"isr. Bryan Is a bit sensitive because re-
publicans are prophesying-not only repub-
Leans, but democrats, too-that Il he is
elected It will retard business and that II
the republican ticket is elected 1t will i'm
prove business. He says that is offering
bribery to working men. 1t is not offering
bribery. II is merely stating a fact. and It
is a fact that working men ought to know
as well as business men. Mr.. Bryans cleo
ton would be a menace to prosperity. We
may not II he is elected, expect that busl-
ness will be resumed with that flow and
that current of prosperity that we have
had for the last eleven years"

years and the previous administration o
