Comparison IL inevitable, In the light
Of the interview with Mr.. Bryan 10.
The World, between the Democrat
who has three times been nominated
for the Presidency and the Republican
who is seeking tiard term.
In number of their personal doct-
rines Mr.. Bryan and Mr., Roosevelt are
IN general sympathy. Certain radical
ideas Mr.. Roosevelt has appropriated
without credit from Mr.. Bryan, whom
he used to denouaee as windy but
amiabie demagogue,u and labelled
them as his own In the hope OF regain
ing office. They are alike in calling
themselves progressives, but Mr.. Bry-
an is fighting only for principles, while
NJ, Roosevelt is fighting for third
term.
Mr.. Bryan would be satisfied with
the nomination of Democrat whose
p aiiicaI views are accepts Bile to him.
Mr.. Roosevelt would be satisfied with
the nomieatlon of no Republican but
himself. Mr.. Bryan places the cause
above self. With Mr.. Roosevelt 1.-THE
cause is T.
On the whole, Mr. Bryan shows that
he is disposed TO be more reasonable
than on certain occasions ia the past
and that in general way be is work
ing for party harmony. For definite
progressive policies he is determined
to fight on the floor of the convention.
He will not surrender his individual
con victions, but be does not pose as
dictator to his party who must rule or
ruin. He will be always with the pro-
gressives against any candidatehe con-
siders reactionary, but he proposes
to remain neutral where progressive
candidates are concerned.
While still holding firm to his faith
in the initiative and referendum, Mr..
Bryan makes it clear that they should
not go into the national platform, be
cause they are State issues. In this
way sgain he helps 10 remove difficult
les from the future pathway of his
party. Experiments which separate
States may choose TO try for themselves
they cannot and should not seek to
put to wider application.
In still another respect Mr.. Bryan
presents striking contrast with Mr.
Roos evelt. There have been periods
in his career when his interest in tariff
reform has been slack, but he is alive
to the prest importance of the issue.
He does not take refuge in vague gen
civilizations about how in theory the
tariff might be revised, but he has pre-
cise opinions to offer al TO tariff bills
actually before Congress at this NOM
ent. AS progressive, as foe to pri-
vilege. he states exactly how and
where he would strike off unjust or
excessive duties for the benefit OF the
people; he is for or against measures
that he names, ana he dares to offend
special interests of his own locality.
If Mr.. Roosevelt could ever have
brought himself TO show the same
courage OF frankhe-s when he was
President, before now real tariff revi-
sion might have been well under way
or If at the present time he dared to go
az far as the Western Republican IN
surgents in the House and Senate, he
would at least be dealing IN straight
forward fashion with the voters whose
support he is soliciting in his chase
after delegates at Chicago.
