sixteen consecutive years prior TO
President Cleveland's first term, has
come out publicly for Bryan. He says
in part:
II shall work and vote for William
J. Bryan because, while I do not ap-
prove OF all his political views, con-
slider him ,truer and safer American
than William Mckinley. If Mckinley
is reelected, surrounded as he is by
foreign influences and by plutocrats
and trust managers of two continents,
the commercialism, the militarism and
the reasonable surrender in Alaska
and in Nicaragua canal treaty, and
above all, the imperialism in which he
has commenced, will be taken as ap-
proved by the people and firmly es.
ltablished on the ruins of American
liberty. When his imperial designs
are accomplished everything generous
