rer to the evidence In the disbarment

Attorney D. Brupjes. After review
ing all the tsstim ony the Judge coz

HE'S FOR CITY OWNERSHIP.
Col. Bryan Gives Out an Interview
That Leaves no Doubt.

That Leaves no Doubt.
New York, April 20 Col. W. ].
Bryan, in an interview published
here, has placed himself squarely in
favor of municipal ownership of pub
lie franchises.
You can say for me-" said the
Colonel, hat I believe all public
franchises should remain ia the pc.
session of the cities. Whether the
right to operate a street car line be
granted to an individual or corpora
ton, by lease or for percentage of
the receipts. the title should never
pass from the hands of the munich
patty This question is beng so
generally egitated in the cities
throug bout the country that it rises
to the dig nifty Of national issue.
OF course most of the gold men
are opposed to such principles.
They are mostly capitalists and are
opposed to the common people, but
time and egitaiion will eventually
bring about the supremacy of the
the masses, even though we fai
many times before that period il
reached I never have faltered fol-
second in my opposition to trusts
and monopolies. I believe they viii
be overcome some day ia the nea
future"
