William j.. Bryan announced Monday
night to the democratic party in con-
vention here and to the nation at large

convention. The resolutions adopted
are as follows:

ment by Injunction and the black list. and

other nation, the retention OF ~greenbacks,
and retirement of national bank notes.

tarism and a large standing army. express
sympathy with the Beers In their struggle

personally, but he was consulted con-
corning it, and before it was read to the
convention he had approved of it
throughout.
Mr.. Bryan's speech before the demo-
cratic convention dealt almost entirely
