A DENIAL FROM BRYAN.
Not Cent Does the Nebraskan Receive for
Speeches and He sometimes Pays
His Own Expenses

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 1S.-For the first
time w. j. Bryan enters a public dis
claimer to the repeated charges that
he exacts compensation for political
speeches. In the Forthcoming issue
of the Commoner he denies the state
ment of the Missouri State Republi-
can of ST. Louis that he received
$1,000 for his speeches in that state.
Mr.. Bryan calls the charge ''inex-
cusable mendacity," and says that not
only did he refuse pay, but he paid
his own expenses. He also says: ''Mr.
Bryan's income is derived from his
pen and he has time enough left to
devote nearly two months of this
year to campaS--p speeches and for
these speeches :: not only receives
no pay, but for { most part he pays
his own expenses and does not ride
on passes, either. He is interested
in what he advocates. During the
past six years he has given more
than SIS, 900 to various campaign COM
mittees, besides devoting a consider
able portion of each year to polit-
zeal speeches, delivered without COM
pensation in different parts of the
country"
