RINGING NOTE FOR BRYAN.
Prominent Delaware Pastor TO Cast
His First Democratic Vote.

Rev. Joseph Brown Turner, pastor
of tile Dover Presbyterian church.
Dover, Del who has announced his in
tention to forsake the Republican party
and support the Democratic ticket, said
in an interview on Wednesday:
II shall vote for Mr.. Bryan in No.
vember, though | have never before
voted the Democratic ticket. While |
am somewhat reluctant to talk about
my political relations. | see no reason
why l should not candidly state some
of the reasons for my personal convic'
tions and my change Of political align
ment ut this time.
1.-THE ax is laid at the root of the tree
under whose shadow we have sat with
delight. 1t is Il time for every man
who loves free institutions and true
Democratic principles to speak and keep
on speaking. No more precious legacy
ever came to any people than that
bequeathed by our forefathers to all
succeeding generations of Americans.
This generation is in danger of belitting
that legacy and of casting 1t wholly
aside.
1--WE have outgrown the principles
of our fathers, we are told, and we
may safely discard them. We cannot
keep to the old lines and continue to
expand. We cannot keep inside Of
constitutional limitations and be Il
world power. Then we had better not
be a world power.
II am constitutionalist Until we
change our constitution in the orderly
way provided in the constitution itself,
I can see nothing but overwhelming
disaster in a refusal or Il neglect to abide
by its guarantees and restrictions. We
have gone outside of those restrictions
and guarantees under the leadership of
the present administration, and what
the end may be under such leadership
it is not difficult to foresee.
Mr.. Mckinley declares, with hands
uplifted to heaven. that moral reasons
force US to stay in the Philippines for
il we were to withdraw our armies the
people would not be able to govern
themselves. These are the vicious
stages by which we have been led to an
ambitious leadership, lusting for power
and hiding its purposes behind wordy
fog of pious and patriotic cant.
This is why l am willing to speak.
This is why l shall cast my ballot for
William j. Bryan as against William
Mckinley
They say that Mr.. Bryan is not
safe man Possibly he is not, But when
| find one man engaged in breaking up
the furniture of my house, while another
Is setting fire to the house itself, will
attend to the fire-bug first. | do not be-
lieve, though, that Mr.. Bryan is an I'M
safe man. His utterances during the
whole of this campaign have been states
and every word has rung true.
His indianapolis speech is the noblest
utterance this nation has ever heard
since Lincoln spoke atGettysburg. If
he is elected we will be spared the
repetition of the shameful spectacle Of
an administration endeavoring In an
official capacity to perpetuate itself.
He says he will not accept second
and | believe him. He
speaks like an honest, straightforward,
man. -
