intensely loyal to the president,
that he embodies to the plain peo-
rle, especially those of them iddle
west, their idea of the attributes
that adorn public position and
that the popular confidence in the
rectitude Of his purposes can
probably never be shaken. Here
ere some of the things he says
about Mr.. Bryan
"He is a powerful and impress
sive factor in the administration,
trying to do his best according to
his limitations.
Gle is a good American with a
far better appreciation of nation
al and international ideals than
vast numbers of his critics.
"And above all he is playing the
game fairly and squarely, pulling
as steady and oar as possible
even though all
the credit sohuld go to the cap
tain and none to him.
While we all poke a little fun
occasionally at the former boy
orator of the Platte, it is just as
we'll to recognize the important
contributions he has made to the
success of the administration.
While the phrase is his chiefs,
his will be recognized as the most
powerful influence in his gener-
alton making for the restoration
of the government to the people. 30
Even that first battle, mistaken as
1T was, may yet be looked on as
one phase of the long fight
against plutocracy, an attack
without discretion, but made
bravely, on the principle that the
enemy was to be assaulted wher-
ever and whenever he showed
himself.
