Mr.. BRYAN 5 IDEA OF /.
VIEWS ISSUES OFF THE
CAMPAIGN
HE TALKS OF OPPOSITION
Discusses the Alleged Antipathy of
Anti-Imp eriaIists to the Money
Plank in P1atfOrm-MissOuri
Democrats Ignore Silver.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 17-William J.
Bryan's attention was called today to the
fact that some "anti-imperialists" had
announced they would be opposed to him
on account of the silver plank in the
platform, and he was asked as to whether
this fact would seriously affect the anti
imperialist vote. He said:
Several gold standard opponents of
Imperialism have already announced their
intention to support the Democratic tick
ct, although the Anti-Imperial league
has not acted officially. In such a matter
each individual is governed by his own
views as to the relative Importance Of is
sues The Democratic platform declares
the question of Imperialism to be the par
amount issue. If any opponent Of i'm
perialism refuses to support the Demo-
cratic ticket 1t must be because he con-
siders the money question more impor-
tant than the Philippine question; that
he prefers a gold standard empire to a
bimetallic republic 1 believe that when
the time comes those who believe that
the governments derive their just powers
not from superior force, but from the con-
sent of the governed, will indorse our
ticket, even though they do not support
the silver plank. A large number of
Democrats believe that a restoration of
bimetallism would be a blessing, but anti
lieve that evils following bimetallism
would be lesser than evils following a
deliberate Endorsement of Imperialism.

Gov. GoebeI.
The present governor, Beckham, will
hold this Office only until his successor
is elected and qualities, unless he should
himself be elected governor.
Hon. John w. Yerkes, the nominee for
governor, is lawyer and one of the
most prominent Republicans in Ken
lucky. He is at present a collector of
internal revenue, but before holding this
place had not been an officeholder. He
was strong candidate for United States
senator when Senator Deboe was elected.
After w. S. Taylor announced that he
would not be a candidate for renomina-
ton, Mr.. Yerkes announced himself a
candidate, and no other name has since
been mentioned for the place.
The convention was held in the Audi
torium. The boxes were nearly all filled
with ladies, and in one were Mrs. W. S.
Taylor, wife of the former Republican
governor, and four daughters. The con-
vention gave her three cheers when she
entered the building.
President of the state committee, c. M
Barnett, called the convention to order,
and presented ex-Lieuts Gov John M1r-

man. Mr.. MarshalPs speech dealt large
ly with Kentucky political affairs.
Judge T. u. Morrow was made perma-
nent chairman. Judge Morrow aroused
the convention to a high pitch Of en-
thusiasm in a short, but vigorous speech,
in which he declared that the Demo

The nomination of Mr. Yerkes was

had subsided, addressed the convention.

For perhaps two hours and half yes

everybody who shook hands with him
yesterday he murmured a pleasant, IT

first, but toward the end of the reception
1t seemed most delicate irony.
The parlors where the reception was
held yesterday were decorated with cut
flowers and palms. At the entrance to
the reception room a band was stationed
and played throughout the receiving
hours. Standing with Col. Roosevelt
were Senator Cushman K. Davis, Sen

After greeting Gov. Roosevelt the 1,5O0
guests passed on down the corridor,
