VIEWS on THE ISSUES
Mr., Bryan saw a gathering OF newspaper men
and said.
Sometimes people put words into my mouth
that I do not. utter. Sometimes some OF the
newspapers make my utterances conform 70
newspaper having policy. but 7 do object 70 =
newspaper wilfully miscOnstruing my senti-
ments. Now. here IS what desire 20 say upon
the issues OF the campaign There are three IS
sues prominent in the campaign at this time
the money question. the trust question and i'm
perialism. Men may differ 70 their relative
Importance. but the position Of the Republicans
party any OF them Is SUFFICIENT 20 drive
out OF that party any man who believes thar
government should be administered on behalf OF
the majority OF the people and not IN the IN
htical speech without discussing the three Ques-
tiOns and I don't md any body who really be-
lieved in btmetaTism IN 1895 who does not BE-
lieve In II now
