stributions; they are greatly interested in
the bank deposits guaranty issue and
want to hear Mr.. Taft on the subject
they want some assurance that the trusts
are not backing the Republican campaign,
etc. It would be foolish to deceive our
selves into believing that organs speeches
have not made d deep impression. Mr..
Taft must answer them, not content him
self by declaring that Bryan is a menace
to prosperity will not go at all.
Bryan has revealed the. kernel to that
sort Of campaign by saying You cannot
scare d man who is sleeping ON the floor
BY telling him be is about to lose his
bed. Y
Let Him Speak for Hinself.
Complaining that Mr.. Taft is not

ally speak for him, the New York Times,
"a Taft organ, says:
But would 1t not help Mr.. Taft more,
not only in. the West but in the East; If
such things were done not for him, but
by him? Would he not impress himself
upon the country much more sforcibly If
he spoke for himself instead of having
Mr.. Roosevelt continually speak for him7
Consider for a moment the situation and
the behavior Of the two candidates respec-
lively. Mr.. Bryan is in the West, in the
EAST, everywhere, and everywhere seen
and heard. II there is something to be
said he says 1t. He is the most active
and aggressive candidate for the presiden-
icy who ever appeared before the people.
Emphatically he is his own campaign. He
dominates the scene. Behind his conspic-
nous figure one only dimly and now and
then perceives few minor and negligible
Democratic personages.'
