MR.. eRYAN'S POSITION

Following the result of the
state primary in Nebraska to Sc
lect delegates at large to the
democratic national convention
in St. Louis, nobody can doubt
the attitude of the country with
reference to our great Apostle of
Peace, w. j. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan ran sixth and will
not be a delegate to the national
convention. For the first time
in a quarter of a century the sill
yer tongued orator of the west
will not be heard on the floor of
national convention of his party.
The result of the election in Ne
braska cannot be taken as re-
buke to this Apostle of Peace,
but as a condemnation of his
policy in fighting preparedness
as advocated by our national adj
ministration. The country is full
of the advocates of peace, but
few are found, though, who are
lacking in that sound discretion
which would prompt a man of
judgment Or a set of men en-
trusted with the great duty of
defending this country from the
dangers that beset it, from max
ing every necessary preparation
to meet any eventuality.
Just what Mr.. Rryan's course
during the coming campaign will
be cannot be forecasted. Willie
be willing to trail in the ranks of
the party in which he has so long
been a leader? He is not in har
mony with it and it would no
doubt be a severe test of his
pride to now support Mr.. Wilson.
He could find no comfort among
the republicans. His only field
of expartition where he can find
eongenial company is in the ranks
of the prohibitionists. He can
preach grape juice and peace
without restriction, while the two
great parties strive with each
other for the mastery in our
great ma tional contest.

JUDGE E. O. SYKES

Following the insertion by the
legislature the amendment to the
constitution into our state consti-
tuition increasing the number of
supreme court judges from three
to six, Governor Bilbo appointed
Judge E. O. Sykes, of Aberdeen,
from this the third, or northern,
district. This appointment met
with the hearty endorsement of
the bar of the state and the peo-
pie generally who recognize in
Judge Sykes lawyer of splendid
ability and Of superior legal train
ing.
Judge Sykes comes from a
family of jurists. His father
served for IL years as circuit
judge of this district, and at one
time was strongly considered for
a place on the supreme bench.
His maternal grandfather, Judge
Rogers, also served as judge of
this district and was a lawyer of
great ability.
Judge Sykes was appointed as
a cadet in the United State Naval
Academy at Annapolis. where he
received his literary education,
He resigned from the academy
to study law and entered the law
department of the University of
Mississippi, where he graduated.
He began the practice of law at
Aberdeen and when his father
was elevated to the bench sue
ceeded him in the firm which be-
came that of Bristow & Sykes,
the old firm of Sykes & Bristow
being recognized as one of the
strongest in the state. His abil-
ity was soon recognized and he
attained an enviable position at
the bar.
He is a young man still, being
under 40 years of age, and thor
oughly trained for the work of
our court of last resort. He is
quiet, transformations. studious,
judgmatical and independent and
will make a reliable judge. His
friends from all over the district
will support him for election to
the position to which he has been
appointed by Governor Bilbo, in
the primary to be held in August.
