Willing to Try Bryan

'If you have not been deceived in a man, and he promises to do what is right, you are not to blame if you try him. MT Bryan to me stands in that position. Even his enemies say nothing against him as a man. In this very city ne has made the most explicit promises to pursue that poi- cy which we advocate. l am disposed to trust him. If I look on the other side in my opinion, President Mckinley nSS prom ised several things and has done several things that do not run in harmony with his promises. But now he pledges himself to pursue a policy which We Gondemn; if we vote to support him in that policy, we have no right to complain. 1 believe Bryan is as honest in his purpose to redeem this country from degredation and this policy or imperialism as any man who sits in this audience. Therefore, for one am in favor of supporting MT, Bryan in spite of his beliefs in things concerning which he hss not my approval z.z.

Next March, I trust we will have an inauguration to be followed by policy which will bring the troops out of the Philippines, diminish the death roll and the massacre of people in this distant land and we shall then set up three young republics which shall glory in their orlgln through the policy of the American people; raised from a condition of tyranny into an opportunity to govern themselves and 10 enjoy the fruits of their own industry and to decide for themselves what their public policy shall be-

by Associated trcSSD
LONDON, Dec. S.-Thoush the trouble
between Holland and Portugal can scarce
~ result in war it is far more serious and
interesting than generally regarded here
Great Britain is concerned in the affair
more deeply than appears on the surface.
for the Associated Press learns that it is
due 10 q British protest to Portugal that
the exequater OF Herr Pott, the Dutch
Consul at Lorenzo Marques. was with
drawn. and the visit of the powerful Brit
ish fleet to Portugal is something more
than coincidence.
The Lisbon press frankly declares it was
intended as warning demonstration 10
other nations to keep their hands off Por-
tugaI. The British officials also do not
hesitate to admit their Governments read
mess to back up the action which Portu-
gal took at it's request. Hence, Holland
can do little more than gracefully make
the best OF a bad job. unless she receives
the support Of some OF the great Powers,
which is a very remote contingency.
