He declares that Democrats everywhere
should scrutinize every candidate who has money
TO spend for his campaign.
Mr. Bryan declares that pure Democrats. those
who stand for the policies of democracy and those
who will for those policies, should be placed
n Congress. This is essential. he says, the
ultimate success OF the Democratic party.

too soon to select candidates for Congress
about a year the campaign will be on, and upon
that campaign will largely depend the hope Of the
party in 1872. Let those Democrats who believe in
pure and undefiled Democracy get together in each
district and pick out a Democrat who cannot be
bought or frightened. The trusts have stealthly
secured control of some of the Congressman who
were elected Democrats. and they will have the
influence of the trusts in securing a renomna-
lion. The trusts very well afford 10 put up the
