man George Frederick Williams OF
Massachusetts,, who was in Sacra-
mento Yesterday on his tour over
the country In behalf of Bryan, de-
clares that the Democratic party will
be overwhelmingly successful this
fall
Il have taken part in all the ma
national political campaigns since
1894" he said, "and | have never
seen Indications which point SO con
yincingly to the success of any po-
ntical party as they point this year
to the success of the Democratic par
ty. firmly believe, from informa-
ton and experience, since the open
ing of the campaign in great many
states in every part of the country
that the election this fall will be
very much as II was four years ago
only it will be exactly reversed. 1t
looks as II Bryans victory over Taft
will be on the same scale as the vic.
tory of Roosevelt over Parker four
years ago.
Relapse OF Republicans
There are all sorts of causes for
this. In the first place there seems
to be general relapse of the Re
publican party from the standards
which they carried before this last
and the reasons for 1t are many. |
will give you some OF them.
First, there is Taft's personal
weakness.
There is Roosevelt's dominion.
his interference as President with
politics.
There is the Brownsville affair
with the colored people.
There is Taft's injunction record
with The labor unions. Add to that
he affront of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor at Chicago and its sue.
cess at Denver.
"The invasion Ct states rights by
President Roosevelt through judicial
construction.
Bad Principles of Selection
The proposition OF the President
to make a great politics: engine out
of the control OF trusts by execu-
tive action as to the reasonableness
Of their restraint of trade. The Pres
ldent has caused alarm oy the ire
mendous power he has usurped in
directing what trusts shall be prose
cute and what trusts shall be ex-
empted from prosecution.
The action of the Democratic
party in proposing free list for
trust products.
"Of all the economic questions by
far the most important and the one
which is literally turning hundreds
of thousands OF voters to Democracy
Is guarantee of bank deposits advo-
Gated by Bryan.
THE dissention ,mong the Repubh
cans The conflict between the radi-
Gals and the tand pat element has
caused a paralyzing division of the
party which Is resulting in an inn
potent campaign, as for example, In
This state.
Corruption Fund Missed
Perhaps, most OF all, the lack of
an enormous corruption fund to
which the Republican politicians
have accustomed themselves to such
a degree that the only message that
they exepct to receive from the be-
ginning of activity is check from
headquarters.
The refusal of the Republican par
" expose their campaign contribu
lions to the people. In contrast to
this the promise of the Democratic
party to let the people know the fl.
nancial influences which are behind
lem.
The terrible suffering of labor from
unemployment The panic and re-
sulting depression, for which the Re-
publican party were clearly respon-
sible.
Above all. the tremendous popu-
arity of Mr.. Bryan and the conf
aence he gained among Republican
voters.
Mr.. Bryan's steady and masterful
management of the Democratic for
yes, as against the feeble and sub
Servient attitude of Mr.. Taft who is
Trying to commend himself to the
people by abdicating all personal
