THE BRYAN oNTao

Mr.. Bryan has again displayed his
remarkable power OF personal mag
netIsm and leadership. Defeated and
rejected by the Baltimore convention
in his candidacy for temporary chair
man. he continues the fight. and in
less than forty-eight hours practically
has the convention at his command.
At his mere suggestion, the regular
program OF the convention is changed
so that nominations are made before
the platform is prepared. The duty OF
preparing the platform is practically
handed over to him. He contempt
uously declines the craftsmanship OF
the committee on resolutions. and
finally launches in the convention d
piece Of audacity unequalled in the
history OF national politics.
In the resolution naming J. p. Nor

mont as undesirable citizens" and
practically. demanding that the two
latter be expelled from the convention.
he goes n step farther in ~audacious
demagoguery than ever before at
tempted in a public body In the United
States. That he was able by his own
efforts TO carry this resolution through
the convention was remarkable evi.
dence Of his personal power over the
delegates. There is no man in the
Democratic party strong enough to
stand against VIM. ]. Bryan. There
is no combination OF forces able to
resist him. The Baltimore convention
has become a Bryan convention. pure
and simple. Its nominee will almost

whether the nominee is his personal
choice or not. he is committed BY the
action OF the convention 10 the rank.
