Jt is the "III- question which underlies and \* I shadows every other (piestlon with wii.ii tiie two parties must K« before the people, and the ad lie. s of Mr. Bryan leavos no room o doubt that if the question is to he answered, it will have to come through the triumph of the Dem ocratic party. Out of their own mouths the Re publican leaders are condemned. N»ey have made free and frank con tension of tin* gross abuses which haw crept nto governmental affairs but the crushing answer to all this that these abuses have, for the most part, grown up during the pc rlod when the Republican party was a control, and the failure to reme dy them lies at tho door of the-Re publican administrations which have been in power during the continu ance of those abuses. The spirit of boastfu’ness has led • he Republican party to recall that It has been in control of all or at least a part of the government ever since the war, with the eception of two years. Rut this boast rises up to plague the Republicans them selves w!ien it carries with it the responsibility for the delinquencies under wliCh the people suffer. Mr. Taft's personal wishes count for little in the matter of popular •election of senators for Instance or uiblic tv of campaign contributions, or many of t lio other Democratic doctrines towards which lie thrown an anchor, when the Repufi 'can party itself, in convention as ! '’‘ inhied, has distinctly repudiated I 'hose measures. The clear-cut po sition of the Democratic party, voiced in tin.* platform, leaves no ,(e,ilit as to what the people can ex pert if the Democrats are placed in tower, while the position of the nom •‘ce is in exact accord with the ut terances of h's party. Mr. Bryan dwel'g at same length on tiie question of tariff reform and • hi' trusts. Their inter relation and pointed out and emphasized. But re form in tarilT. like the publication of campaign expenses, is to he left by t! • Republicans until after the •leetii.u — and the people know only too well by the experience or the past just what to expect from the beneficiaries of special interests which have contributed so argely to ampnign funds in the past and may ip expected to do so in tho future. On tlu* whole Mr. Bryan lias given Ii h party a keynote speech which is nothing short of inspiring.
