DISREGARD BRYAN

Since Congress assembled the DEM
ocrats in the Senate and House have
disregarded William J. Bryan in four
significant contests where he has in
terfered. Mr.. Bryan's first fight was
to defeat Representative Fitzgerald
for chairman of the House Committee
on Appropriations. Mr.. Fitzgerald
won. MIR. Bryan followed this with
an effort to defeat Senator Martin for
tho leadership of the Senate minority.
Mr. Bryan went so far in this contest
as to visit number of Senators to
make his formal protest. The third
contest was with Mr.. Underwood,
House Leader over the wool schedule.
Mr. Bryan held out for free raw wool.
Mr. Underwood was supported by the
house. Mr.. Bryan charged him with
being a friend Of steel In reply to
this charge Mr.. Underwood denounced
Mr.. Bryan on the floor Of the House.
MIR Bryan supported Mir. Henry for
a special committee to investigate the
money trust. Mr.. Underwood stood
out for an investigation by the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
and won. Mr.. Bryan won in the fight
for the Cullop amendment requiring
the President to make public the in
dorsements for judges. But, not salts
fed with this victory he put those
Democrats opposing the amendment
on the blacklist. For blacklisting Rep
resentative Dies, OF Texas, he was ex
coriatcd in the House Saturday and
termed the evil genius Of the Demo-
cratic party.

Gary, Chairman of the Board of the

part of speech he delivered early
Sunday morning to the New York Le-
high Club. Gary made it very plain
that the people generally arc "evinc-
ing readiness to take things into
their own hands" He also stated
that the spirit Of unrest was not con
fined to the United States, but was
world wide "Things are being said"

that with these vital witnesses going

influences and the detectives and Ollie
crs hampc:cd in getting about, the
case might have failed and one Of the
West murdcrcrS in history might
have gone free. Fortunately the au-
thoriticS took chance: but the local
authorities Of many counties, espcci-
ally those remote from the capital,
would not dare take the chance. In
Alexandria, for instance, the Common
wealth Attorney is not allowed a sin

urgent is the need. The Roanoke
Evening News asks the question if it
