FEW NEWSPAPERS FOR BRYAN
Mr. Bryan is hampered la this cam
paign by lack of newspaper 'media
through which to promulgate his cam
paign utterances and to appeal to the
faithful. A survey of tho field shows
that he is all but deserted in this re
spect. In both of his other campaigns
he had sturvly newspaper support. The
Hearst string was out in his behalf with
that peculiar vehemence for which all
Hearst efforts are celebrated. Papers
of national cI&js in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia. Chicago, Cincinnati, Stk
Louis, Oraaha, Denver and San Fran
cisco, not to mention those of the south,
wore urging that he be elected.

There is hardly a paper now in the
north to enter into the campaign with
heartiness for Bryan. The defection of
the Hearst papers took from the demo
cratic candidate at one fell swoop a
mighty ally. The Hearst list is larger
than it was eight years ago, and its
power for publicity is very considerably
more; but at that time it reached more
effectually than any other media the
class from which the democratic candi
date in understood to receive the bulk
of bis support. It is little wonder that
Mr. Bryan made such desperate efforts
to conciliate Mr. Hearst and get him
into the democratic band wagon.
In New York the ooly considerable
journal to loyally support Mr.. Bryan i?
the Staats Zeitung, and that appeals to
a classless susceptible to the Bryan
^ argument than any ether.
There is no natural analogy between
the sturdy German character and the
shifting, temporizing, vacillating course
pursued by the democratic candidate in
his effort to win the support of class
and faction. The World is the regular
democratic paper of the metropolis, but
it pursued such a bridge-burning policy
toward Bryan before his nomination
that it would stultify itself in support
ing him now. It pursue.- a harrowing
policy, reuderinK no aid whatever to the
standard-bearer of its party.
The Philadelphia Record is the one
big newspaper of the east to support
Bryan without reserve, and its intluence
is local rather than national. The Cin
cinnati Inquirer is owned by John R.
McLean, himself something of a demo
cratic warhorse. He has never looked
upon Bryan with admiring eyes and the
support of his paper this year will be
of that jaded character that naturally
results from coming to the breach three
times in a hopeless assault.
Since Bryan's last campaign the dem
ocratic paper par excellence of Chicago,
the Chronicle, has yielded the ghost,
and the ?omet:me journal of that faith,
the ilecord-Herald, has reformed and
become independent. St. Louis speaks
for Missouri, which is tired of Itrysn,
though the Republic of that city stands
for his olection.
The papers of the south would be for
any democratic candidate, but they are
not rendering enthusiastic support.
Hcever, their iniluence is not of the
far-reaching nature of the leading pa
pers of the north.
The national weeklies, such as Col
lier's, Harper's, Tuck and Judge none
of which acknowledges republican tram
meus, are all shooting banderillas into
the Bryan foreshoulder.
This entire desei tion of the democrat
ic cause by the press must have signifi
cance. Does it indicate the demise of
the democratic party .' Are the editors
unusually discerning, able to see with
clearer vision a political corpse, and do

AWAKENING
(By Joseph I. C. Clarke)
It were joy to have lived, If only you
know
I had waked in this dusk of the woods
to the flow
Of a streamlet that leaps down its
dell to the lea.
Its waters a-sparkle ami beckoning
to me.
To have waked in the forest ?nd marv
eled to bear
A bird at its matin-song gladsomo and
clear:
"From dawn-blue to sun-glow I've
haunted your dream
With the lure of Her love by the
marge of the stream."
Tc have slept in my sorrow and waken
ed but now
With a kiss as of exquisite lips on my
brow
And Her call as of bells to a world
that's reborn,
And a beat iu my blood like the laugh
ter of morn;
To hav* wandered and toiled in the
deep forest aisles,
To have counted in darkness the weari
some miles,
To have slept for the dream's sake,
and waked with Love's word
At the lips of the stream, at the heart
of the bird.

diseases and aches and points due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Dean's
