 How do you account for Bryan's third defeat?" he was asked.

It was known from last years experience that twenty-one men representing tenths of me wealth of this country could produce a money panic at wifi. and when those interests threatened a panic if Bryan should be elected, the more timid were driven against their will from our support The same CO., ercion of labor was employed as here tofore.

 What about the parts future7"

 Do you think Bryan will be a can- didate for the Presidency"
 No, Bryan will likely go to the Sem ate and will be a power for good in that body. I am in favor of the South presenting a man in 1912.
