with the greatest number OF delegates
elected by the direct primaries which ex-
press the peoples will. Q
" this convention Is progressive con-
venti ion. and " the watchwOrd OF the pro-
Gressive Is Let the people rule. how can
this convention afford 10 reject this candi-
date and deny to the people their right 10
rule.
In this connection this Democrat IN
creased his strength until he received the
votes Of n majority Of the delegates. II
this is a Democratic convention. and " the
motto of the Democracy il the rule OF the
ma iority. how can this convention refuse TO
nominate the man who received for eight
consecutive ballots n Majority OF the votes
OF the convention!
II the Democrats fall to nominate
Champ Clark. they will not only arouse
the resentment of the people OF the ma
tion. but they will make their pretensions
OF pros sressiye principles ridiculous.
II would seem rs IL II had been Mr..
Bryans deliberate intention to destroy
the favorable prospects Of the Democratic
party and 10 prevent the victory for pro-
gressiyc principles which seemed certain.
To accomplish this object Mr.. Bryan
has stopped at nothing. He has not hesi-
tated even to make unwarrantable attacks
upon the integrity cf Champ Clark. a man
who has been his devoted friend for over
eighteen years.
Mr.. Bryan objects to Champ Clark be-
cause "he is harmonizer" Mr.. Bryan
forgcts that there 10 a definite difference
between a harmonizer and q COMPROMISED.
A compromiser is man who sacrifices
his principles in order to attain success.
harmonizer is a man who secures
united support for his principles IN order
to carry them through to success
Mr.. Clark is a harmonizer. and by har-
mony has secured success Tor Democracy
and for progressive principles in The House
OF Representatives. Mr.. lark by harmony
could secure success for the Democracy
and for progressive principles in this Pre- ST.
dental campaign.
Progressive principles can only he put
into practical operation through political
success.
Champ Clark stands and has always
stood for harmonious cooperation in sup
port OF progressive principles
Mr. Bryan stands. and always has stood
for dissensions and defeat.
Mr. Bryan denounces Champ Clark Tor
being willing TO receive the votes OF New
York State.
Vet Mr. Bryan has always sough, the votes
of New York State in his own support
MIR. Bryan declared his opposition to
bosses
Yet Mr.. Bryans opposition has always
been strictly limited to the bosses who
oppose him, Whenever a boss supports
Mr.. bryan, he becomes by tina, act so puri-
fed and sanotifed a. to he worthy OF MIR.
Bryan's approval and association
In 1000 Tammany supported Mr.. BRYAN
and Mr., Bryan accepted that support and
gratefully acknowledged il. All the news

Ing Iammany Hall. in W hich he said Great
Is Tammany and Croker is its prophet"
In iaOA Mr.. Bryan was not candidate
therefore he denounced Mr.. Roger sullivan
upon the floor OF the st, Louis con ven ton
as n train robher.'
In iaos Mr.. Bryan was a candidate and
he went through that campaign arm in
arm with MIR, sullivan and hand in hand
with MIR. Murphy.
Mr.. Bryan had said. then Mr.. Bryan was
no less than an accessory after that fact
and willing receiver Of the stolen goods.
As matter Of fact Mr.. Murphy IL a
boss and Mr., Sullivan is n boss and NJ
Taggat Is boss and ~ "A matter Of
further fact MI. Bryan is n boss az in.
