William Jennings Bryan, whose eleventh
"burial" took place a 'few weeks ago, seems to
have made a brilliant "come back" while Theo-

month ago, appears to be about ready for his
third or fourth "burial."
Ihe Oregonian, which so willingly assisted in
burying" Bryan had its editor at St. Louis and
he wrote home as follows:
"Bryan will make no uprnhra in litis convention except by eourlrsy.

Reasons lor Roosevelt s most recent "burial"
