of an S5-per cent. citizen. When You
talk to them of human rights they

WILL BRYAN DoDeE2

This evening William Jennings
Bryan, tho Democratic candidate for
president, will address two meetings
in this city-one at Ninth and Lom-
bard streets, early in the evening. and
the other. an overflow meeting, in the
Grand Opera House at o'clock. Great
interest attaches TO the former because
the Democratic County Executive
Committee has promised to give John
p. Nields. prominent young Repub-
lican OF this city. a seat ON the plat
form and to afford him opportunity to
asiS MI Bryan these questions:
/. VIII he. n elected president, as
commander-in-ch Immediately with
draw the American army from the
Philippine Islands?
2. How soon does ne contemplate
that stable form of government can
be given to the Philippine Islands?
3. How soon after a stable form Of
government Is established does he pro-
pose that Congress shall declare the
independence OF those islands?
4. How long after a stable form of
government Is established and inde-
pendence IS declared does he propose
that the American protectorate over
the Philippine Islands shall continue2
8. Will he pay the obligations Of
this government in silver or gold, If
elected president?
It must be borne in mind that this
feature Of the meeting viii be one Of
Democratic contrivance. and that the
presence Of Mr.. Nields upon the plat
form viii be the result Of a challenge
Issued to him BY Chairman Neary by
direction OF the Democratic Couray
Committee. When they issued it they
had no Idea that it would be accepted,
and we're astounded when he replied
that he would be on hand to ask the
questions and hear the replies.
Since then it has developed that the
Democratic County Executive Com
mittee entered into the engagement
without consulting Mr.. Bryan, and Mr..
Nields has put its members and Mr..
Bryan in a position which IS anything
but enviable- If Mr. Bryan answers
the questions fairly he will lose thous-
ands Of votes. II he dodges Them his
loss VIII be fully as great. and II lie
denies Mr. Nields the right to ask the
questions publicly after the Demo
cratic County Executive Committee
has made positive arrangement TO
that effect it viii be an evidence of
weakness and cowardice unexampled
in the nations history.

Registration fraud is a grave crime.
It strikes at the very foundation Of

much unfavorable comment because

pay IL, or viii both he and Hyland get
off without punishment? In such seri-
ous cases as this the Municipal Court
should take no man for bondsmar
