Bryan wants him elected, then Woodrow
Wilson Is another dupe Of the faithlesa
Bryan.
Listen to me, please:
Bryan would rather see republicans
than himself chosen president.
AS long as republicans are in the White
House. Bryan is the biggest democrat,
and can coin money on his paper, his
lectures. his newspaper reports and hiS
sermon on Jesus Christ.
If a democrat We're president, he would
necessarily be the chief Of his party, and
