BRYAN AND BRYANISM

"A Bryan Democrat" writing to
the New York sun from Natick.
/ Mass, thus protests against the
proposition that Mr. Bryan surren-
der tine party leadership.
Mr.. Bryan by the events OF the

certain relation with about six mil
lion voters. a relation which Is very
real. very vital, and largely personal
When ii comes 10 the question OF

conceivable right to ignore this re-
IationShip. Mr. Bryan either by his
own volition or by the force of GER
cumstances has been placed I'm no
sition where these millions of men
look to him for the accomplishment
OF their political aspirations and
ideals. This being true. Mr.. Bry-

personally that Mr.. Bryan would he
a traitor to the cause he has repre-
scented if he should listen 20 the
advice which is so freely offered and
decline in advance TO accept the
nomination. In other words Mr.
Bryan's personal feelings. ambitions
or inclination do not enter into the
question at all. but simply his duty
to the men h has represented. And
from this point of view his conduct
in 1904 may be open to criticism.
but his conduct in 1908 is not"
Commenting on this letter the

Mr.. Bryan's conduct in 1904 was

1t soon became apparent. how
ever that the party needed much
