W.J. BRYAN SEES
 END ID BOSSES
The Presidential Primary Will Let People Select Their Own Candi- dates, Pennsylvania Legis-
 latorS Are Told.

Harrisburg. Pa, May 14.-Secre- tary of State Bryan addressed the Pennsylvania legislature yesterday on the distinction between democ- racy and aristocracy, He predicted that before another general cleo ton the presidential primary will be so general that there will be no need to hold national conventions, and presidential nominees will not be named by party leaders nor by bosses, but by the people.
 Secretary Bryan came to speak at the Jefferson anniversary dinner of theN Central Democratic Club of Harrisburg, and was invited to ad- dress the legislature. He told the lawmakers he desired to talk of fundamental ideas that are apprO- priate at this time
 Defines the Two Parties.
 Jefferson a century ago spoke of two parties" he said, "one was the Democratic party and the other the aristocratic party. The Democrat ic party is that party which tries to bring the government near the people and the ariStocratic party is that which desires to restrain and obstruct popular government.
 Tt is important to know whether the legislative representative is holding to the democratic idea, or to the aristocratic idea. It is a settled principle of this country that a platform is binding upon every man that runs on that plat form. Some men violate their platform because they cannot vio- late their conscience. No man should violate his conscience, but that does not mean that he should violate his party platform. It means his conscience should begin to work before he is elected and not afteTward.
 If They Violate Pledges.
 "A man who violates party platform, and betrays his party and his people, is a criminal worse than the man who embezzles money.
 Let me tell you something else. The day of the boss is gone. The people will write their own plat forms hereafter and send their own representatives to the legislative halls. We have seen the last of the great national conventions. I predict that before another presi- dential election the presidential primary will become so general that the presidential candidates will be selected not by the party boss, nor party leaders, but by the people"
 Referring to the factional quar- rel in the Republican party last year, the secretary of state de- clared there is no need for a Pro- gressive party.
 Where Progressives Should Aid.
 If the Progressives stand for principal MT. Bryan said, they will stand with the Democratic party. If the Progressives feel they can help the country they should help the Democratic party, and not stand aside and antagonize it. The progressives made their fight for progressive measures. Where were the Progressives when the Demo- cratic party years ago made it's fight against Wall Street donina- tion?"

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrences of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain codine, morphine,
heroin and other sedatives when you
have a cough or cold. An expectorant
like Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
what is needed. That cleans out the
culture beds or breeding places for
the germs of pneumonia and other
germ diseases. That is why pneu-
