Bryan, as I hold him directly re-
sponsible for the death of every
one of the brave American SOL
diers slain in the Philippines.
1t is the encouragement held out
to the rebels by itr. Bryan and
others of his ilk that keeps up
the struggle there. The war was
over, but the sympathy and
promises held out by Mr.. Bryan
have caused the fighting to break
out afresh, and it will from this
time until concluded be fraught
with more disaster to our boys,
for they have slowly and surely
been teaching their adversa1ies
how to fight. For each man who
falls there, be he inspired by the
sense or duty or the love of war.
Mr.. Bryan is responsible. The
thought Of electing such a man
! as this to the presidency is utter

WAYNE MCVEAOH
CANNOT SUPPORT BRYAN

Wayne McVeegh, whom Presi-

ter to Italy, has decided to sup
port Mckinley and Roosevelt.
His reasons are given below:
The controlling reason is
the unwillingness / feel TO in
trust the government Of the
country TO the men who now
represent and control the Dem
ocratic organization, standing as
they do upon the Chicago plat
form of 1896. I fully appreciate
the disturbances OF having two
great political parties TO either of
which the destinies of this great
and growing republic can be

safely committed, but, in my
Judgment, the Democratic party
does not at present meet that re-
quirement.
1T seems 10 me the present
tendency Of President McKin-
ley's mind as to foreign policy
can be discerned in the true
American policy he IL now pur-
suing in China.

last I find myself in harmony
with the Republican platform on
that subject"
