""iu cuuuu me lancies'ol the murmurers. What these ques tions are, matter not to Mr, Bryan just so he can lasso public attention long enough to stick his spurs into it and give it the quirt. It is pathetic to note the distress signals hoisted by Mr. Bryan as he. realizing that all is not going well with him, goes up and down the country rattling the peas in the pod he has rattled before in a vain endeavor to stem the tide that Is going out to Mr. Taft. The Bryan paltform, destructive In many places, is disingenuous and evasive in others. It is as full of veiled clap-trap as it was in his other disastrous campaigns. He takes running jumps at questions-not at what they are or will be, but at what he thinks they ought to be. Mr. Taft on the other hand has made it conspicuously plain that in the event of his election he will pursue progressive policies in a sane way. The opposition has stormed and ranted at his snh of 9(.,mt,n,p with
out being able to find even a toe-hold for a wede of tenable criticism.
