WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
should be the presidential nominee
for all political parties this year
The people one and all have faith in
his honesty of purpose. Mr.. Bryan's
vision of lofty ideals has never been
cbscured by the power OF money. nor
has principle ever been sacrificed By
him for personal or political prefer
ment.
Mr.. Bryan as a young David chai.
iengcd the Goliath OF the money
power Of the earth In 1895 and be
came one Of the worlds foremost
advocates OF progress. He had been
elected 20 Congress In 1899, and dur.
ing his term became the recognized
champion OF the common people and
democratic government In this ma
ton.
Mr.. Bryan's eye. which is the mir
ror OF the soul has no flaw. He roa-
sons from the effects 20 their cause.
and having diagnosed the political
ailment or malady. he prescFibcs the
remedy. II political surgery is nee
esxary. hts words OF wisdom and
logic are as keen as the surgeons
knife.
Mr.. Bryan Is the worlds foremost
advocate OF sober reason hnd inter
national peace. His motives are
never questioned. even by his polit-
icai opponents. His great faith In
the people and his trust In the uiti-
mate triumph OF huuianity's cause.

disagree with him respect him Some

Satanic iegions. Now. when the
world returns TO peace and the
United States needs orderly recon
struction and a man who can call
| the nation to order and compel the
rich TO respect the law as well as
the poor. and promulgate the public
good. william Jennings Bryan II the
man In whom IL Is safe to impose
this most sacred trust as chief exec
utiye of our nation. George Wash.
ington was the father and Abraham
but II was Thomas jefferson who
sowed the seed OF democracy in this
nation. and William Jennings Bryan
is the husbandman who has cuIti-
waited that seed and kept the watch
fires Of our democracy burning until.
through that matchless statesman.
Woodrow Wilson, the seed OF our
democracy was sowed among the
nations OF the world at the peace
table OF Versailles.
Again. / say that William Jen-
nings Bryan is the man most and
best qualified 10 cultivate that
world democracy. and 70 restrain
:. special privilege from destroying IL
Vt home. and IL the election Of our
president were non-partisan and by
direct vote OF the people. there Is no
doubt that William Jennings Bryan
would be the peoples choice.
THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY has
chosen its standard bearer and
adopted it's platform. Both are sat
isfacsory TO the profiteers.
Senator Harding has never at any
time Joined in TO advance a progress
siye thought or movement. and the
platform IL evasive on the vital ques-
tons before the American people.
, Therefore, voting the Republican
National ticket will be like buying a
cat In a bag. The time now Is when
the people Of this nation are entitled
, to know whether they arc voting to
place in power those who are friends
'0of special privilege. or those who are
'Vfriends of the people. Judging from
past performances, the people Of
this nation have nothing TO expect
from the Republican party this year.
Furthermore, when the progressives
In the State Of Washington are per
mftted to read Mr.. Harding's edi-
torials published In 1910 and after.
on ex.President Theodore Roosevelt,
II will require a visit TO the miracle
