OPPOSITION TO BRYAN. Republican papers are very solicit- | ous about Mr. Bryan’s Government ownership views. They realize Mr. Bryan’s great popularity with the common people of the United States aud recognized the importance of combating this as much as possible before the next campaign and they have eagerly selzed upon the expres- sion of Mr. Bryan’s private views to try and neutralize his popularity. Mr. Bryan's views on municipal, state and government ownership of! public utilities under certain, condi- tions, have been well known to the reading public for a long time. President Roosevelt expressed the same sentiment while advocating the railroad rate bill in the last con- gress. He said in substaace that if the railroads refased to give the people justice, the people would be compelled to own the railroads. This is practically what Mr. Bryan said. He made it plain that he was not making a party platform, but ex- pressed his opinion that publicsenti- ment was drifting to the govern- ment ownership idea. It is noticeable that the people who are 8o ready to criticise Mr. Bryan’s expression of opinion are the same fellows who opposed him in both races he made for President. The Republicans would like to see Mr. Bryan defeated for the nomina- tion because they are afraid of the result in the election and from nowuntil the National Democratic Convention meets Republican papers will wage a relentless war upon him. But this will only make Mr. Bryan stronger with the masses, and he will be nominated and elect- ed if he lives, The boy who will work, has a pur- pose in life, ie studious, ambitious and works with an aim in life, will be successful and recelve honors accor- ding to his merits, is amply tIluatra- ted inthe case of (.M.
