BRYAN ENROLLED AS
 EVENLY BALANCED
Lincoln Roosevelt and Wilson Also Compared With Great Com
 moner by Speaker

Chicago Aug, Pl-ln q compar- ison Of the political careers of Lin- coln Roosevelt, Wilson and Bryan Professor C, l.. Merriam head of the University Of Chicago's depart ment Of political science, asserted the most evenly balanced tempera- ment WIS that Of Bryan"
 "Lincoln was a profoundless thinker. Bryan vas far less pro- found, but in parliamentary and dia- lectica situations rose 10 great heights, Wilson was not profound, but was extraordinarily gifted with hypnotic power of expression, and Roosevelt would have made good scholar or scientists had he not en- tered political career.
 Their careers give the lie to the cynical conclusion that only graft and greed and narrow vision win political recognition in public affairs. Their success is proof of the sur vival of fundamental confidence in Integrity and high ideals at the high points in American public life, whatever may be the case on lower levels"
