He looked, with his Democracy, like a

least, a possibility Bryan Is, in a
sense, measure OF our progress. For
it isn't Bryan that has changed, lie
is more mature, steadier quieter, but
he is surer, too, and his doctrines are,
at the bottom, the same.
lie has had against him the old lead
ers and their organization, and he has
fought them. But--have you ever
thought OF thisl-he has fought the
Democratic organization, not with or
ganizStion methods, hut with Democ-
racy. Tie has appealed to the members
OF il, to the people themselves, and IL
is their pressure that has counted. Like
Roosevelt and Hughes. LaFollette and
Folk, Bryan has welded the power OF
public opinion. TO have and to hold
this power, DO has gone up and down
this land, day in and day out, year after
year, teaching and preaching, pleading,
debating, defending; he has been watch
ed; criticised, uded; but--best OF all
tests--he has been defeated and defeat
ed and defeated
And he is unchanged. And his organ.
i2ation is unchanged. IL hates and IL
breads MIR. Bryan as much as the "regl-
lar Republicans hate and fear Mr..
Roosevelt. Yet, like Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.,

that he is a loyal leader, sincere, sim
