the country would be benefited by the
election of W. J. Bryan. ex-senator VIII
liam A. Clark of Montana said last night
at Chicago that he would take the stump.

him a truly united democracy. To me

and trusts and protected by the republic

government by Law and substituting
therefor a government OF judges II is
sought to make of the judges irrespon-
sibfe despots. and by controlling them
using this despotism in the interest Of
corporate power"
