LINCOLN, Neb,, July 1S.-ln
statement which he gave out last
night William J. Bryan says:
81 shall vote for Parker and Davis
Tor the following reasons:
"First-Because the Democratic
ticket stands for opposition to imper-
ialism. On this question the conven-
lion was unanimous and emphatic and
have no doubt that the candidate
will carry out the platform.
"Second-Mr. Roosevelt is injecting
the race issue into American politics
The election of the Democratic ticket
will put a quietus upon this attempt
and permit the race question to work
itself out without the bitterness which
the conduct Of Mr.. Roosevelt has en-.
gendered.
"Thrd-Mr. Roosevelt stands for a
spirit Of war. The Democratic ticket
stands for peace, for reason and for
arbitration, rather than for force, con.
quest and buster
"Fourth-The Democratic platform
declares in favor Of the reduction of
the standing army, and there is reason
TO believe that Democratic success on
this subject would bring some advapt.

the ticket on false grounds A Dem

"On the money question Mr.. Par.

side of the fnanciers as is Mr.. Roose
welt. Nothing good can be expected
from him on the money question
Again, we need not expect Judge Par
ker to pursue different course on the
question of the trusts, unless in his
letter of acceptance he commits him
self to attempt antitrust legislation
The labor plank as prepared by Judge
Parker's friends, was straddling
meaningless plank, On the tariff some
little progress may be hoped for.
This is the situation: Judge Par
ker stands for enough things that are
GOOD to justify me in giving him m!
