Recalls Wilson, Too.

“I have also known one prominent Democrat who refused to support a Democratic candidate for President and who obtained his reward in elevation as a Democratic President (referring to President & •

Wilson’s attitude in another Bryan campaign). “Then I recall the instance v of a Republican ex-PTesident helping to elect a Democratic President and still remaining not only a Republican but quite a prominent one (referring to the late CoL Roosevelt at the time President Taft was defeated for re-election). “Surely with such eminent illustrations as to the latitude allowed members of both parties I should be permitted to remain silent without forfeiting my right to membership in the • Democratic party.” Early in the day Mr. Bryan said: “No one is more gratified than I am at the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment. I am counting on women to contribute decisively to the two causes in which I feel the greatest interest, namely, peace and prohibition.” . ' W; ~c.. r M ' t '
