho sun is against Mr.. Bryan be-
cause Organism is against the real
interests OF the South. rs we'll as the
interests of the rest OF the country.
Let there be no misunderstanding
The Sun Is for the South's material
as well as political interests, and
nothing will give us greater pleasure
than to see it reach out In an unpre-
cedented way in all the avenues and
markets of the financial. Industrial
and manufacturing world. Bryan
ism will not permit this to occur
