Aside fronr its partisant features and its public significance, it has & moral meaning which should bE dleep-planted in the mind of hli c'ountrymien, young and old, s< that the number of his kin( may bo increased. * "William Jennings Bryan it a shinig exemplar of succesi that lies in defeat. From th< * tine he uped to debate with the other' at Ill 3 is cl lege 0 the present day he has known every from of public de feat, from the smallest to the greatest, and as if to doubly tsst him, he was twice sub jected to the greatest. When hi went out to Lincoln , slit Young lawyer, lie didn't got much p actice in his prefosion. So, whenever coilimittees from county f is or gi a Ad picnics' came to the city for oratory and applied for the same at some lawyer's office they were referr ed to Biyan. And Bryan usu ally accepted and thundered at them just. vl:a'; he thought, whether they thought that way or0 not, aid prett v soon he ran for the congress in a Republican district-ran because no other D m crat wanted to be defeated! -and was (le:ted! And the busy lawyers who referred ccmimittees to him are still as little known as busy lawyers in thousands of little cities, while he is known the world around as no other lawyer, busy or other.wise, in any city, big or little. "His congressional successes were just exceptions 'to groove his rule of defeat. But every time he -went'. down he came up fresher and strong er, until now he has a greater hold on the masses than he ever had. And he's a bigger man than he ever was, for the simple reason that he has known how to use defeat. In the first place, he was never de feated because of any fault of character. So there was no reason why he should despai-, and he didn't. In the secono p'ace, he never went ahead until he felt sure he was right, so he accepted his defeats as mainly a difference of opinion between himuself and the major ity of voters, and no man need be discouraged because he hon estly disagrees with the masses. This usually means that he is right, and in the case of Bryan it has so proven. For many of his 'revolutionary radicalisms' of a dozen years ago are now being advocated by the very ones who then stood aghast at their mere mtntion! "But back of all his defeats and buffets is a man who be lieves in himself, which is the first requisite for any sort of success. And back of this be lief in self is a character that will stand the most searching rays of calcium carbide. And when you reinforce self-confi denc with character you can defy defeat, for there is no de feating this combination, ril you,young man or old man, I say this -study William Jen nings Bryan. It doesn't mattei whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, a Prohibitionist or a' Socialist. Thiere is some thring far more important to you than politics and parties. It is manhood. And Blryan is a man, of whom it may be said he has neOve r known defeatt, al though he has met it often, for his sort of manbood can't be ddfeated. And it's the sort we need right now."
