BRYAN INDoRsED.
We declare our unfaltering allegiance
and belief in the principles of the Demo-
cratic party as enunciated by our great
leaders from Jefferson to Bryan, and as
explicitly set forth in the platform adopt
sas City in 1900
while we believe now, as in the
past, that the United States should con-
f1nue to be an asylum of the oppressed
Oh all European nations, who come here
with the honest purpose of becoming
citizens, and to share in the bless ngs of
a government based on the consent of
the governed, yet we demand more
stringent immigration laws so devised
and executed as to exclude anarchists of
all countries from entering American ter
rltory, and we demand such legislation,
both state and national as will Suppress
anarchy in this country"

ing in condemnation of the parole from
the penitentiary of former State. Treas

ceoed, accepting Judge Hollenbeck as
