POLITICAL POINTS.

POLITICAL POINTS.
Mr. BRYAN declares that President
Roosevelt's letter indorslng Mr.. Tart is
.sirrelevant and immaterial. That Is
what a troubled lawyer always says OF
hostile testimony which he cannot retute.
Mr.. BRYAN lodged the cameras IN
Baltimore for fear that the photographer
would catch him without his victory ex-
preston" He clearly realizes that his
s.yictory expression won't pass at Its
face value in Maryland.
Mr. Taft believes in revising the tariff
with Judgment. Bryan proposes to re-
wise it with bladgeon.
Reing scared to death and overcontldent
at the Same time is the condition ascrlb-
ed to Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock by
Rrvan ORGANS. Those who have known
Hitchcock any length of time have never
known him to be either.
Even though Mr.. Taft were not to come
to California, there is no DOUBT mat Cal-
ifornia will go to him. Los Ahgeles
Times.
Now that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., has
reached his majority, Taft has two votes
in the Roosevelt family, not counting
Nicholas LongWorth's.
BRYAN is going to visit Judge Parker
and Dave Hill, Once before In Presl-
Dental campaign Bryan visited the sage
of Wolfort's Roost, but nothing happen
ed.
Out in Missouri there is a man who
vowed he would cut neither his beard
nor hair until Bryan is elected. FINE
side attraction for the Nebraskan to take
on his lecture tours next season.
BRYAN claims that twelve years cam
paigning has brought HIM TO the polilI
where he can be trusted According to
Grover Cleveland, Taft reacheo lha'
point about the time Bryan began max
ing speeches.
When BRYAN makes those speeches IN
Georgia someone in the audience may De
indiscreet enough to ask him how ne
stands on the negro question.
.'Shall the people rule!' ASK the
delegates to the Denver convention WHO
ruled that meeting.
Fxnerienced business men say Bryan's
hank deposit plan would seriously reduce
prudence in banking What's little
thing like prudence to Bryan when ne Is
after votes!
Yes Mr.. BRYAN, the people will rule,
~, ~ tha ai' salect one William Howard
Taft for their special agent at Washing
ton.
BRYAN saws his place in history is as
sured. Sure; it will be found IN the
appendix.
Brvan's political principles are like the
price of whale oil--subJect to chahge
withoutnotlce.
Every other parrot in Nebraska is now
screeching ia unison with the big green
one in Lincoln: Shall the people rule!
Mr.. Bryan's sign reads Paramount
Issues Made While You Wait "
Behind the Democracy" says the
Bryan campaign book, ARE the eternal
and Irresistible forces which bring vic
tory to the truth" The Democracy is
bound that these forces shall never over
