BRYAN's HEINEoUs CRIME.

OAv AN ~ ILL N 4VOO O1U4M1a
The climax of petty and
puerile campaigning has sure
ly been reached when the re-
publican press can find nothing
worse to say about William
]. Bryan than to accuse him
of seeking the presidential
nomination on the democratic.
ticket in order to draw larger
audiences when he lectures
and secure subscriptions to the
c o NJ M oner. Surely such
thoughts are worthy only of
the smallest of minds, eager to
say something detrimental to
the cause of the great Ne
braska leader and unable to find
anything in his private or
public career upon which to
base charges.
The desperate straits in
which the republican party
finds itself at the beginning of
the campaign of 1908 is amply
proven by the character of the
ammunition used in the big
guns and the little ones as
we'll.
