THE BERRY-BRYAN DINNER,
All Shades of Democratic Sentiment Gita
er About the Board,
Saturday night's dinner to Btate
‘Treasurer Berry was a notable Demo-
cratic love feast, and was held in Phil-
adelphia, Mr. Bryan, who made it a
special point to attend, is unquestiona-
bly one of the most popular men in the
country and, since Mr. Roosevelt's
message, the Republican’s are hardly
in a position to make their usual com-
ments on his extremely progressive
program. Mr. Berry is a Peonsyl
vania Democrat whom all honest citi-
jzens love and honor and who has
done this state a very great service by
his courage and thoroughness in -top-
ping t he grafting in the Capitol con-
tracts and in exposing what had been
done in that direction and forcing the
trial pow in progress in Harrisburg.
All shades of Democratic sentiment
were represented at the dinner; and
while it was a social and not a political
