Bryan's obsession by the peace-at-any-price propaganda bordered on the fanatical. _From The Baltimore News._ A surrender to opportunism such as calls for a nation's contempt. _From The Chicago Herald._ As a private citizen he will be less a menace to the peace of the nation than he has been as Secretary of State. _From The Denver Post._ His services can be most satisfactorily dispensed with. _From The Kansas City Star._ Has not impressed the country as a practical man in dealing with large affairs. _From The Toledo Times._ He should support the President. _From The Terre Haute Star._ Now free to pursue the prohibition propaganda. _From The Newark (N.J.) Star._ The statement [Bryan's] is simply an effort to corral for himself a large voting element in the population. _From The Newark Evening News._ His narrow vision has overcome him. _From The Boston Traveler._ If war does come Mr. Bryan will be the one American held most responsible for the trouble. _From The Boston Globe._ Mr. Wilson has been relieved of one of his many problems. _From The Boston Herald._ Is certainly not inspired by a sense of loyalty to the party or the country. _From The Lowell Courier-Citizen._ Lagged superfluous on a stage in which he played no part beyond that of an amanuensis, and hardly even that. _From The Manchester (N.H.) Union._ Should mark the end of Bryanism in American politics. _From The Providence Journal._ He has bowed himself into oblivion. GERMAN-AMERICAN PRESS. _Under the caption, "He Kept His Vow," the evening edition of the New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung, which for months had been referring to Secretary Bryan as "Secretary Bryan Stumping," as opposed to "Secretary Lansing Acting," said on June 9:_ As unreservedly as we believe that he [Mr. Bryan] is sacrificing high office to a principle--something that seems to be incomprehensible not alone to American politicians; readily as we pay him tribute that a man in public life has again had the courage to act, despite the machinations of editorial offices, pulpits, and the counting rooms of money agents; clearly as we see again his latest act, the old Bryan, who can sacrifice nothing to utilitarianism, everything to an idea, no matter how fantastic it may be, nevertheless it must not be left unmentioned that his exit out of the Wilson Cabinet was under all circumstances only a question of time. Bryan may want to be a candidate in 1916, a rival of Wilson; there may be a political motive at the bottom of the dramatically staged resignation; the fact remains that two hard heads, Wilson and Bryan, could not permanently agree. One had to yield; one had to go. Just as Bismarck had to go when Wilhelm II. felt himself safe in the saddle, so Bryan had to yield as soon as Woodrow Wilson himself took the reins, all the reins, into his hand.
