BRYAN Is Still Himself,

Bryan is still himself. He does not
regard expediency. He might let up
on his fight against Guffey and Sulli-
van, and be the big man in the demo-
cratic party, but he insists on hewing
to the line. Politicians deplore the
tendency, but there are lots of COM
mon folks who admire him the more
for 1t, and who had rather march to
defeat under his banner than to be of
a victorious army which had gained
its battles by smoothing over and
ignoring what they condemn In con-
science as wrong. Bryan is not
presidential candidate, and he is in
defeat at the hands of the big politi.
clans. Yet he is the really great man
in the party, and the salt which pre-.
serves its SAVIOR, with many thousands
who retain allegiance for the reason
that Bryan guides its destinies.-Tem-
Pile Telegram.
