Referring to ex-President Cleveland's
suggestion that tho presidential term
should bo lengthened to six years, Mr.
Bryan says in the second issue of his

dent’s term is simply to enlarge the
stake for which great interests play.
The trusts could increase their campaign
fupd 60 per cent if they secure the con
trol of an administration for six years
instead o* four. A four vpar term is

long for a Lad one.”
