Pres. John ]. Valentine of the Wells
Fargo Express, one of the most prom
lnent republicans of the Pacific coast,
has come out for Bryan. He says:
"Believing that there is no middle
ground between the claim of freedom
that all men are entitled to equal
rights and the dogma of tyranny that
might makes right, therefore, what
ever the independents do, l favor the
endorsements of Bryan and Stevenson
and the straight support of the demo-
cratic nominees.
George S. Ramsay, superintendent
of schools, Fresno, Cal., says:
II was a republican for years, but
propose to 90 some work for Bryan
this year. I do not like to see a man
in the presidential chair that's so
much like jelly fish as Mckinley has
shown himself to be. If Mr.. BRYAN
is elected he will be q man that will
have some positive convictions, and
will not be controlled by men like

Judge P. A. Louble, president of the
Ohio State Bar Association, an ardent
and lifelong republican, who was at
one time a candidate for congress in
McKinley's district, in his annual ad-
dress to the association recently, said:
"The republican administration and
leaders have utterly disregarded the
Constitution and the principles upon
which our government rests, because
they were supposed to stand in the
way Of a mere partisan advantage and
because they interfered with the new
republican doctrine that trade and not
liberty of the Constitution follows the
flag. Such a doctrine must be ex-
posed and it's adherents swept out of

opposed to the policy of Imperialism
inaugurated by the McKinly adminis-
tratiOn."
