Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27.-William
J. Bryan gave out the following inter-
view this morning: II have for sew
eral years had in contemplation the
establishment Of a weekly newspaper
and this seems an opportune time for
undertaking it. Intending to devote
my life to the study and discussion of
public questions, / have chosen this
method because it will best accom-
plish the purpose which l have in
view. Through such paper l shall be
able to keep in touch with social and
political problems. The paper will at
the same time, if successful, provide
an income sufficient for my pecuniary
needs, and this kind of work will al
low me more time with my family
than have been able to enjoy for sew
eral years past.
81 expect to lecture occasionally, es-
pecially in college towns, where / can
speak to students, but my principal
work will be done with the pen, or per
haps should say with the pencil. The
paper will be called The Commoner,
and will defend the principles set
forth in the Kansas City platform.
The first issue will appear in January.
