to answer a few questions from

Cl) Did W. J. Ilryan vot# for
Judge Crisp In the first caucus; he
ran for 8peaH.»r? (2) If not did
Alfred Henry IawIs tell the tnittv
■*Ci» n he said Bryan told him he

find out and let m* know the truth
through your editorial column*
C. J. JENKINS,
fill Fourth street, Macon, Oa.
Tbs Telegraph dose not know that
Aryan sent his children to a mixed
school in Nebraska, but we said the
other day that It ts quite probable
that he hid to eend them to a school
where there were more or lees negro
students, or not send them to school
at all—a fiat for which tie was not
responsibly but for which the party
of Taft was responsible.
(1) tn reply to the first question,
the records abow that Bryan voted for
springer. of Illinois. Bryan was bom
end reared In that fltata
(t) It Is altogether possible that
Bryan may have told Lawls that It
would not be popular In his country
to vote for a Confederate at that time,
and If ba did ee, ha probably told the
truth. Crisp and Bryan were dose
friends after that contest for the
Hpeakf rehlp. The Georgian certainly
took no offense at the opposition of tha
Nchraekae as &!» son bee recently tea-
tided. The Telegraph once urged this
oftenagainst Bryan, but later Invee
t trmion# have convinced ue that there
ts not much If anything In It,
if it were true tn Its worn* m
n ould yet support Bryan oa account
of graver issues now pressing. But
Ury*n has not charged the Confederate
"Wo declire once more and
r.-llhout reservation for the en
forcement In letter and spirit of
the thirteenth, fourteenth and fif
teenth amendments to the Consti
tution. which were designed for
tho protection and advancement of
tfj* negro, and we condemn nil
devices that have for their renl
aim his disfranchisement for rea
sons of color aJone as unfair, un-
American and repugnant to the au-
premo law of tha land.
In reference to the above Mr. Taft
raid In hla speech of acceptance: “I
eland with my party squarely on that
plank in bhe platform.” No doubt he
nlno atands “squarely” on the similar
plank In the Republican platform of
Ohio, ee to which he we* doubtless
previously consulted, and whloh reads:
“Believing In the civil and politi
cal rights of She American negro
In every State, and believing as
we do that hla marvelous progress
In Intelligence, Industry and good
citizenship hae earned the respect
and encouragement of the nation,
and that those legislative enact

law of tho land, wo favor the re

all States of this union, whether
■white or colored cltlxens arc dis
franchised. to the end that tffie
fourteenth amendment to the Con
stitution of the United Htntr* may
be enforced according to its let
ter end spirit.”
If our questioner Is sensitive about
the negro question, the foregoing ought
to atlok In hie crew soma
The truth Is, ell this by-play about
Bryan end the negro, te for the pur
pose of obscuring the real Issues of
the campaign.

BRYAN, THE ORATOR.
Whatever mey be the difference of
opinion a* to the qualities of William
J. Bryan aa a statesman, It seems to
be generally conceded that be is one
of the few great American orators. He
has a voice that an actor or popular
preacher would glory In, and is so
trained In Its uae that he can make
thlrtyodd speeches a day without tire
causing It to lose Its richness. Even
In the phonograph his tones are pure,
every word 1s dlsttnct, and the vol
ume of sound suggests We roll of
thunder.
And. aUegsthsr aside from what he
has to say, he le * past master in
methods of Axing end holding the at-
tentlon of hts bearers. A corre
spondent of tht New York Evening
Rost, writing of a day's campaigning
with the Democrttle candidate tn
Iowa, eeys:
- It Is difficult to Imagine a mors
effective oratorical style then Mr.
Bryan employe in these (roar wet-
form) species. It ts intimate,
easy and colloquial, end makes In
stant appeal to hie audiences. Ills
sentences are short, and ordinarily
he employ# words of not more then
two syNobles. He has aoqulred
the rare art of condensation, end
can say a great deal tn a brief
specs of time. He drives hi*
points home. Ue understands his
audiences from the ground up*
Tltelr mode of life end their
thought# are aa familiar to him a#
hla own. There can be no manner
of doubt that he “get* next*
the people.
Whet the same correspondent re
Ith anarchism aa Roosevelt! tarded aa “possibly the most Ittumlnat

“Yes. But I’m shaving and can t

Another correspondent of the New
Yodt Evening Post, which, by the way,
Is lupportlag Taft, writes of the en
thusiasm of the people In Nebraska,j
and adds/
But Mr. .Bryan sees deeper than
this, Tli# crowds and tht* tumult
and the shouting are an old story
to him. Mr. Ilryan haa seen, what
ery other Interested observes;
that whatever drift of
scntlmf nt there la In this campaign
tt toward t'i# Democratic party
and the Democratic candidate.
Thlnga havu not been “breaking”
right for the Republicans. Thsy
themselves concede thla, hut con-
oensIons are not necessary in the
face of the reorganisation of stis
campaign management. It Is not
difficult to And Republicans and
Democrats who voted f«r Roose-
V«lt four years ago, who will vote
for Bryan this year, but it U more
than difficult to come upon any
appreciable number of Democrat*
who do not Intend to' vote tttelr
national party ticket In Kovem-
gatloi
Aa wa# shown In Georgia recently,
mere oratory will not win an election.
There must be a popular Impulse sup
porting the candidate, whether ho be
an orator or not. It does look es If
this time Bryan has such support.
Many careful observer# agree with tho
corrcMpondent quoted above, who
frankly writes to a Taft newspaper
that whatever drift of sentiment there

Democratic party.
"Trust# are governed not by
any statute, but by the laws of

Heaven forbid.
Senator Dolllvor, of Iowa, says “God

God would ho responsible for their
regulation.” God also mgd# the rat-

Curious that Theodore Roosevelt

to be tried at the approaching presiden
tial election which in my mind take
precedence of nil others.
The first Is the fmramount Importance
of organizing without further delay an
opposition party. Tha second Is to se
cure the speediest possible deliverance
of our country from a demoralizing tariff
Import

fit to be treated with absolute
solute power, without abusing It Tho
B/Ipebijcan party has now bwn practi

need not say bow much it ha# abused
that power, because with th# absence
of an opposition purty It was Infpossl-

The most disastrous fruit of the pro
longed power of tho republican dynasty
unquestionably Is Jts dritberat# and p«r-
sl.itent war upon our fbrHgh commerce:
Its constant Increase or tariff restric
tions upon Imports.
Foreign com me rco ha# dwindled until
W M„?S por,B °l* r Imports by many
millions, and they largely consist of
money or merchandise shipped to pay
ol l£. for,,, xn debt
Why 1# this?/ We have tha largest
continuous mast tins of any nation in
tho world, with the most abundant sup
ply In the world of Iron, coal, copper,
sfnc, wood.—articles which constitute
tho principal and niost costly oleaenta
of ship building and have Jhua been
d*"l*rn«ted by Frovldence as (no natural
Mistress of the Sens, yet If any one of
our ninety millions of people withe* to
visit any of the other continents of the
world or to shin a package of mtrrhao*
disc, he must hire a foreign ship owner
to be his common carrier. We build no
vessels for International commerce.
While w* are spending millions upon mil
lions upon our navy under the pretext
of protecting
commerce, while we
practically Imvo no commerce of our
own to protect. W# scent to have copied
our mnrltlme policy from the frog that,
according to the proverb, without a shirt
clamored for drawers, or as the Ger
mans any: “Du wllltt ard*rn Katxcn

There was never a time In our history
when our prospect of n commercial ma
rine adapted to our resources was so bad
as It 4a today. Why Is this? It was not
