BRYAN IS IN HOT WATER
ONE SENTENCE IN HIS NORFOLK
SPEECH CAUSES TROUBLE.
NOW HE DENIES HE SAID IT
His Declaration That Judge Parker is
Too Much Like Roosevelt Has
Caused a Rough House in the New
York Headquarters-Bryan Backs.

One sentence in Bryan's Norfolk
and may have a deal to do with the
history of the democratic party. Find.
ing himself in hot water Mr.. Bryan
has denied that he ever said it,
"On a number of questions, Mr.. Par
ker is too much like Roosevelt to suit
us" That is the sentence which has
stirred up the trouble. All persons
who heard that speech, remember dis
tinctly the words of Mr Bryan. When
he said 1t there was a gasp for a min
ute and then a laundering applause.
They were cheering him for standing
by his former declarations against Par
ker.
The speech was reported to the
world through the Associated Press.
New York papers next morning used
it on the front page under big head
lines. Chairman Taggart and others
at the democratic headquarters shook
their heads. I'VE trust he may have
been misquoted," they said. Others
spoke out. "If that's the way he feels
he's no man to send to Indiana" they
argued. One prominent democrat said
there's no excuse for such remark"
Mr.. Bryan was criticised severely
for that remark And he figured that
| the easiest way out of it would be to
deny it. The News received a letter
yesterday stating Mr.. Bryan's denial.
Having made a denial to the Associat-
ed Press, that organization has asked
of its Norfolk correspondent, Did you
hear the remark?"
And he did hear It, to be sure, just
as did everybody else in the audience.

met Frank by appointment, and the
two called upon John Mason at his
office. Albert was greeted cordially,
and after an exchange of common
places soon found himself being inter-
rogated by a series of questions per-
tainfng to his home and college life,
his knowledge of law and how he liked
his present employer. They were for
