THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE

Lincoln, Neb, July l7-Wm j.
Bryan's attention was called today to
toe fact that some anti imperialists
had announced they would be oppos-
ed to him on account of the silver
plank iu the platform, and he was
asked as to whether this fact would
seriously affect the anti imperialist
vote. He said
Several gold standard opponents
of imperialism have already annouuc
ed their intention to support the
Democratic ticket, although the anti
imperiallstic league has not acted
officially. In such matter each
individual is governed By his own
views as to the relative Importance
of the issue The Democratic plat
form declares the question of imperi
alism to be paramount issue If any
opponents of imperialism refuse to
support the Democratic ticket be-
cause of the eilver plank it must be
because he considers TIE money
question more important than the
Philippine question that is, he pre-
fers gold standard to bimeta'lic
republic When the test comes, |
believe that those who adhere to the
doctrine tha: governments derive
their just powers not from superior
forces but from the consent of the
governed, will support our ticket
even though they do not endorse the
silver plank A large majority of
the Democrats believe that restora
ton of bimetaliiem would prove a
blessing, but the anti.lmperlalists
who dispute this will admit that any
evils that might arise from oimetal
ism could be corrected more easily
than the evils which would follow
from the deliberate endorsement ol
miIitarism and imperialism
