Bryan said that the money question I'M
doubtedly would be again the leading

THE Chicago PLATFORM, said Colonel
Bryan, "s.il embodies the sentiments OF
the great mass of the people of this coun-
try. There Is no reason for a popular
change OF mind on any of the issues claar-
defined in the Chicago platform"
He was then asked if the questions grow
ing out of the war would obscure the old
issue.
II don't see why they Should" said
Colonel Bryan. "The mere fact that peo-
pie are talking about the war does not in
dictate at all that they have abandoned
or forgotten old ideas on National policies
having no reference to the war. People
can talk Of important matters of absorbing
but temporary interest without forgetting
or abandoning their political views or
principles"
He was asked about the statement he
made in Savannah last night and widely
published this morning.

the question of the Philippines In ganging
the trend of popular opinion said Colonel
Bryan. 1.-THE feeling OF the country which
opposes the return of the Philippines TO
Spain has been mistaken by many for the
lands. 1t does not follow that this is the
case. There rs big difference between
the establishment OF an independent FORM
of government in the Philippines and an
nexation as colonial possessions OF TINS
country. Give the PHILIPPINES exactly what
we have promised 10 give the Cubans; that
is democracy. Taking the island ow.rlgnt
is anything else but democratic. In that
case we stuitify ourselves and go back
on hundred years teaching We repu-
disne the spirit OF Lafayette and advocate
the doctrines of Warren Hastings. When
we acquire the Philippines and hold them
as colonies. we virtually say that Lafayette
made mistake In not subtugating tue
land he helped TO make free. Our rsspon-
sibillties in the snatter of the philippines
lies in the urgency of giving them their
freedom and protecting them in 1t after
we give it to them"
