The appearance OF William Jennings
Bryan and possibly Of President Will
son in the campaign in Tennessee this
fall will mean much to the Democratic
ticket. The President is probably the
ablest man in American public or any
other walk Of life, but the most famous
orator and the greatest philosopher in
the world is William Jennings Bryan.
Bryan is the author OF progressiyism in
American politics. He and his journal,
The Commoner, have educated the peo-
pie along these lines. Others have fol-
lowed the Peerless, +" but they all must
bow to him for the initiative Of the great
political issues OF the day and bis twenty
years Of unremitting efforts and glori-
Gus achievements the emancipation OF
national Democracy. Bryan saw his
first great triumph for these principles
in the Baltimore convention, and the
Republican party rent in twain in the
last election over the leading issues.
Bryan has proved his honesty and sim
certify, and in coming to Tennessee the
voters will have no cause for regret.
He will betray no confidence in indors-
ing the Democratic nominee, for he will
never take the stump for any man who
is not honest and true to the people.

ELECTRIC CAR IS

BY G. D. FAlRGRiEVE.
General Sales Manager Anderson
Electric Co.

An important phase or the auto
mobile industry this year is that the
electric pleasure car has come into
+ It's own as never before.
The great increase in the number OF
electrics in use this year over a year
ago. for instance. is proof positive OF
/ their usage confined TO any particular
city OF section OF the country.
In Chicago with its enormous area
and the necessity for long trips back

tries are more IN evidence than In any
other city in the country In hllly
cities like Pittsburgh where II was
once predicted the electric would
never become practical, we see the
streets dotted with electric cars. IN
cities Ike New York where cars have
TO go at brisk pace TO keep up with
the procession, the same thing Is
ttrue.
In Detroit, which boasts OF more
electrics than Chicago. in proportion
10 the population, more than 200 cars
OF our own manufacture are in ser
vice, and Detroit being the center OF
I the automobile industry is generally
considered the most critical market In
the world.
There must be good reasons for the
great vogue OF the electric and there
are. Changes tending toward the
greater practicabiNty dependaeliiT
and economy or electrics have been
coming SD fast that many OF US are
scarcely aware OF them TO the fuir ex-
