furnishes the city with water owns

ABLE DEFENDER OF BRYAN

The Newport News Daily Press
sets forth ably the claims of Bryan
upon the Democratic party and it IS
well for every party man to remem-
Der this when the temptation comes
to criticize the great Neoraskan. Il
says:
William Jennings Bryan did
great service tor the Democratic
party and the country at Baltimore.
He forced the nomination or Mr..
Wilson because he believed that Mr.
Wilson was the only one or the
candidates who could DC elected and
subsequent events have proven that
MS belief was correct Had Champ
Clark been nominated there IS htue
doubt but that Theodore Roosevelt
would now be the PTsSloent-eleCt OF
the United States. Mr.. Bryan
saved the country from that and
enabled the Democratic party TO
ain by forcing the nomination OF
Mr. Wilso- against the wishes OF
the bosses ana re2cuOnsries OF the
DemocaUc patty.
The fight which Mr. Bryan
made at Baltimore won him many
friends and admirers. Il was an
uaseltish fight; a fight that was
made purely In the interest OF the
party ano the country. Can any
OF those who now so readily attack
Mr.. Bryan say thar their friends
were sctua ed by the same lofty
| purpose7 .dr. Bryan and Mr.. Wi.
son were feared then and are feared
now because they are opposed K
the political boss and because thel
Nill 60 their best 10 overthrow thOs

ar Baltimore and Il IS sui the p.aii
issue. We surmise that some thini
that the bosses can control Mr.
Wilson, though upon what the
base such a belief we know nO'
out they fear that they will not .

il is perfectly satisfactory TO most

we will guarantee that four years
