the statement which Mr. Sherman
made in mis- report as to the prohibit

After the bill had been passed Rep

the discovery that the prohibition
against competing or parallel lines
was not in the bill, although Mr.. Sher.
man in a printed report had stated

man was thus caught in the act of at

house were not looking. When dis
covery was made, Mr.. Sherman al
first protested against a reconsidera
ton of the bill so as to include the
language which he had omitted but
was finally forced to yield His omis

MR.. BRYAN'S FITNESS
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

his own country, but have embraced
almost every civilized land
Mr.. Bryan Is an optimist and pro-
gressive. He looks upon the bright
side of things and believes that the
world is growing better. He sees ways
and means by which that betterment
might be advanced. and with all of his
marvellous ability and great force of
character he strives for their accom-
,plishment. He has not labored solely
within the narrow confines of parti-
|sanship. Never has he hesitated to
commend the acts of a republican. adj
ministration wherein he believed them
TO be for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie. His commentator of the good
has been as strong as his denunciation
of the bad. He has. within the past IL
years lived to see some of the impor-
tant fundamental principles for which
he stood become the accepted doc
trines of a party and administration
which, but short time before, had
rejected them and condemned him for
advocating them.
Mr. Bryan's career has demonstrated
that without holding public office man
may gain the very best experience for
the performance of public duty. partic-
ularly when to that experience we add
honesty and sincerity of purpose.
These present the qualifications and
especial fitness of Mr.. Bryan for the
presidency. No man with his heart in
the right place as is Mr. Bryan's with
his hand upon the public pulse. and
with his sympathies for the advance
ment of the welfare of the whole PEG
pie, can fail to achieve signal success
as president. The time has passed
when Mr.. Bryan was wrongfully con
sidered a mere theorist. He is looked
upon now as an intensely practica
man; as man of experience. His 'ad
ministration will be one of progress
along safe lines.

The Misrepresentation of and cow

He will. however, tell all union men
what his conscience dictates TO him
is right. AS president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, he with his
colleagues will give to affiliated and
non-affiliated unions a true account
of his and their striyings with the
two great political parties at their
recent conventions. He will show the
measure of protection that each one
is prepared 10 give against the evils
that have assailed our economic life
by the one-:nan injunction power and
by the application of laws that were
never intended TO be used to destroy
trade unionism. Having done this.
both he and his associates will leave
to the conscience of each union man
as to how he shall mark his ballot
on election day.

Chicago H., Oct 27-When all that
can be said, has been said in the pres
ent campaign, when all the issues
which may honestly cause division
of opinion among thinking men are
set aside, and when the contest is
stripped of all conflicting contentious,
the one paramount fact stands out in
bold relief, that no candidate ever en-
tered the race for the presidency bet
ter fitted to discharge the functions of
that high Office than William Jennings
Bryan. In the first place, Mr. Bryan
is an honest man. He is sincere. Not
even his most bitter political oppon-
ents have ever had the temerity to
sincerity
His life has been clean, his charac-
ter is above reproach. He has lived
in the open; his every act, both in
public and private life, is subject to
the closest scrutiny For IL years he
has occupied the spotlight of publicity
without blinking. He rings true to the
highest,ideals of human life. There is
no stain upon his escutcheon; no skel
etous in his closet He typiiies in the
highest degree the lofty conception OF
American manhood. No citizen in pri
vate life. by precept and example, by
words and deeds, has done more fol
the moral and material uplift of al
the people than has Mr. Bryan
There is no greater student of pc
litical and economic conditions in tn,
United States today than Mr.. Bryan
1t is his knowledge of history coupled
with his keen judgment of men an(
measures which enables him to grasl
and understand present day conditions
His ideals. grounded in human sym
pathy, have been broadened ant
strengthened by travel and study. His
Investigations into social and politica
conditions have not been confined tt
