THE PASSING oE BRYAN

William Jennings Bryan has at last
been repudiated by his party, and In
the home Of his friends at that. For
more than sixteen years he has besD
a dominating influence in the national
Democratic Party Jas well as AMONG
thes Democrats of s his native STATE,
and for at least three national elec!
ltions has been the primary cause {of
the defeat Of that party. An economic
quack, with all kinds Of cures for all
kinds Of ills, he has imposed upon
the Democratic Party as its savior
as It's Moses who was TO lead 1t out
Of It's half-century wanderings in the
wilderness OF POLITICAL abandonment.
But at last the Democrats have had
their eyes opened and instead Of find.
ing in him their Moses they discover
that they have been chasing after an
imitation. .-E
Personally we have always had a
high regard for Mr.. Bryan's many ad-
mlrable qualities. He is an orator
of very great power and as such is
excelled by few He is sincere and
earnest. He believes in himself. He
is no coward. He fights for what he
thinks to be the right even though the
sky were to fall upon him. But he is
not economically sound. His mimi
has been permeated by ideas that do
not appeal as being well.balanced aud
for the good OF the people. He is
cratic, not, Yohhly. consistent and. all
along has allowed himself 10 be forced
into political attitude OF opposition
to progressive ideas simply because ne
happened to.be a Democrat. ~
We are not surprised, therefore,
that he has at last lost his power over
his followers. Nor is It surprising
that his dethronement should come in
his own state. He has jumped from
one economic fallacy to another SO
rapidly that 1t was hard to catch hold
OF him long enough to administer the
knock-out.blow. But It came this
week in the state convention Of the
Nebraska Democrats
Mr.. Bryan in recent years has taken
hold of prohibition as political issue
and he attempted to force this upon
his Democratic friends and neighbors
in Nebraska. But, they would have
none Of 1t. In spite OF his eloquence
in spite Of their knowledge that their
action would be a death.dealing bblow
to him politically as a national lead
er, in spite Of their fond recollections
of the past, they utterly repudiatet
his attempt to force in to their stair
platform county option plank. They
voted him down and wrested from
him his leadership Of the Nebraska
Democrats which he had maintained
for fourteen years. And this they die
after an impassioned appeal from the
silver tongued orator Of the Platte"
This marks the beginning Of the
emu. Bryan as political factor II
