By JAMES A..EDGERroN.

BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.
IF William Jennings Bryan never
becomes president Of the United
States it will not be due to lack of
perseverance. He is surely the
most persevering presidential candi-
date that ever came down the political
pike. 1t is not related of him that, like
Robert Bruce, he got his eff at first you
don't succeed try, try again" ideas from
watching a spider. Mr.. Bryan needs
no such extraneous helps. He has a
wellspring Of persistence within him
as big as a mountain freshet in June.
He believes the American people want
him for chief magistrate, and if they
don't get him it will not be through
lack of opportunity. Mere defeats will
never prevent him from giving the de-
luded voters still another chance to
retrieve their past mistakes and de-
part from the error of their ways. 1t
will not be his fault If they still re-
fuse to be saved from their political
sins.
1t has been reported from various
points at which the Nebraskan has re-
Gently spoken that he believes not only
that he will be renominated this year,
but that he will be elected. At Dan
vile, ILL.,, he stated this conviction in
substance and gave it out that his op-
ponent would be your Uncle Joe Can
non, who walks the streets Of Dan
vile when he is not treading on the
necks of PROSTATE congressman. If the
prediction proves true, this land Of the
free and home Of the trusts is in for
the most spectacular. oratorical and
~gesticulatory campaign in the history
Of the world.
Mr.. Bryan has accused President
Roosevelt Of stealing his clothes. but
he would have no complaint of that
sort to make of Speaker Cannon if
