Taft Patronage and Johnson Rise in 1908 Campaign
A Chicago meeting recounts distrust of both major parties in 1908. Speakers blame Taft on political patronage and praise John Johnson from the county poor house as a masses candidate. They argue Bryan adores the Democratic party but forced himself in 1896 and 1900 and now claims to remain faithful. Page 11 Fourth Column continuation referenced.
Some of David B. Hills Pungent Pessimisms
There is no Democratic party. Both parties are disorganized. There was an opportunity, but fear it has been overlooked. What better man could stand against the candidate representing power and patronage than John Johnson, who spent his boyhood days in a county poorhouse. The Democratic party never wanted Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan wanted the Democratic party. Every time Bryan says I have kept the faith, it makes me smile. He has kept it out in Nebraska, which is now Republican.
