The Executive Committee of the "Na-
tional" or third ticket Democrats issued
Tuesday an address to the country, justi-
flying their action. They hold that mas
much the Chicago Convention departed
from the recognized Democratic faith and
promulgated doctrines new and strange,
all Democrats are absolved from obliga-
ton to support the ticket and platform"
The committee might have quoted in
supporter It's claIm Mr.. Bryan decIara-
ton that he would not follow the
Democratic party to a gold standard, "
and his subsequent assertions February
last that "men who honestly differ upon
the paramount public questions cannot
afford to be harmonized by a national
convention" Especially, he said, they
cannot do this if they believe the policy
adopted would be ruinous, because q
mans duty to his country is higher thar
his duty to his party"
