After making 81 speeches the other
day William j. Bryan declared that he
felt just as fresh at night as when he
started out in the morning. Nobody
will deny that the Nebraska gentleman
possesses marvellous voice. but there
are others. For instance, in all the
railroad stations of the big cities there
are train annOuncers who make d
every day in the year. There voices
are even stronger than Mr., Bryans
and they talk more distinctly. More-
over. they have great advantage over
Mr. Bryan in that they always stick to
the same story.

In their fight down in Maryland this
year the Democrats are handicapped
by the fact that the leading Democra-
tic paper of that state. the Baltimore
Sun, has repudiated Bryan and Bryan
ism and is vigorously supporting Taft.

Senator Daniel of Virginia, who. like
many other Democrats of the South,
has really no use for Bryan. but is
supporting him this year for the sake

deserving the Bryan cause at this cri-
sis. The Sun is not in a mood t. turn
the other cheek to the smiter in this
campaign and it replies to Senator
Daniel in very effective fashion. start

IF We may be permitted to contrast
the eulogiLm which the senator from
Virginia passes upon Mr.. Bryan at rhe
Baltimore meeting with the languag
he is reported to have used of him and
toward him in a Washington hotel
few months ago. it may occur to some
that it is Mr. DanieI-and not the
Sun who has changed his colors.'
The Maryland paper proceeds to re-
mind the Virginia senator that two
years ago it urged the SOuth-whlch
SUI plies the Democratic party with
electoral votes-to take her righttui
place again in the party leadership,
and that it then advocated the nominal

Governor Montague. It's advice vas

A Great Campaign Poem.

Governor Fort of New Jersey, who
is doing effective work on the stump,
has lapsed into poetry" in some of
his recent speeches. and made great
hit with the following couplet
Bryan is like lightning bug; he hash
any mind:
He ambleS through creation with MS mead
light on behind.
The New York papers in commenting
upon these lines seem to think that
they are Governor Forts own produc-
ton and intimate that a great poet
was spoilt when he went into politics,
but we hardly believe that Governor
Fort is such a plagiarist as to claim
this little gem as his own. Here in
Maine a few weeks ago John Kendrick
Bangs was using these lines. OF at
least lines almost exactly like them.
in each of the effective speeches
which he made in our State campaign
Mr.. Bangs said he did not know the
author of the poem. but declared that
unless somebody else claimed them at
once he should claim them tor him
self. Mr. Bangs version of the i'm
mortal poem in question ran something
AZ. follows, not introducing Bryan's
name as in the Governor Fort version,
but carrying the comparison to Bryan
and to Democrats in general:
the lightning bug is brilliant,
But he hasn't any mind:
