Criticizing Bryan.

Cold facts recited from time to
TING by the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch, a purely partisan Democratic
newspaper. in connection with VIII
liam j. Bryan and his relation not
only to the Democratic party but to
the general public as well, are very
displcasing to Democratic parti-
sans, especially is the recital OF
those facts by a Democratic news
paper.
The Times-Dispatch has recently
been besleged with letters begging
st to desist making disclosures and
deductions regarding the public and
political course of Mr.. Bryan and in
reply. although it publishes a part
of the correspondence, the Times
pispatch very pointedly says:
This Is a free country. in which
every man has a right to worship
God according to the dictates of his
own conscience and to follow any
political leader he chooses. This
much assured, we are clearly within
our constitutional rights in saying
from time to time, as the spirit
moves, or as the occasion seems to
require, that we do not think the
lion. William Jennings Bryan has
led his party wisely or well, and
that he has not done anything OF the
least lpeneat to any human being
except himself. OF course, this is
the Individual view of the person
expressing the opinion. Nobody else
is bound to accept it as expressing
his opinion.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1910-12-05


Said an anonymous MftIeF In a
letter received last night: @If you
had half the BRAIN. one quarter the
foresight, one-quarter of5the inter
ests OF the people that Bryan has
you would be much better han you
are. Bryan's mouth has not been
closed and is not likely to be by
such as you. His influence VIII
live for good after your bones are
.rotton.
w are half way inclined to
agree with the views thus SO fore
bly, expressed. If We had one-haif
the money Mr.. Bryan Is said to have
made by reason OF his political
activities, we should be willing 10
give somebody else a chance"
The Times-Dispatch speaks sweil
on the subject and effectively,
though cruelty, ans wer its critics ana
especially impressed is the reading
public with what it says in connec-
tion with what Bryan has reaped
financially from his public areer
at is pleasing to see the courage
shown by the Virginia newspaper
and this reminds the Telegram OF
the fact that there are but few
Democratic newspapers, however
much they are inclined to follow
the course of the Times+Dispatch,
that have the strength of character
to face opposition or adverse CRIT
fcism in this respect. Recently
there was an amusing example here.
A Democratic newspaper set out to
express itself even mildly against
Mr.. Bryan but soon went to cover,
when a few weak protests were sent
in.
