IN BEHALF OF BRYAN.
Maryland Democrats Appeal for In
sGrUcted Delegates.

ELLICOTT CITY. Nd. March 21.-A cir
cular letter is being widely distributed
from the Baltimore headquarters Of the
Maryland Democratic Association in the
interest OF the Bryan Democracy in the
coming primary elections.
The letter indicates that a determined
tight is to be made throughout the state
for Instructed delegations for the silver
leader against all compromises and uncer-
tainties In che course OF the circular the
association says,
There would not be a particle Of doubt
OF securing a Bryan delegation from Mary
land If his opponents would meet ms In a
fair and manly way. We challenge them TO
put up delegates in the primaries operIy
pledged for the gold standard or against
Bryan, and we viii put up delegates open
ly pledged Tor Bryan and see which will
win
Isn't that a fair proposition
But II they refuse 10 do this il can only
b. for the purpose OF deceiying persons in
TO voting IOr delegates supposed TO be for
Bryan. but who would turn out In the con-
yentiOn to be against him Therefore. we is
sue this warning. which We expect TO re-
peat. and ask you TO repeat to others. Be
ware Of unpledged delegates. Any delegate
who refuses TO be instructed to vote for
Bryan does not intend to vote for him: any
delegate who is not pledged for Bryan. yCu
may be sure. is secretly pledged against
him
"Uninstructod delegates may be very
proper when il is not known definitely lust
what questions will be before the couvtc-
tiOn. but in this coming convention there
viii be but one question. namely: For Prv-
an and the Chicago platform. with the ad -
diuon OF pianks against trusts and Inperi-
alism, or against them. Upon that oues-
tiOn il is the right and duty OF the peopIe
themselves TO speak. and the only way they
can do so is by instructing the delegates.
This Is our only safe course. and the
only course for Democrats to pursue.
Any talk OF sending a contesting dele
cation would be disapproved. we assure
you, by the National Committee and by
Mr.. Bryan himself, and. besides. il is folly.
because. il We are a minority we Ia e no
right 10 send delegation. but il W are
a majority. then, in the absence OF fraud.
which is not to be anticipated We can send
the regular delegation.
We believe that a large majority OF the
Democrats Of Maryland are for Bryan. and
that We viii carry the primaries for him.
The primaries will be called by the
DemOcatic State Central Committee in con-
junction with the committee OF seven in
Baltimore and the county committee in the
counties. and every voter who intends to
support the nominee of the Democratic Ma
uOnsl Convention will have the right to
vote in the primaries, and no others. and
We urge every friend OF Bryan 10 be sure
10 vote in the primaries.
The only danger We have feared is that
Bryan's friends might be deceived in vOt-
ing for unpledged delegates, and. therefore.
We repeat again 1.-THE warning. Insist upon
instructed delegates"
