II Henry Watterson has been giving good
J, Iadvice to Colonel William Jennings
Il he would win great applause it he
& would bury the past and join with the
Eastern Democrats in winning vic
tory under the leadership Of some one
who opposed the party in 1896. AT
8 least that is what Mr.. Bryan made out
3 of the Kentuckian's suggestion. He
A does not think that it Is necessary to
/. discuss the subject at this time, bue
& says IN the current number OF The
Commoner:
In the meantime Mr.. Watterson
lmight use some of his energy IN try
I ing to persuade those who have de-
4 fcated the party to consider the Wis
dom of supporting n candidate against
i whom the charge OF disloyalty cannot

there Is no better time than the pres
ent to subscribe to The Commoner-
and the lecture platform must be re-.
glrded in any and all efforts that
may be made to get him away from
!; the political field.
Mr.. Watterson, who is now getting
along in years, would like 10 see an
other Democratic President before he
goes hence to be some more, and IN
. perfectly good faith suggests that Mr.
Bryan might let the eyes of this old
and faithful servant Of the party in
: all It's ups and downs gaze once again
& upon reunited country by consent
ing to bury the past; and Mr.. Bryan
saith unto him: 1T ought to be possi-
BILE to find an available man among the
six and u half millions who supported
4 the ticket in 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1905"
4 We think so, too; but how much Mr..
4 Bryan thinks so depends upon his con-
struction OF the term available man.
If this mean that this available man"
is to be in all his principles" and
lvagaries just like Mr.. Bryan, which is
to say Mr.. Bryan himself for there Is
none other under Heaven like himself
4 but himself. then the game might as
/ well be called off before II begins.

i who supported the ticket in all the
years named, and Woodrow Wilson

sI,lieved in him or in Ills ways. but SIM
lply because they felt 1t to be their
i duty to stick to the ticket. If all the
A gpeople who voted for Mr., Bryan the
three times he ran for President, only
because he was the nominee OF the
party, had voted against him. instead
of six and q half millions, he would
mot have had more than the half Of
!. that number to his credit. We wish
i when he has time to discuss the sub
\ ject he would consider this feature
d of it. In the meantime, we would
i suggest that Mr.. Watterson discon-
Eltinue his efforts at fraternization.}
