NOTHING TO TAKE BACK
How Will Bryan Explain His Hostility
to Parker?

How Will Bryan Explain His Hostility
to Parker?
William Jennings Bryan has BEEN
officially engaged by the Democratic
national committee to make speeches
in New York, Indiana and other
places. The former candidate for the
presidency has something of a reputa-
ton as an agile political contortionist,
but he will have the time of his life
explaining his record during the pres
ent campaign. Mr.. Bryan has been
on good many sides of good MANY
different questions, and yet he lives to
tell the tale. But just how he proposes
to advocate the election of Parker is
mystery.
Bryan was opposed to Parker before
the convention met at st. Louis. He
was opposed to Parker every day dur
ing the sessions of that inharmonious
gathering. When Parker sent his tele-
gram supplemeEting the Democratic
platform Mr. Bryan rose from bed of
sickness to denounce the nominee as
traitor and a dictator, and his dra-
matte appearance on that Saturday
night was one of the most extra
ordinary episodes of an extraordinary
convention. Bryan dashed Parker and
he dared the convention to send tele-
gram to the nominee demanding his
honest opinion on other welI-known
Democratic principles
Later on Mr., Bryan, in his paper
The CommOner, while the events in
the convention We're fresh before him.

the broadcast spirit of brotherhood in
our common humanity, or has held a
more resolute attitude of protest
against every wrong that outra ged the
civilization Of the world, at home OF
abroad.
1t has behaved toward all nations,
strong or weak, with courtesy, dignity
and justice; and is now on excellent
terms with all.
Our foreign policy has been not only
highly advantageous to the United
States, but hardly less advantageous to
the world as whole. Peace and
good will have followed in its foot
steps.
Within the limits defined by the
national constitution the national ad-
mintstration as sought to secure to
each man the full enjoyment of his
right to live his life and dispose of his
property and his labor as he deems
BEST SO long as he wrongs no one
else.
1t Is but ten years since the first
attempt was made, by means of lower
ing the tariff, to prevent some people
from prospecting too much. The at
tempt was entirely successful
To uproot and destroy the protective
system would be to insure the prostra-
fion of business, the closing of factor
les, the impoyerishment of the farmer,
the ruin of the capitalist and the
starvation of the wage-worker.
During the last FIVE years more has
been done for the material and moral
well-being of the Filipinos than ever
before since the island first came with
In the ken of civilized man.
We did not take the Philippines at
will, and we cannot put them aside at
will.
We have striven both for civil right
eousness and for national greatness:
and we have faith to believe that our
hands will be upheld by all who feel
love Of country and trust in the I'D
lifting of mankind.
We hold ever before us as the all
important end Of policy and admins
ration the reign Of peace at home and
throughout the world; of peace which
comes along by doing justice.
The constitution must be observed
positively as well as negatively.

the convention and that his nomtna-
ton had been secured by improper
means. 1t was then that the former
candidate for the presidency put him
self on record by saying in The Com
moner Of July IS, less than a week
after the nomination: Il have moth
ing to take back"
It seems a curious thing to find
man who has nothing to take back"
appearing on the stump favoring the
election Of Alton Il. Parker for the
presidency. If Mr.. Bryan has moth
ing to take back" he should in COM
mon honesty when he appears ON the
stump in Indiana, and elsewhere, re-
peat to his audiences exactly what
he said in The Commoner Of July 10,
which was printed exactly one week
after the Democratic convention was
called to order and only four days
after Judge Parker was nominated for
the presidency and had sent has tele-
gram repudiating the Democratic plat
form.
In this issue Of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan said:
1T was a plain and deliberate at
tempt to deceive the party. The New
York platform was vague and purpose
~ 80; because the advocates of Judge
Parker were trying to secure votes
from among the people who would
have opposed his views had they
known them. The nomination was
secured, therefore, by crooked and in
defensible methods"

tics Bryan's campaign speech for Par

to take back" how will be explain
matters to the people? What did he
mean when he said in The Commoner:
THE nomination of Judge Parker
virtually utilities the antitrust
plank?" Was it true on July I3 that
ParSer's nomination had been secured
by crooked means?" If it was A.ue
then is it not true now?
Mr.. Bryan in The Commonor said.
Il shall not appeal for votes for the
ticket on false grounds" How can be

seriously ask the Workingmen Of the
country to vote for the Democratic
nominee after The Commoner had de-
clared' that THE labor plank as pre-
pared by Judge Parkers friends on
the subcommittee was a straddlino
meaningless plank?"
Was Mr.. Bryan lying when he said
In his paper, "a Democratic victory
will mean very little, if any, progress
so long as the party is under control
OF the Wall street element?"
If the party was under the control
Of the Wall street element when Mr.
Bryan wrote that editorial, is it not
Just as much under the same control

Perhaps Mr.. Bryan can exnlatn

PULTTZER'S MISTAKE
He Does Not Understand the Attitude Of
Parker.

Parker.
Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presi-
dency, but he wrote letter, of which
this was the concluding paragraph:
1T is because l so strongly desire
Judge Parker's election that | speak so
plainly on this subject. l earnestly
beg Of you when you see him tomor-
row at Esopus, to urge that he accept
also the full responsibility of his posi-
ton; that he will not permit the cam
paign in New York-the pivotal state
to be mismanaged by the small poll
GcianS who beset him."
"Beset" "Beset," indeed! Little
Is Alton B. Parker "beset" by the
small politicians to whom Pulitzer al
ludes, those who have, for years, been
the vassals of David r. Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton B.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill, who
repaid him by an appointment, and
who, in the present year. has repaid
him further, he is not likely to be DE
set" by his own associates. Mr.. Pulitz-
er must be wandering in his mind. It
is upon those from whom he wishes
Mr.. Parker to associate himself that
Mr.. Pulitzer depends for whatever
vote he may get in New York-Tam-
manyites and the Hill henchmen.

The annual report on the coal in
dustry of Illinois, furnished by the
state bureau of statistics, shows that
miners were never so prosperous as
under the Mckinley and Roosevelt ad-
ministrations. The coal output of the
state now is nearly twice what it was
under Cleveland; $4,000 more men are
employed than six years ago, and
wages are fully so per cent. higher
than in 1897.
