Says He Will Support Parker
and Davis.
Tells Why, and Draws . Contrast
Hot Shot for the Gold
Bugs.
TELLS OF HIS FUTURE PLANS

Lincoln. Neb., July 13.-W. ].
Bryan yesterday gave out this state
ment:
~ shall vote for Parker and Davis,
the nominees of the Democratic Ma.
tionAl Convention, and shall do 80 for
the following reasons, he says.
Mr.. Bryan then gives the reasons"
rs the difference OF the Republican
and Democratic platforms, being
mainly contrast OF what he con-
ceives to be the attitude Of the Re-
publican party and that of the Demo
cratic party.
He concludes:
after having stated that I shall
support the ticket, and after having
given my reasons for so doing, think
1t Que to the Democrats Of the nation
to say that while the fight on economic
questions is postponed, it is not absn-
doned. As soon as the election 10
over l shall, with the help Of those
who believe as | do, undertake TO or
ganize for the campaign Of 1908, the
object being TO marshal the friends Of
popular government within the DEM
ocrstic party TO the support Of a rsdi-
cal and progressive policy TO make the
Democratic party an efficient means
in the hands of the people for secur-
ing relief from the plutocrstic ele-
ment that controls the Republican
party, and for the time being is in
control Of the Democratic party. This
plan Of organization Will be elaborat-
ed soon.
Judge Parker stands for enough
things that are good to justify me in
giving him my vote, but as | have
tried to point out for several months
the triumph Of the Wall Street ele-
ment of the party denies TO the con-
trary any hope of relief on economic
questions. have nothing to take
back; have nothing to Withdraw if
the things that have said against the
methods pursued to advance his can
didacy. 1t was a plain and deliberate
attempt to deceive the party. The
New York platform was vague and
meaningless, and purposely so, be-
cause the advocates of Judge Parker
were trying 20 secure votes from
among the people who would have
opposed his views had they known
them.
"If he had sent to the Albany con-
vention the telegram that he sent to
the st. Louis convention he would
have had very few instructed dele
gates from the south and no possible
chance for the nomination.
But he and his managers adriot-
ly and purposely concealed his posi-
tion until the delegates hsd been
corraled ana the nomination as
sured. Then his friends attempt
ed to secure q gold plank, which was
overwhelmingly defeated in the COM
mittee. After the party had rejoiced
over the harmony secured by the
omission of the question, and after be
had secured the nomination, he in.
jected his views upon the subject at
a time when he could not be taken
from the ticket without great de-
morslization. The nomination was
secured, heretofore, by crooked and
indefeusible methods. But the DEM
oorat who loves his country has to
make his decisions upon conditions as
he finds them, not upon conditions
as he would like to have them"

When You Feel Young Again

My advice to every man. woman
and child Is to take peep In at the
Star theater and see the Incidents
of your early life reproduced In the
performance OF The Punkin Hus-
ker." The dedication of the new
barn, the old fashioned dances, the
attempts at the new, the old kissing
games, the sports OF Hallowe 'en. are
things we have all experienced and
for which We would give much to ex-
perience again, would Father Time
close his eyes and let US wander back
to our chilhood days.
Go and see 1t, friends: the dramatic
action OF the play is good. but these
other scenes are the ones ] want you
10 witness; see them by all means;
YOU will feel better afterwards. -
