Nothing is left for the people to do except to line up for Bryan. He ought to get the biggest majority in history.

Those Republican papers that continue to be “loyal” are anxious to have it appear that Mr. Taft stands for “Roosevelt’s policies.” But Wall street and the trusts are supporting him with the understanding that he does not stand for what the people speak of as “Roosevelt’s policies.” If these mercenary interests really believed that) the Republican candidate, if elected, would push forward any of the policies that the masses of the people favor, they would not have been in Chllcago helping to nominate him.
