Mr. Taft owes his election less to his own strength than to Mr. Bryan’s weakness. ‘ This fatal weakness was apparent to The World months before either of the national conventions assembled. Day after day we warned the Democracy against it. The morning after Mr. this newspaper declared without “Bryan’s nomination neans Taft’s election,” and the vote yesterday | abundantly vindicated this prediction. | Mr. Bryan’s friends insisted, however, that he was entitled to another nomination backed by a united party. They had their way. Mr. Bryan received -his nomination and a party more united than it has been since 1892 lovally supperted him; but even a united party could not overcome the handicap of Mr. Bryan’s political record. Governor in New York, Minnesota, Illinois and elsewhere; weaker than his issues, which he made still weaker by the stupendous folly nomination reservation that He was weaker then his party, as shown by the vote tor of. posing as Roosevelt's heir. Mr. Bryan’s overwhelming defeat is made the more signifigant by reason of Mr. Taft's vulnerability. The Republican candidate had to bear the burden of general hard times; of a million men out of employment; of basiness interests complaining and dissatisfied; of a steadily increased cost of living: of an unparalleled disaffection of labor leaders: of an unparalleled disaffection of the negro vote; of Republican factional fights in the great pivotal States of New York, Ohio, Indiana and Ilinois; of a reactionary platform which he was obliged to modify in his speech of acceptance; of an insidious use of religious prejudice and bigotry against Mr. Taft's liberal and ad- vanced belief; of a p»pular resentment against Mr. Roosevelt's de- termination to name his successor and a Proxy. ne alone was a burden under which a far stronger candidate than Mr. Taft m It is the of the country that a great panic has. so far as the popular vote is concerned, not def But Mr. Bryan has heen proved unsound on so many financial and economic questions in the past that the Republicans turned their own Tesponsibility for hard The hard-times ht have sneeumbed. first time in the histor ated the party in power. times into a source of strength.
