Educated by my father, James G.
Birney, in the principles of the Declara-
ton of independence, supported before
the Civil war on the platform and in the
press the candidates OF the republican
party. When in 1896 the republican
party allied itself with the dangerous
classes, the trusts, money syndicates and
monometallists, and became the repre-
sentative of organized wealth instead of
the whole people, l refused to follow in
its new and fatally dangerous policy.
"Among the reasons why l am for
Bryan are the following:
"First-He is devoted to the principles
which underlie all the institutions of
our republic.
"Second-Having been exposed for.
four years to the ridicule, vilifcation and
misrepresentation of an able partisan
press, he possesses more than ever the
dence of millions of voters. None but
few partisan fanatics believe that his cleo
ton would lessen the prosperity of the
country, an idea held by many in 1896.
"Third- Bryan is conservative and
safe, Mckinley lets things drift; Bryan
is independent, Mckinley is benevolent
ly assimilated by political plotters;
Bryan is consistent, Mckinley sees
plain duty today and repudiates it to-
morrow; Bryan would make good
president, Mckinley good Methodist
bishop.
"Fourth-Bryan would extricate the
country from existing Cuban, Philippine
and Chinese complications and diminish
the war debt, but who can foresee the
wars, expenditures, intrigues, under
standings alliances, surrenders Of Alas
kan territory, Eaganism, Carterism and
religious propagandism into which Nc
Kinley might lead the United States?
"Fifth-Bryan is the only man who
can be elected president against the des-
perate opposition and ample resources
of the money power"
