The Drift From BRYAN.

This drift of Democrats away from
Bryan and over to Taft in many of the
southern states has more significance
than may appear on the surface. IL
marks a tendency which is undoubt,
edly in operation all over the country.
While the change of base may not be
great enough to sweep any of the old
southern Democratic Businesses into
the Republican column it will count
for much in the northern and western
states, where there is no negro issue
to hold men in line for ticket whose
head they distrust and whose prtnci-
pies they hate. Hundreds of thousands
of men who voted for Bryan in his
two previous canvasses will be against
