Bryan’s fading smile over Admiral Dewey candidacy
The piece analyzes William Jennings Bryan’s reaction to Admiral Dewey entering the race for the Democratic nomination. It notes Bryan’s reluctance to discuss the matter, hints at political calculations by rivals like Perry Belmont and ex-Senator Gorman, and suggests Dewey’s candidacy could unite opposition to Bryan. It argues Bryan favors law and opposes mixing naval fame with politics, while urging Chicago citizens to enforce the law to ensure prosperity.

Chicago Labor Unrest and the Drift Toward Disorder
The article warns that Chicago faces rising anarchistic pressure from labor groups, risking riots and forced clashes with authorities.

It also reviews political speeches on imperial policy by Long and Reid, summarizing their stance on Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and constitutional reach, emphasizing prudent, citizen-focused policy.
