to Senator La Toilette, who, is rep
resenting the other faction Of the
party to-day That is a cruel threat,
TO be sure; 1t would have been bad
enough to have demanded satisfaction
and restitution. but to tell old Taft
that he will go to La Toilette is adding
injury to insult. This is not all, how

in this Middle West incident there is
hope of another party that will split

LETTING THE DEMOCRACY PASS.

The Montgomery Advertiser submits
this foolish question to Mr.. Bryan:
"Will YOU get out of the way and let
Democracy pass in 1872? VIII he?
Why should he? Has not the Democ-
racy accepted in good faith all that he
has told 1t to do? Has 1t not adopted
all his policies7 Is 1t not pledged TO
him and his ways? Has 1t failed in the
last fifteen years. in one election after
another, and between seasons. to fol
low his leadership? How is he going
TO set out OF the way without taking
the party With him? The only course
left, apparently, is for the party to say
20 Mr.. Bryan: "Thls Is the Democratic
party: It proposes 10 run itself here
after without the least regard to any
thing you may say or do; It does not
wish you to be hanging around any
more; It discharges you from Its SER
vice; II renounces you and ali your
works; It will try TO build UP again
what you have pulled down; go in
peace and Heavens blessings 60 with
you'll" Either that OF the party must
keep on as It has been going to the
end.
AS things now stand. It is not whe-
Their the party shall repudiate Mr..
BRYAN. but whether Mr. Bryan will
repudiate the party. Tired of the con-

that Mr.. Bryan will get out OF the way
and let the Democracy pass in 1912: but
II he shall do so he will take with him
some hundreds OF thousands OF vo.-
ers who have heretofore been aligned
with the Democracy. and, as the
shrewd Abraham Lincoln said when
there was talk OF the South seeding
II we let the South go, where are we
going to get our taxes?"
We have not had any communication
with Mr.. Bryan on the subject, indeed,
he doesn't write 10 US often as he
should; but We would venture 10 saw
for him that, in his opinion. he is lust
