WOULD FREE THE FILIPONOs

In his speech accepting the Demo

j. Bryan made this positive statement
as to the policy he will pursue if elect
ed President:
IF elected president, / shall con-
vene Congress in extraordinary ses-
sion as soon as L am inaugurated, and
recommend an immediate declaration
of the nations purpose:
First, To establish stable form of
government in the Philippine Islands,
just as we are now establishing a
stable form of government in the is
land of Cuba;
Second, To give independence to
the Filipinos, just as we promised to
give independence to the Cubans;
Third, To protect the Filipinos
from outside interference while they
work out their destiny, just as we
have protected the republics of Cen
trail and South America, and are, by
the Monroe doctrine, pledged to pro-
tect Cuba"

THE PEOPLE BELIEVE HIM.

Norfolk Landmark.
Mr. Bryan has met the issue in man
ly and straightforward way. He has
made his words simple and his meaning
clear. Nobody can mistake his meaning
He intends to put an immediate end to
imperialism if he is invested with Presi-
Dental power If President Mckinley had
said this, no one would have known
whether to believe him or not The
general disposition would, perhaps, have
been not to believe him, because the
record of the present chief magistrate
has shown him prone to do precisely
what he says he will not do and not to
do what he solemnly declares he will do.
But when Mr.. Bryan says he will do a
thing, the people have the mans record
to support his promise. There is no deny
ing that the chances of the Democratic
ticket have been considerably strength
ened by the frankness and clearness with
which Mr.. Bryan has met the vital
question of the day.
