Colonel Bryan took the demo-
cratic platform in 1896 and rebuilt
1T. Then in 1900, he altered the
steering gear and made other i'm
portant changes. He told the rich
men Of the democratic party where
to head in. In 1904 he made other
Important improveme He brought
the democratic party down to date.
For twelve years it was a Bryan par
|ty. In 1908 he was still in control.
In 1912 he bossed the party and
compelled it to nominate Woodrow
Wilson, although Champ Clark had
la majority Of the convention. When
Bryan ceased being an agitator and
entered Wilson's cabinet he was, un-
happy. He had been an agitator so
long he could not quit. The great
Ianti-slavery agitator, Wendell Phil
Hips, could not suspend his agitating
lat the conclusion of the civil war,
lalthough the subjects available for
his use were trifling as compared
with his former endeavors.
Now, Colonel Bryan being once
more an agitator, must deal with
lesser problems. He watches the
daily newspapers for themes, and
when moment arrives when a big
meeting can be held and an agita-
Ition can be pulled off. he is there for
that purpose. Colonel Bryan has not
been brave enough to say word
|about American citizenship. nor
American loyalty. His agitations
for peace have been of such ma
ture as to make him popular with
one of the nations at war. He lays
himself open to rthe charge Of at
tempting to make friends with the
Of the United States. OF
this he may not be guilty. Agitators
usually do their work in hit and
miss manner.
Colonel Bryan, unlike Colonel
Roosevelt, is deficient in executive
ability. He does not enjoy such work.
Colonel Roosevelt can criticize and
also construct. 4
The country is none tse worse for
having these two colonies. We may
be thankful, however, that one OF
them was elected president, and that
the other was three times defeated.
