HAS NO USE
FOR Mr.. BRYAN,

There seems to be strong aroma of
Republicanism at Brown University, and
the faculty comes out fairly and square
ly as against Organism and all it's un-
American features. The professors Of
Brown are or the opinion that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will surround himself with ad-
visors who will look after affairs OF state
In a satisfactory manner, something,
which in their opinion, Mr.. Bryan would
not do.
President Faunce is out OF town ut
present, but the other professors have
spoken quite freely OF their views on the
political situation.
Prof. Albert Hardness expresses 1t as
his opinion that President Mckinley IS
a safe man TO whom can be entrusted
the execution .of the government with
out anxiety. lie believes that IL Bryal
were elected president there would pe
discord and dssension among all classes.
With reference 10 expansion he sees no
other course than TO retain the Philip
pine Islands.
Prof. Alonzo Williams Is n stalwart Re
publican, and he considers the two main
questions which should have the atten-
tion OF the campaign to be money ard
tariff, for upon these the credit. intiG-
ence and profound respect which the Eu-
ropean nations give TO the United States
is built
Prof. w. w. Bailey has no hesitancy in
asserting that he is out and out a Re-
publican and that he stands for imperial
ism and everything else represented in
the platform.
Prof. Courtney Langdon believes that
keeping the gold standard Is the safest
and best thing 10 do. lie has a great
i. alft
dent Mckinley, but thinks Mr.. Mckinley
is bending too much and catering for
the weaker element for the past few
months. He criticses the president for
backing water on the Porto Rican tariff
and not encouraging civil service. but he
does endorse the administration on the
Philippine question.
Prof. Wilfred III. Arunroe signihed his
intention to vote for Mr.. Mckinley, he
cause he felt mat under the guidance OF
Mr.. Hay the affairs of state, both for
eign and domestic would be better direct
ed than Mr.. Bryan could possibly man
age them. He is a firm believer I'm sound
money and supported the Democratic
ticket when that stood ror sound money.
Prof Henry c. Bumpus is a firm be-
lever I'm the Republican party. lie
would consider the election OF Mr. Bryan
a public calamity, from which industrial
and educational institutions could with
difficulty recover lie considers the be-
havior OF the administration in Cuba and
Porto Rico highly commendable. lie
also approves of our withdrawal from
Chinese territory, and Is I'm doubt as to
what our final 0uty may be in the Phi
lppines.
Prof Henry 3. Gardner stands with
the Republican party lie sees no other
alternative than TO retain the Philippines
for the present lie also endorses the
gold standard.
Prof Alpheus l.. Packard says he sees
no other course than TO vote for McKin-
ley and sound money. The all-absorbiny
issue is sound money. lie says also that
Il is a pity that a nation of 700O0.000 OF
people. as wealthy and as successful as
we have been. cannot take care of the
Philippines He also has thorough dts
trust of Bryan and does not admire hts
spirit.
Prof. John ". Appleton stamps the sill
vor question as a dead issue and indorses
the gold standard. lie is not exactly sat
isfied with the situation i'm the Philip
pines. but he fails To see how the country
can release itself at present
Several other professors intimated they
would support the Republican ticket, 5nt
IL Is n notable fact that no one of those
approached evinced a willingness to be
identified with the Democratic party.
