ALTOGETHER FOR BRYAN.
There isn’t a shadow of a doubt
about the nomination of William J.
Bryan for the presidency on the dem
ocratic ticket next year. In our judg
ment there lias not been a doubt for
some time past, but even the most
skeptical may well lay aside their
doubts now. The Nebraskan has the
nomination cinched. Even Henry
Wattcrson admits it and calls upon
the rank and file of the party to get
behind the Nebraskan in the fight
against republicanism next year.
It is without doubt the duty of the
democrats all over the country to
cease their bickerings and get to work
for the man who is certain to be the
nominee. This Is no time for further
divisions in the party. All democrats
cannot have their wishes. There are
many who are not favorable to Mr.
Bryan, hut they must give way before
he overwhelming sentiment of the
lemocracv all over the country. They
must yield their individual wishes to
those of the majority and get to work
to make the party success certain.
In view of the money stringency
throughout the country, in view of tile
fact that Mr. Roosevelt positively re
fuses to make another race, the demo
crats stand a good chance to win in
the next election. They cannot win
if the ranks are divided. A solid front
must be presented, or another defeat
will come.
Tito time to discuss a Southern man
or the presidency is past. However
h we would like to see a South-
man nominated, it Is nnquestiona
best for the party just now to ral
o the supi«ort of Mr. Bryan, if
Bryan should lie elected he would
doubt be his own successor.
Should he lie defeated, the noniina-
of a Southern democrat in 1912
id doubtless follow.

Pay your bills and help to keep tie-
money in circulation and it will gc

If the farmers will co-operate wit'
the banks in helping to relieve tie
stringency, the imaginary panic will
not hurt Athens.
Athens lias out-gr.wn imaginary <

The farmers can do more to help
