BRYAN DISCUSSES ROOSEVELT AND HIS CRISIS FOR THE EVENING WORLD —_—— iebijilcanaaits Bolt Would Lack Moral Force of ‘gestae and He Could Only Hope ; for Success if Both Parties Nom- inate Reactionaries. a BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. f vied (Copyright, 1912, by Virgil V. MeNitt.) | CHICAGO, June 21.—While we are waiting for the situation to dear up, let us consider a phase of this convention which should not notice, namely, the evidence that it gives of the capacity af ernment. Individuals differ in the amount of self-restraint they exercise, and self-restraint is quite an accurate emment. The individual who per- destroys himself. The mind must der control before a human being is worthy to be called a man. But mental control is not sufficient. The mind may control the body, but the mind itself may run wild. Without 2 moral balance wheel a brilliant mind may use both itself and the Committees did, as the result have been different.’ ‘With the possible exception of July 9 19%, the day that Willlam Jennings Bryan made his “Cross of Gold, Crown of Thorns” speech and there were sent out from the Democratic Convention hall in Chicago upward of a million words by telegraph, more words ha‘ bop ticked over the wires from Chi- ch day since Sunday than ever Chicago operators of the West- ern Union thought they had reached the limit for high records when on the Bad the Carpathia docked in New the Titanic survivors 750,00 ed from here, But the ached yesterday body for great harm. Solomon tells us “that he that tuleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city .” Where there is the highest average of intellectual and moral power, with the moral . sie in control, there is the highest average of citizenship. Our nation {s making progress because it has a high average of citizenship—a larger percentage of its people than in any other country have the intelligence to estimate the problems with which they have to deal and the moral strength to le with those problems, ‘This Be si is, mM a way, @ photograph of the nation.

The poor are not without spokesmen; neither te accumulated ‘wealth without its advocates, ce ‘The convention hall is like an erena in which a gladiatorial contest ts being participants in the great conflict battle over policies and prmoiples, It is re- @arkable that so much Intensity of speech, so much tenacity of purpose, eo much depth of conviction can be brought together on opposite sides with ao Uttle dispey of anger and such an absence of rudeness, DIVISION OF FACTIONS IS CLOSE. ‘The convention is nearly equally divided, the Roosevelt men believing that Mr, Taft represents organized greed, legislative pillage and political corruption carried to the seventh power, and some have expressed themsctves on the sub- ject In no uncertain terms, The Taft men, on the other hand, think that the Roosevelt crowd is largely made up of self-seeking politicians who are wilt: to resort to Gemagogic appeals to secure their ends, men who atir up the pas- sions of the multitudes against law, order and property. This opinion has also been expressed quite freely for some months, Now the most distinguishes leaders of these two dements in the Republican party are brought face to face in one room und are permitted to speak thelr feelings freely to each other. States divided by narrow alsies and those antagonists see each other at close range, Mr. Barnes, who !s not able to produce a certificate of character from Mr. Roosevelt less than a year old, rubs against Mr. Flinn, whom President cannot reward with any degree of allowance, and yet there is no physicah and “representatives of predatory wealth,” and yet there has not been a fight. Gevere! of the delegations are divided, some in the middle and some on the edges, but the best of decorum prevails. Even Senator Bradley of Kentucky and Mr. Heney of Ca/ifornta oan appear upon the same platform without disturbing the peace. They have thelr differ- enoes and they are fighting them out, but they are doing {t in a most creditable way. I am not now passing on the merits of the decisions rendered. Nolther ‘am I endorsing the parliamentary methods employed, but I congratulate the Republican party on the splendid proof it has given of the ability of a large umber of people, intensely in earnest, to discuss their differences caymly, and settle the questions involved without recourse to violence. Gt not only indicates eelf-restraint, but faith in the {ncorruptibility of the people, the court of last resort in a republic. TAFT FORCES IN FULL CONTROL. ‘This report mui be put on the wires before the convention opens at 11 A. ‘M,, and ft is impossible at this time to forecast the action that the convention ‘WEI take. Mr, Roosevelt's statement has not changed the attitude of the Taft forocs tn the least. ‘The credentials committee is entirely in the hands of the Admtn- {stration and the Taft delegates are being seated as rapidly as the cases can de disposed. The contest over the length of time to be given to each case was really ‘much ado about nothing,” because the action of the committee ts sure to be the same, whether much time or little 1s given in each case. The facts @re thoroughly understood by both sides and the hearings are merey « matter of form.
