BTyan'S JanuS-Faced Campaign.

We wait in vain for adequate express
sion from Mr.. Bryan about his plans
for putting into effect those features of
his platform program which relate to
control Of the railroads
Mr. Bryan is not talking about these
things except in the most vague gener-
alities He is silent about them, it is
now manifest, because that is part of
his double-faced political program. Mr..
Bryan is talking in fashion which he
hopes will not offend any particular
class of voters, but which he trusts viii
draw to him all those elements which,
being disafTected in various ways, may
be Influenced by yagaries Of general
criticism.
1t is not Mr.. Bryan's purpose, for in
stance, mduly to offend the railroad
labor vote. So he does not talk about
the platforms declaration in favor of a
physical valuation of the railroads. 1t
is no part of his campaigning scheme
to drive away from his support the class
of astute managers Of great interests,
who believe it might stop all pro
gressive legislation TO have the Admin
istration divided. He is very quiet
about appraising the railroads, because
that proposal is calculated to give con-
Germ to some powerful influences, and
he wants them to forget that it is in
his platform.
If Mr. Bryan is thus suppressing dis
cussion of things in his platform in
order TO avoid ofTepse to the interests,
why is it not fair to assume that in
making his platform he suppressed still
other things? Mr.. Bryan said through
his Denver resolutions committee that
he favored valuation of the railroads /;
but he has seemed anxious 20 have the
expression forgotten Likewise, Mr..
Bryan said in Madison Square Garden
that he believed we should come TO
Government ownership. If he is keep
ing still about valuation merely in
order TO get votes, why is it not to be
assumed he is keeping still about Gov
eminent ownership for the same rea-
son? Has Mr.. Bryan changed his
mind about a valuation since the plat
form was madeg lie did change his
mind, apparently, about Government
ownership, after making the Madison
Square declaration for it.
Mr. Bryan has said he is governed
by the omissions of his platform. But
that is impossible. Mr.. Bryan believes
that administrative supervision of rail
roads will fail, and that Government
ownership viii then become inevitable.
Believing this, it is an unavoidable
conclusion that measures of regulation
pressed under his Administration viii
either be faint-hearted and ineffective,
or else that they will be such as would
pave the way to what he believes is
the inevitable end: Government own
ership.
Mr. Bryan has almost forgotten the
railroad in this campaign He acts as
If he were afraid of the cars.
The Republican party is squarely
committed to a definite policy on this
question. 1t is a policy which seeks
effective regulation, but which aims to
avoid Government ownership. Every
body knows it will continue pursuing
that policy. Nobody knows what Mr..
Bryan viii do.
