It will be necessary to regal ncontroof the party organization To do thisthe frindof reform throughout theentire country must work together Ademocratic paper of national scope offers the best means for carrying onthis work and the Commoner occupiesthis field The campaign of educationand organization which Mr Bryan an¬
