dent holds in trust for us shall be not used to suppress it.
 Because we thus believe We oppose the reelection of MT. Mckinley. The supreme purpose of the people in this momentous campaign should be to stamp with their hnal dialpproval his attempt to grasp im- perial power. A self-governing people can have no more imperative duty than to drive from public life chief magistrate who, whether in weakness or of wicked purpose, has used his temporary authority to sub vert the character of their government and to destroy their national ideals.
 We, therefore, in the belief that it is essential to this crisis of the American people again to declare their faith in the usual application of the Declaration of In dependence and to reassert their will that their servants shall not have or exercise any powers whatever, other than those con- ferred by the Constitution, earnestly make the following recommendations to our coun- trymen:

 Third Party Movement
 After the adoption of the resolutions en- dorsing Bryan, the representatives of the thlrd party movement met and selected Thomas M. Osborne of Auburn, N. Y for permanent chairman and Everett V. Abbott or New York for permanent secretary
 A motion was made and carried that a convention be held in New York City Sep tember for the purpose of nominating a ticket.
 It is said that the third party men today offered the Presidential nomination to Moorfield Storey of Massachusetts,, but that MT. Storey declined the honor. William l. Palmer of Colorado was reported to be their choice for Vice President The leaders of the movement said tonight that they ex- pected large representation at their con- vention in New York on September 5, and that candidates for President and Vice President would then be surely nominated. Secretary MiZe of the Liberty Congress to- day received a letter from William Lloyd Garrison of Boston, pledging the writer's support to Bryan.
