BRYAN BOOiyi ANALYZED.
Gall for County and Township Conventiops.
At a meeting of the County Democratic Executive Committee
held in Brevard on May 5th, 1900, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
“That the democratic voters of the county are requested to
meet at the polling places in their respective precincts on Satur

Brevard on Saturdjiy. June i\‘3d, 1906, at 1 o’clock p. m., and to
transact such other business as is provided for in the denioci’atlc
plan of organization.
“That the aforesaid county convention is hereby called to meet
in the court liouse in the Town of Brevard on Saturday, June l’^»rd.
1900, at 1 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of nominating Die candi
dates for county oftices and for electing delegates to the State,
Congressional, Judicial and Senatorial Conventions and to trtinsact
such other business as provided for by the democratic ])lan of

W. E. BREESE. JR.. Secretary.
Why this sudden conversion of
the Parker-Cleveland wing of the
sometime radical “peerless
leaderV”
The answer is simpie. Br3’an
is chosen by the Parker-Cleve
land democrats as the lesser of
The country has acclaimed the
Roosevelt program. They will
vote for somebody who will con
tinue it.
Hence W. J. Bryan.
What will Bryan have to say
about government owership of
two evils. As compared with j railways? Two years ago ho
some other leaders who have, came out for state control. He
come to the front since IKH)
Bi-yan is regarded as “safe and
sane.
liryan is being supported as an
offset to Hearst and vSocialism.
Far and away the most notable
tiiing that has happened in the
political world for many months
is the sudden and widespread
movement which has begun to
make William Jennings Bryan
the democratic standard bearer
in 1908.
It has come like the rush of an
express train. A moment ago it
was a dim speck on the horizon;
now it looms a large and thun
dering reality almost upon us.
Presently it will be in the past
tense—Bryan is a sure thing.
Hardly had the talk of Bryan
begun when the states began
with one accord to endorse him.
Already the list of those which
have spoken includes Indiana,
Colorado, Arkansas, South DaJ
kota and Missouri.
And New York is preparing to
hail him, on return from his trip
abroad, as the conquering hero.
A tremendous ovation is being
prepared.
What does it all mean? Why
is Dave Francis of Missouri (ex
gold democrat) coupling the
names of Bryan and Cleveland?
Why is the “conservative” chair
man of the “conservative com
mittee’" in Indiana touting the
may temper that when the rate
V)ill is passed by saying tliat he is
content to wait and see how that
works.
But the most important sVate-

Bryan's poi)ularity with the
masses is relied upon to save tVie
situation. Although a radical—
or so regarded in 1^91), when he
was denounced as an anai-chist
and a firebrand—Bryan is n<nv
regarded as sufficiently conserv
ative. As Mr. Shivley said to
the Indiana convention:
‘•That which is today eulogized
and approved as l)road states
manshi]) and enli^hiencd patriot
ism in Theodore Roost*velt was
only a few years ago denounced
as reactionary, revolutionary and
un[)‘itriotic in William Jennings
Bryan.”
Times have changed. Public
sentiment has moved forward.
Bryan today is the same J>ryan
of 1>>90—but the “conservative j
of 1900 see him through to the salary he receives as

President Roosevelt is resjwn-
sible for the growing popularity
of radical opinions and candi
dates. When he entered the
White House he quietly and un
officially severed his connections
with the re})ublican p:irty. its
leaders and its platform. His
administration has been an effort
to carry out the principles which
were declared in the democratic
platform of 1890—with the one
e.vception of free silver.
The main feature of the demo
cratic platforms of 1896 and 1900
was opposition to trusts and
vested monopoly. If Roosevelt
had been elected on that platform
he could not have given the coun
try a more consistent anti-trust
administration.
In the matter of tariff revision
Roosevelt is with the Democrats.

and well-known resident of Blntt’ton,

after having u.sed the remedy in my
