pArEMAN ATTACKS W. J. BRYAN.
Accuses the Lnte Candidate of PO-
Iiticul Forgery.

LEWISTON Me-, June 21.-Prof. L. c..
Bateman of Auburn who was the candidate
of the peoples party of Maine for governor
last year and who is leader of the middle
of-the-road forces in this state, today pub
lished an attack on William j. Bryan. Prof.
Bateman says that populist Congressman
Freeman knowles of South Dakota, while
on his recent trip to his old home in Skowhe-
gan, Me, gave out the information that
Bryan's recent gift of 81 500 to the popuist
national committee was made with the dis
tlnct understanding that no action against
fusion should be taken by the peoples party
before the next national convention. This,
Prof. Bateman also says, is nothing moro
than direct bribery. Prof. Bateman al2o says
that Bryan has appended his (Bateman's)
name to Senator Aliens letter of notification
given out last September. Bateman was soc
retary of the notification committee but did
not sign the Letter in question. He says that
Bryan's action in printing his name on the
letter in his new book is an act OF political
forgery. Prof. Bateman is a delegate to the
middle of-the-road national conference at
Nashville, Tenn, July 4. He says lie will
bring these matters before that body.

out history OF his mental processes from
