candidate has been, relegated to the

All the clevens In the Interscholastic

that some snappy games will be seen.
This league should he an invaluable help

little interest I'm the Providence schools,
and consequently derives very little bene-

this fall for the third year, is undoubted-
ly ono of the best tackles Brown has

Browns superior weight will play punt

BRYAN ON THE PLATFORM
PROBABILITY THAT CHICAGO DECLARA-
TION WILL BE REAFFIRMED.
DECLINES TO DISCUSS VICE-PRESIDENTIAI
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND
OTHER PLANKS.

Lincoln Neb.. June 2J.-W. ]. Bryan returned
to-day from his Wisconsin fishing trip and will
remain here until after the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. He said he had been placed
in a wrong position by some one who had pre-
sumed TO outline his plan of campaign.
ANY statements made by anybody in regard
to campaign plans are without foundation or
authority he added. mo plans have been
made by by any one for me and no plans
will be made till after the convention has been
held"
Mr.. Bryan asked whether he could say
anything in regard to the platform to be adopted
at Kansas City He replied:
No one of course. can say what language will
be used in setting forth the party principles
tenor OF the platform from the platforms
adopted in the State conventions As a large
majority of the delegates have been elected by
conventions which reaffrmad the Chicago plat
form, 1t is safe to assume that the Kansas City
platform will Peafirm the Chicago platform and
VIII contain nothing which can be construed
as surrender or modification OF the platform
on the old issues.
y is equally certain that there will be strong
ana definite plank against the trusts. There
is also no doubt that the plank against imperial
ism VIII be clear and explicit. Militarism will
Beers.
This much is evident from what has already
taken place
Asked If there any truth in the rumors
that Nlce-Presdent will be chosen whose
views on the money question will be attractive
to those who opposed the ticket in 1896 Mr.
Bryan replied
/ do not care to discuss the Vice Presidential
candidacy now, further than to say that I as
sumo that the candidate nominated for the
Vice-Presdency will be in harmony with the
platform The Vice-President not only presides
over the Senate while the President is alive but
assumes the office of President in case OF the
PRESIDENTS death, and 1t is hardly probable that
delegates to National convention would write
a platform and then select for either place on a
ticket a man who would repudiate the platform
NO man worthy TO be considered for such an
office would accept nomination upon a plat
form repugnant to his views.
IN every campaign men support a ticket with
out approving all Of the platform but no one
can defend platform unless he believes in II
Many tariff reform gold Democrats supported
the republican ticket four years ago although
they dissented from the protection plank But
the Republican Convention would not have
nominated tariff reformer upon a protection
platform. There is sometimes a Joint debate
between candidates opposing tickets but
not between candidates the same ticket
