We note with pleasure tba
Mr. J. J. Hull, the genial editoi
of the Kock Hill ilerald, is a can
didate for the legislature. Mr
Hull would make a good membei
and we sincerely hope he will b<
elected.
BRYAN THE GREATEST POPULAI
LEADER.
Let us look at Bryan's record.
Four years ago, after the tier
cest canvasses, and upon a dis
tinct and clearly definite financia
issue, this man was decisively de
feated for the presidency and tin
party under his leadership utter
ly routed at the polls.
Most men of ambition, undei
these circumstances, would hav<
sought, for a time at least, the re
cuperative influences of silenc<
and obscurity. By all the pre
cedents this was the thing to do
But not for a day did Bryan.
* From the hour of his disaste
until this hour of his triump'.ian
revival, he has been alive ant
astir. Upon the hustings, on th<
lecture platform and in the pub
i:? i ?: ? *_ ?- - *_ i- - i i

unceasingly active and unflinch
ingly aggressive. He has carrier
his propaganda in his heart am
on his lips everywhere. He ha
literally lived in the white ligh
of publicity. He has dared th<
traditional peril of print, an<
fearlessly fulfilled the desire o
his enemies in writing a book !
And, marvelous to relate, nei
ther in speech nor in print, in al
these four years, with his everj
expression weighed and his everj
action criticised, has he utterec
one word which the argus-eyec
and vindictive partizans of the
opposition could torture to hie
discredit or magnify to his hurt.
v It is beyond all precedent thai
he should have given no handle
to the captious criticism of hie
enemies, and there can be no real
or imagined explanation of this
phenomenon outside of the facl
that he spoke sincerely and spokt
the truth.
And from the day of his defeat
and in spite of his defeat, he haf
been the supreme and towerinp
head of his party. lie has nevei
lowered for one instant the stan
dard of the idea upon which his
first battle was fought and lost?
never changed, never compromised,never
shifted for advantage.
Men may differ from his views,
but all men must pay homage to
the superp consistency and courage
of the man. If he has added
new shibboleths to his camp, he
has not abated one jot or one tittle
in his loyalty to the old creed
which he carried to defeat.
And to this old creed he has,
wilh masterful power, held fast
the faith of those who followed
14 t b A I /t tf > I t tv r, f * h Ann
it^ t/tu i lie IUJ nnj wi uiwoc
who opposed it and made it high
treason in Democracy for any
man to look askance at it.
Fighting alone and almost single
handed, this one man has sue
tained the devotion of the faith
ful and literally compelled the
support of the doubtful to the
puissant political organization
with solid and absolutely un
broken ranks to fight once more
under this banner at the Novem
her polls.
And this, mark you, he ha*
done almost alone. He has done
all the speaking and well nigh all
the writing of his party. If others
have made expression, they have

simply chirped where he has <i
thundered, and never a chirp lias '
y been in oppostinn to his own. 1
And here at the end ot lour 1
y years of activity wi'hout flagging,
and of expression without tear, *
i comes this defeated candidate of t
1896, girt wilh the prestige of c
failure and handicapped by dis- t
aster. In all these years no pos- 1
Bible rival to his leadership has *
cast even a flickering ray upon 1
the horizon of hi* party. With *
^ all the wealth of ideas and of *
r *
political finesse in the councils of
Democracy, no man save this
man has ever been seriously conr
sidered for a moment, lie has
5 kept alive the hope and the
enthusiasm of his party in the
night of defeat. Ho has been its
* mouthpiece. He has rigidly
preserved its standards; he
has dictated its policies;* he
has made its platform; he has
selected the location of its nationI
al convention; he has named the
days of it a assemblage, and today
a he walks royally, unchallenged
and upon his own terms into his
own place as the head and the '
front of Demorrrtov in Anwripa s
And the forlorn hope that he
ha6 led with heroic consistency r
through the shadows is waving t
its banners in the sunlight of i
promise and victory. (
This is a record without an |
equal, a career without a parallel f
r in American history. The great i
* men of the past have had their
^ followers and achieved their tri |
0 umphs, and some of their work <
may outlast and outlive the deeds .
1 and the words of the Nebraskan. i
But I challenge the annals to |
^ produce a record of leadership so ,
^ complete, so dominant, so illus- j
s trious and so sustained as this. (
* It is in the air, in the pulse ,
0 and in the stars that the Democ |
* racy will win. It has the argil j
ment. world without end, It has ,
I . . - II
the sentiment, it has tlie theme j
for the omnipotent genius of the ,

f But whether tlie party of the v
* oeople wins or loses in this great 8
Armageddon of popular liberty, g
i the fame of the man who leads it (
1 is secure, and William J. Bryai , j
of Nebraska, will go serenely j
t down to history as the greatest g

i public of America has produced. (

His conclusions summarize

That the Filipinos owe to tl
monastic brotherhoods all the e
