gress, the President seems to have
tried to, say something about every-
thing and nothing definite on anything.
. On the Arif issue, President Roose-
velt says, in effect, we must scrutinise
the tariff every dosen years or so. 1
Bryan says we must repeal the tariff
bounties to trust-cornered articles.
Roosevelt recommends a safe, yet flex-
ible currency. Bryan demands govern-
ment guaranty for the deposits in na-
tional banks and government issue of
all currency.
Contrast the positions of the leaders
of-the two great parties on these most
important questions and the ordinary
reader will experience but litle diffi-
culty in determining which of them is
trying to dodge the question.
It is a difficult'matter, after a most
careful reading, to determine exactly
what President Roosevelt's position is
on any of the many national issues
touched upon.
On the other hand, Bryan has never
dodged an important issue. Those who
have kept up with his public utterances
have not the slightest doubt where he
stands.
