Jamea Creelman, In Parson's.
From ihat bltt u note of awakening
world linens to the development of Mr.
Br>an ?n a well-cut fr.i>?k coat, un
bagged trouseia, four-in-hai d cravat
and an Income estimated a9 something
like $?10.000 or I7J.000 a year, with a
political prestige that rises superior
to consequences and com! els even
his enemies to fawn like spaniels, his
growth has been largely a conver?
sion of politics into a clean, practical
but goln& prlv:.te business
Nor Is thero the slightest unfriendly
aim In this statement; m.reiy an im?
partial consi deration of interesting
and algn'flcant ficta concerning one
of the moat sngular and commanding
personalities in American history.
% Mr. Bi van takes 60 per cent, of the
ticket money when he lecture*. It
dots not matter whether his lecture is
for th* benefit of a church, a hospital,
an asylum or an entertainment bu?
reau, hla stuvre Is not less than one
half of the receipts.
He does not charge ar>thlny. for his
strictly political speeches nor foV his
attendance at Democratic banquets.In
these m Itters he %iv*s bis services
Vlthout pay. But It wljl te seen that
the activity and enthuVasm of his po?
litical follow irt, und the consequent
attention paid to his plans, move?
ments and views In the local newspa?
pers, save the coat of advertising and
help to draw paying crowds to his
lectures This has occasionally tempt?
ed the envious to scoff at the title of
his favorite lecture, "The Value of a
Moral Idea."
After all, a man must live and
make provision for his fsmilv and old
ago. So, too, when one opena Mr
Bryar^'a Commoner on the threshold
of this momentous year he reads a
stirring headline: "Wanted?An Army
of a Million."
Beneath this announcement the
loader of the Democratic party thus
appeals to the suffering reople of his
country.
"Will you enliat? Will you become
a recruiting officer, trying to enlist
othera? will you help organize this
army of a million to wage a strong
and winning battle for the triumph of
Democratic principles? Victories,
both of war and peace, are not the
results of chance?they are the re*
suits of organization, of careful plan?
ning, of thorough equipment and of
concerted action. *
Already the lines are forming for
the campaign of 1108. *The first
skirmishers nave been ordered for?
ward. As they advance, let the work
of organisation be pushed, to the end
that when the battle opens the forces
of Democracy may be prepared for a
general advance?an advance well or?
ganised, well planned and well equip?
ped.
"A million earnest men are needed
to take hold and help Ir. this great
campaign, if you will be one, pre?
vail upon as many other* as you can
to enlist."
It is then explained that the way
to ?oin the army of a million earnest
patriots is to cut out the accompany?
ing coupon and send it to the Com?
moner, "accompai led by 60 cents '
thus making* you a subscriber to Mr.
Bryan's paper and swelling his ad?
vert Ising rev? nuea. ,
Mr. B.-yan has received $r*G0 apiece
for short newspaper article*:?money
paid In advance, it la said that he got
10 centi a word for hla recent writ?
ten debates with Senat >r Be vertage in
a mafsx'na.
Yet before he was nominated for
prassdmt Mr. Bryan's average In?
come as a lawyer was ib-'ut $1.00<* a
year, a? d hla aalary as ooltHeal edi?
tor of the Omaha W*rld H?isld at
the time ot hla/ nomination waa only
$1,900 a year.
Thla ability of Mr. Brian to accu?
mulate money white honestly spread?
ing his doctrines snd keeping up the
spirit of his folk wer j Is a necessary
crollary of rls stem ami un. #mpro?
mising attitude toward tfft sis and all
mrnner of plutocratic evil-doers From
a political standpoint his system Is In
the nature of an Invention.
T^et the Wall street conspirators in
the Democratic party attempt to or?
ganise trouble In any part of the
country by picking out and supporting
a conservative candidate for the pres?
idency.
As soon as the movement begins to
attract attention It will somehow
happen that Mr. Bryan la to lecture?
for 60 pe* cent, of the ticket money?
In the particular State or neighbor?
hood where the conservative candi?
dacy Is being pressed. The "original
Bryan men" simultaneously announce
In the 'ocal newspapers thai a ban?
quet or reception meeting Is to be held
in Mr. Bryin's honor on the occasion
of his visit. ThU forces politicians to
:oin in the compliment c r run ths
risk of inviting the vengeance of Pry
?n men at the m-xt eloetlon.
Thrt result Is a stir in the local
newspapers, Int^r/'ews an active dis?
cussion In political cities, paying au
tll**nu|rs at Mr. Bryan's lectures, a rat
tllrg political speech from him end a
series of confidential political confer
ence*. In which his manly, good-natur
ed and magnetic \va> of dialing with
voters--a breezy familiar clap on the
shoulder for one, a VUagfh/ exalted
ep'.gram for another, a pointed joke
for still another, and a defiance of
Wall street, Cleveland, Ryan, Relmont
and the "subsidized pr-j**" for all?
soon frightens the local conser\ative
politicians into inactivity or a hur?
ried acceptance of "p'ierlessness" as a
regretable but inevitable Element In
the supreme Democratic leadership.
It is hard to find n politician who
docs not realize that if Mr. Bryan
cannot himself be elected president of
the l'nl?:0d States no man in his party
can s.noeed againat hU opposition or
without Ms hearty approval.
P.ut how could Mr. Bryan travel
continuously about the country, hire
halls and bring audiences together if he
had to foot the bills himself '/ Where
would he get the money ? Hr w would
he support his family, How would
he keep the Commoner going? How
wculd he acquire United States bonds
ss a comfort and guirantee atrainst
increasing years and i poss ible de?
cline of radical sentiment?
Mr. Bryan is open and honest about
his business success. He makes no
secret of his profits.

to think thet the minority was trying
to asumo ej ?ponsib'?ty fox !**gVatl01l.
He did not desire to appear as trying
to coerce the majority until the Re?

not intend to do anything at this ses?

the Republicans to do something. ' I
