The Baltimore Sun wants to know
if Mr.. Bryan is determined to disrupt
the Democratic party? Well, what
has he been doing for the last fifteen or
| TWENTY years?-Stat Journal.
| He has been flaying the rotten old
republican party and the trusts which
have through the grace of the republi-
can party been robbing the people of
the United States He has been busy
formulating doctrines and plans for
the betteIment of the whole people and
which your party have been assidu-
ously purloining and claiming as your
own. deis the greatest and truest
friend the people of the country have
! today. Though thrice defeated for the
presidency he is easily the biggest man
in the country. He is so far in the lead
of the average republican leader in the
matter of craftsmanship that they are
u lable to appreciate his teaching
There has not been IA reform measure
which your party has endorsed that it
was not driven to endorse by Mr..
Bryan.
! He has literally driven all parties,
by teaching the people their rights,
into reform measures which few
years ago were denounced as re-
evolutionary and tending to anarchy,
and the progressive portion of your
party has not been slow in grasping
the situation. His teachings have split
the republican party and started it on
the downward road to annihilation.
He said years ago that we needed an
increase in the volume of our currency
and your party laughed him to storn
but in few years YOU were convinced
that we needed more money for the
business OF the country and we got it.
He declared for federal income tax
and your party made light of it, and
within ten years two republican
presidents recommended an amend
| ment to the constitution providing for
such tax.
He declared for the election of Unit
ed States senators by direct vote of the
but within few years a publican
senate passed resolution providing
| for constitutional amendment pre-.
viding for that manner of choosing
senators and your party dares not de-
clare against in OH the stump or in its
platform.
Hepreached to the people downward
revision of the tariff and your party
said he wanted to destroy the indus
tries of the country and now the re-
publican party in the great west as
declared that they will have down
ward revision if it destroys the re-
publican party.
He declared for government control
of the railroads and your party called
him q fool but within three years Mr..
] Roosevelt, the greatest man in your
party followed him and the leading
railroad men of the country are even
seeing it the same way.
When he declared tor the initiative
. referendum and the recall you went
frantic. The republican party then
thought 1t saw his finish but even
that has been stolen by republicans
and many of the ablest and best men
of your party are today teaching it as
enthusiastically as Mr.. Bryan ever
did.
Yes, your party has stolen about al
the doctrines of Mr.. Bryan and con.
tinues TO denOunce him as fool and
an anarchist and in the eyes of intel
ligent people they are only making
fools of themselves.

Those admirers of Bill Burns. who
pitched here under Joe Cantillon, will
find reason to be proud of the show
ing made by that twirler since he has
joined the Philadelphia Nationals.

tanned that Burns would never make
good so he let him go to the Phillies.
Yesterday Mr.. Burns went in against
the Chicago Cubs and despite the
fact that Chances men have been do
ing remarkably well of late. he stop
ped them so cold that he is now being
counted upon as a regular pitcher for

Another former Washington player
who, in addition to Bob Unglaub. is

credit for having discovered Walter

being counted upon to land the PEN

TOURING CLUB Of
AMERICA PLACES
BRANCH IN CITY
Vice President Sherman
Honorary Head of Ad-
visory Board.
By HARRY WARD.

Automobile touring in this section of
the country has been given a decided
impetus by the establishment of the
southeastern branch Of the Touring
Club of America in Washington,
Frederick II. Elliott. secretary of the
organization. was in the city yester-
day, and announced the personnel of
the advisory board of the club in the
National Capital. Vice President James
S. Sherman is honorary chairman of
the board, and the members include Gen.
Clarence Edwards. Major A w. Butt.
Logan Waller Page, A. Plat Andrew,
Rudolph Kaufman. E. B. Mclean,
Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph, BenJa-
min Woodruff, Joseph NJ. Stoddard, S.
A. Luttrell. DR.. Ralph Jenkins. T. S.
Johnston, George H. Schutt. NJ. T.
Pollock. and Charles J. Bell. The tour
ing club branch here Is under the su-
pervIsion Of Leroy Mark, and is located
in the Colorado building.
The touring club is making splendid
progress in its work of compiling &C
curate road data for automobile tourists, :"
said Secretary Elliott, and the men,
bership is increasing at a rapid rate"
Mr.. Elliott stated the good roads con-
vention to be held in Richmond, in the
fall. was attracting the attention OF
motorists and other good roads enthu-
siasts all over the country, and prom
ised to be the largest gathering of the
kind ever held in the United States.
Motorists from New York, Boston,
Chicago. and other cities are planning
to drive their cars to the Richmond
convention. Many of them will in
Clud Washington in their itinerary.
George W. Bennett, general sales
manager of the Willys-Overland Com
pany and one of the pioneer automobile
men of the country. is in the city for
a day or two visiting r. c. Smith, pres
ident Of the Overland-Washing Mo-
tor Company.
The automobile season of 1911 has
been a reCord-breaker with our COM
pany," said Mr. Bennett. The last 1911
model will go out of the Toledo factory
on June %. while the Indianapolis fac
tory will complete its last 1Jl1 car on
July %. Our plans for 1872 are well
forward, and call for the production of
q, 900 machines. This IS the same num-
Der we produced this year, which was
an increase of Is per cent over last
year"
Some idea of the enormous productive
capacity of the Toledo plant of the
OVERLAND Company may De gained when
1t is stated that $4,000 worth OF raw
material is used every day in turning
out Overland cars.

Manager Chapman has protested the

keepers. II begins 70 look as though
the leaders contention would be sus-
tained, and that the Bookkrepers will
remain the tailenders for the time
being.
With Traffic out of 1t, it appears
to be a race between the Auditors and
the Treasurers. Both have lost only
one game, and the next meeting be-
tween the two will surely be interest
