It is a far cry to the next dem
ocratic national convention, but
all the politicians are talking
nothing else but the tight that is
two years off and the general con
sensus of opinion is that if the
convention were to be held to
morrow William J. Bryan would
be nominated by acclamation.
Well why shouldn’t he be? He is
the inventor of everything that
has been asked for by Theodore
Roosevelt; of everything that
was passed by the last session of
the congress that was of any pe
culiar interest to the peo])le, and
why should not the inventor of a
machine be acclaimed by the
people as well as the man who
uses it? Everything that Roose
velt has advocated in his mes-
s-iges to congress that has been
worth siiucks to the people, is
democratic doctrine. It was ad
vocated either by a democratic
national convention in the plat
form, or else some democrat has
blazed the way by a speech in
congress on the subject, a long
time before Roosevelt ever
thought of saying a word in favor
of anything that was passed by
the congress.
A glance at any democratic na
tional platform since 1890, or the
Congressional Record since 1898.
will prove the truth of my asser
tions. As long as a j’ear and five
months before Roo.sevelt ever
said a word about railroad rate
regulation, a speech w’as made on
the floor of the house by the Hon.
John Sharp Williams, of Missis
sippi, the democratic tloor leader,
that read exactly as the message
of Roosevelt on the subject and
nobody doubts that from it Roose
velt got much if not all the inspi
cation when he wrote the mes
sage asking Congress to enact
railroad rate legislation. If he
liad stuck to his text and insisted
on the same policy advocated by
Williams we would have had a
law that w’ould have had teeth;
but he went back on all and ev
erything that he had asked for
and on everybody who had trust
ed him in the transaction.
People seem to think that
should Bryan be nominated by
the democrats tliat Teddy will be
forced to run by his party as the
only man who would stand any
chance to beat him. Those who
know Roosevelt at short range
know that if such a proposition is
put up to him, Teddy will accept
it, no matter what he has said to
the contrary, and many people
believe that he is working to that
end right now. It would give
the people of the entire country
a chance to choose between the
genuine thing and the pinchbeck.
For if ever there was a piece of
pinchbeck in the shape of a poli
tician in the whole range of hu
man historj\ it is the man now in
the White House. And I speak
advisedly when I say jwlitician.
He is one of the best politicians
who ever sat in the White House,
and one of the luckiest. He came
as near being dragged from his
pedestal upon which the people
have placed him, when he tackled
Tillman, Bailey and Chandler,
but he wriggled out of that pre
dicament by jumping on the meat
packers, whom everybody hate
and despise. He knew that fact
and played on it for all it was
worth and the trick won. Every
body immediately forgot the rail
road rate incident and the fact
that Roosevelt had played a dou
ble game and shown bad faith
and in the end had surrendered
to the roads and gave them the
broad court review, and at once
began heaping praises on his
head for hitting the hated meat
trust. Have you ever thought of
that?
Do you remember that the two
things followed on each other’s
heels? Well, that’s the way he
played it on the people and they
swallowed the bait, hook and
sinker.
