Special to The Washington Post
Lincoln, Neb.. June 25-William !
Bryan, in an authorized interview siven
to-day TO al Omaha WorId-HeraId cor
respondent, broke his long silence on the
question Of the platform 10 be adopdeI at
Kansas City July 4. and the candidate for
vice President. Mr.. Bryan was asked
whether he could say anything in REGARD
10 the platform 10 be adopted at kansas
City. lie replied:
NO one, Of course. can say what Ian
suaSe will be used in setting forth the
party principles, but some idea can be
obtained as to the general tenor from the
platforms adopted in the State conven-
lions. As large majority of the dele
gates have been selected by conventions
which reaffirmed the Chicago platform. il
IS safe 10 assume that the Kan-as CITY
platform Will reaftirm the Chicago plat
FORM, and will contain nothing which can
ce construed as a surrender or modifca-
ton OF that platform on the old issues.
II is equally certain that there will be
strong and definite plank against trusts.
Ihere Is also no doubt that the plank
against Imperialism will be clear and ex-
plicit- Militarism will be denounced and
sympathy expressed for the Beers. This
much Is evident from what has already
taken place"
As 90 the Vice Presidency,
"You have refused to discuss the Vice
Presidency heretofore, Mr.. Bryan. Is
there any truth in the rumor that Vice
President will be chosen whose views on
the money question will be attractive to
those who opposed the ticket in 1872
1T is true that 1 have refused to dis
cuss the Vice Presidency" repl,eI Mr.
Bryan, 'and l do not care TO . now,
further than to say that | Z. - that
the candidate nominated for Vice Presi-
dent will be in harmony with the plat
form. The Vice President not only pre-
sides over the Senate while the President
is alive, but assumes the office of Presi-
dent in case of the Presidents death, AMI
it is hardly possible that delegates to a
national convention would write a plat
form and then select for either place on
ticket a man who would repudiate the
platform. No man worthy to be consid-
cred for such an office would accept a
nomination upon platform repugnant to
his views on any important issue In
every campaign men support a ticket
without approving all the platform, but
no one can defend a platform unless he
believes in it
MANY tariff reform Gold Democrats
supported the Republican ticket in 1895;
although they dissented from the protec-
ton plank. But the Republican cOnven-
tion would not have nominated a tariff
reformer on protection platform. There
is sometimes a joint debate between can
didates on opposing tickets, but not be-
tween candidates on the same ticket"
