 What Mobile ought to be was in a measure forecast last, night by the waterway orators ht the Battle House auditorium. Every citizen should have heard the story Of the wealth, indus trial, agricultural and commercial which awaits development along ouF upper water courses.

Mr. Bryan.

Birmingham Ledger.
 Mr. Bryan may be the candidate of the Democratic party again if he wishes 1t. He has majority of the party with him. That is clearly true He has what we would call the medi- cine and he could nominate himself again. if he desires it.
 There has been a minority of the party all the while who did not be- lieve MT. Bryan should be, or could be elected president. There was a large minority this year which at first said it would not follow Mir. Bryan again. They yielded however to give him one more chance. They are alone.
 In another campaign with MT. Bryan as the nominee there would be no pretense of an organized party: There might be a new alignment and a body of western Republicans come into it. Virginia and Georgia were held in line this time by the most con- stant persuasion and Senator Daniel. not a Bryan man, was the strongest influence in holding the state for Bryan.
 This Is the exact state of the party today. It may be different next year. or four years hence. Nobody can foretell. MT. Bryan Is fully conscious of the conditions which cost the party Missouri and Maryland, and which brought down the majority in Ytr- ginia and Georgia to the almost doubtful' line.

 The South has remained true to the party through many dIscourasing years. During this time the South has asked little and received less. It has deferred to the. east and the west, and seen written into the platforms blanks that 1t disapproved and nominations made that it would have preferred not made. Having abundantly demon- strated its loyalty and patriotism in losing campaigns In which At had no directing voice, 1t seems only fair and right that the South should be given the opportunity to direct a campaign of upqualified.
