sTRAUs GIVES REASONS
Tho New York Merchant and Phi.
lanthropist Declares Election OF
Bryan Means Business


Nathan Straus, the great New York
merchant and philanthrcEist, In an
nouncing his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Bryan, said:
u feel sure that he will be elected,
and | say, as a business man, one who
Is as much Interested perhaps as any,
in the general prosperity Of tho coun-
try, as one who Is bound to feel per
sonaIly any lack of prosperity among
the masses, that believe his election
will be a bensfit to all the country,
and to all Of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict panic
and disas.sr, as the result of this cleo
ton of an honest man, chosen by an
honest majority of the people, are mar
row minded Nand short-sishted, or pre-
tend to believe that which they know
Is not true, or they are seeking to OBJ
scure the real and vital Issues Of the
campaign. MIR. Bryan will make a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
"a president for all Of the people, the
rich and the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason | shall work for him
until election and vote for him on
election day"

The boweevilwhich made such raw
ages in Texas for the past two years,

L will introduce quotations from
letters which l have received from
northern farmers located in those two

done in the way OF growing certain

evil is simply an enemy of the cotton

Mack SEES victory
Democratic National Chairman
Declares That Bryan Will
Garry East and West.
REPORTS SHOW RISING THE
Ohio, Indiana and New York in tic
Democratic Column.

Norman +. Mack, chairman CT tao
democratic national committee: is coz
fdent of the election of Mr. Bryan as
president. In a statement summing
up the situation he said:
Three weeks ago 1t was apparent
that the tide had turned toward Ds.-
mocracy. and that every outward evil
dence pointed to Democratic victory
in November. The situation is far bet
Tor now than then, and am confident
!. the belief that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president. In fact, the cam
paign, from the Democratic viewpoint,
has steadily improved with each Site
ceeding week. AS Mr.. Bryan has pre-
scented the issues in various sections
OF the country, the people have become
more and more convinced that his
election is for the permanent pros
psrity and best interests of the nation.
pOf the many reports have received
from the various states there has not
been one discouraging to our cause. On
the other hand, all OF our information
has Indicated that there will be re-
markable decrease In the Republican
vote, and this statement applies alike
to the banner Republican state of
Pennsylvania as well Ito states like
New York, Ohio, and Indiana Mr..
Bryan will not only receive the major
ity of the electoral vote, but one of the
greatest popular votes ever given o
candidate.
IS Says Fight Is Won.
1.-THE fight is won, but we must keep
everlastingly at 1t for the remaining
two weeks OF the campaign. Cursre-
ports have been of such an encourag-
ing nature that have at times had
fears least some of those on duty
would, in their enthusiasm, let up in
the fight. and my parting word to those
at headquarters Is that they continue
their efforts just as aggressiyely as ii
the contest had to be won in the do
clining days of the campaign.
THE Democratic party has greater
membership than the Republican party.
Tile only. question with us in recent
years has been to get our folas to-
gether In harmonious and united pha-
lanx. do not believe there is q Dem
ocrat in the entire country who is out
side of the breastworks in this cam
pa!gn. and that is the greatest reason
to my mind why Mr.. Bryan will be
inaugurated president on March 4 next.
will not attempt to give figures, but
will say now. that New York, Ohio, and
Indiana are Democratic this year. and
my prediction does not take Into con
sideration a number of other states

"Let the people rule" was not coined
by Mr.. Bryan. Like the "cross of
gold" and the "crOwn of thOrns" it is
not original with the Great Repudiator
of His Own Theories. In 1924, when
jackson was q candidate for President
the first time, he shouted on the stump,
probably rs loud As Bryan does now.
"Let the people rule!" And the peo-
pie did rule. They defeated jackson
and elected John Quincy Adams.
Four years later, the people ruled
again, and elected jackson. Then the
rule of the people ceased for eight
years and jackson ruled. During his
administration he proclaimed what has
since become dear to every Democratic
heart, ito the victor belongs the spoils. "
That's why Democrats always cele.
brate the birthday of "Old Hickory"
Jackson, not Jefferson, was the real
founder of the Democratic party. 1t
was not until after the civil war that
Jefferson was alluded to with respect
by Democrats especially southern
Democrats regarded him As an
abolitionist and a foe of slavery and
the slave traffic.
The Columbus journal., 1908-09-16

When q Democratic orator desires
to strengthen any question he attempts
to discuss he frequently quotes, OF
misquotes, Abraham Lincoln. Just
now there comes from Democratic
sources the statement that Lincoln
was not a protectionist, but favored
tariff for revenue only. Those who
are reasonably familiar with the polit'
ical history Of Lincoln before the War
of the Rebellion know that his tariff
views have been misstated by the
Bryanites. On March 1, 1S4S, at q
Wing meeting held in Springfield,
Lincoln introduced several resolutions;
one of them related to the tariff, and
was as follows:
Resolved, That tariff Of duties on
imported goods, producing sufficient
revenue for the payment Of the neces-
ssry expenditures Of the National Gov
eminent, and 20 adjusted as to protect
American industry. is indispensably
necessary to the prosperity of the Amer
lean people.
Doesn't read like the tariff plank in
the Denver platform, does it?
