The Charlotte Observer repro duces from The Washington Post an article which shows that Mr. Bryan ran behind the Democratic candidates for Governor in 24 States, and in 5 States carried by Taft Democratic Governors were elected. In only 6 States did Bryan run ahead of the Demo cratic nominees for Governor and he received less votes than in 189G or 1900, notwithstanding the increased population. If Mr. Bryan does not know by this time that he is about the worst thing that ever happened to the Dem ocratic party, what is left of the party ought to know it beyond all doubt.
