Placing Mr.. Bryan
In Nomination
CONTINUED from page one

Republicans who really desire reform
are powerless; the efforts or the
president have been futile.
The Democratic party must furnish
the leader which present conditions

be a man of wide experience in pub

people know and trust

possesses the necessary qualifications

ership.

stands on every public question. His
genius for statecraft is shown by the
constructive work he has done in
proposing reforms, and by the ability
with which he has fortified his posi-
ton. But We may go further
