State Bryan's very good methods
"How can it be done? Firsts
by the selection Of good demo

into. A distinction should be
drawn between the man who
does right under compulsion and
the man who does right because
he wants to. The man who has
to be coerced into the doing of
that which is right is an uncer-
tain quantity at best and SUBJ
tracts from the energy of the

1t is much more difficult to
determine a mans fundamental
bias than it is to measure his
intellectual ability. AS a man
thinketh in his heart so is he
the heart needs to be examined
into more than the head
Is the man in sympathy with
the mass of the people who de-
mand protection of their rights?
Or Is he in sympathy with the
few who clamor for privilege?
And if in sympathy with the
people. is he corruptable? Is he
roof against temptation
the powerful temptations that
one has to resist when he deals
with large affairs? Has he the
moral courage to stand alone. if

scientious man, whose heart is on
the peoples side, can be trustci
to deal with questions dis ,hey
arise; no other man should be
considered. no matter how well
educated or brilliant he may be.
Let each democrat do his
duty and use his influence toward
the selection Of those who can be
trusted"
