he concluded his speech, in the course
of which he said:
''At the close of the Japanese Chinese
war there was talk of China paying an
indemnity of $25O,0OO,0O0 in gold. Our
papers began to discuss where the gold
was to come from. There was not
nation which had any more gold than
it desired, and, therefore, to have furn-
ished that gold to China to be paid to
Japan would have disturbed the finan-
ces of all the gold using nations of the
world. And yet, that was only a small
m after. If we are defeated in this
campaign; IL the influence of this ma
tion Is cast on the side of gold, then
the forces which have conspired to
force this fight upon us will be turned
against weaker nations and the period
of falling prices again indefinitely con.
tinIed.

Believes Parents Have the Right to Send
Children to Private Schools.


Madison, Wis, Oct. 30.-Mr Bryan
tonight made the following statement
to the representatives of the United
Associated presses:
Il find the republicans are circulating
among Catholic citizens the charges
that am or have been member of
the A. p. A. / have also learned that
] have been accused of being member
of a society which, think, is known
as the Junior Order of American Me-
chanics. At the same time have been
accused in other quarters of being op-
posed to the public school system and
of having voted against the teaching
of the English language in the public
schools of New Mexico. While l have
attempted to confine my discussions Of
public issues to questions raised by my
platform and have considered the mon
ey question as paramount to all others,
I take this opportunity to explain my
position upon the religious controversy
which has been raised.
Il am not and never have been q
HiGIlUGI VI the "A. L, a., pI Ol Llle y uulOI
Order of American Mechanics or of any
other Society hostile to any church, re-
ligion or race, nor have ever applied
for membership in any such organiza-
ton. While l am member of the
Presbyterian church, / have always be-
lieved there should be no religious test
applied in the holding of public office,
and have not allowed religious differ
ences to affect my conduct in the dis
charge of the duties of public office. |
am a believer in the publoc school sys-
tenn. I attended public schools my
self and my children attend public
school
While I recognize the right of par
ents to send their children to private
schools and college, if they so desire,
believe that the free public school must
remain a part of our system of govern
ment in order that means of education
shall be within the reach of every child
in the land. The democratic members
of congress voted against a proposed
amendment to the constitution of New
Mexico, which compelled the teaching
of the English language in the public
schools, not because the democrats
were opposed to public schools or the
teaching Of the English language in
such schools, but because they did not
deem It necessary or wise to require
pledge from the people Of New Mexico
which had not been required of the
people of other territories seeking adj
mission.
II trust that those who support the
policies set forth in the democratic
platform will not allow themselves to
be alienated from my support by any
affidavits which may be circulated by
political enemies. have tried so far
as / could to conduct this campaign in
an open and honorable way and have
insisted that those who are with us
should refrain from personal criticism
of my opponent and leave the people to
pass judgment upon the principles
which we reDrpSent ''45

What He Has to Say Concerning Mckinley
and Bryan.
Washington, Oct. 30.-J. w. Eckels,
president of the A. P. A. to-day made
formal statement in response to the
accusation that he had drawn the order
into fight on Mr. Bryan. Il have
done,' he said, "only what / was re-
quired to do, as an examination of the
official minutes of the order in this city
city in May will show. In pursuance
of the last clause in that report, which
recommended that provision be made
to ascertain the attitude of all candi-
dates, 1 have given to the public the
attitude Of Mr.. Bryan toward the
principles Of the order. / have not
given the record of Mr.. Mckinley while
in congress, because the supreme coun-
Gil had already passed upon him and
his record, and declared his unobjec-
tionabla to the order. This was suf1i :
cient to prevent me from inquirlng
further into his record. AS to Mr.. Bry-
an, have simply followed the instruc-
tions Of the supreme council. In re-
gard to the kicks which are being made
/ will say, so far have heard of only
four councils and two suspended mem
bers making objection to what is being
DONE"
