Take Your Choice,

Below will be seen the beauti-
full harmony OF opinion among
our republican friends:
Mr.. Bryan is a candidate this
year upon a platform that goes
further on the high road to So
cialism than was the case in the
year when Democracy broke
from its moorings and joined
openly with Populism. 1t is a
pity that the Bryan platform
builders did not exhibit the same
courage'as the Socialist party in
its declarations official and semi
official against courts and inJunc
tions. The union labor planks OF
Democracy are concessions to the
class consciousness" which is the
entering wedge for Socialism in
its undiluted form. The wording
of the planks in question is
guarded but the intent is clear.
The labor agitators are satisfied
and this is the best argument that
can be brought forward to bring
discrcdit on the party. The adop-
