Wall STREET CONTROL.
BRYAN issue LETTERS
SETTING FORTH HIS VIEWS
SAYS HE WILL VOTE FOR PAR.
kER AND DAVIS BUT CLAIMS
PARKER is NOT SOUND
PRiNCiPLED.


Lincoln. Neb., July 12.-William j
Bryan today gave out the following
statement:
Il shall vote for Parker and Davis,
the nominees Of the Democratic Ma.
tional Convention, and shall do SO for
the following reasons;
F1rst-Because the Democratic
! ticket stands for opposition to impe.
rialisffi, while the Republican ticket
ct stands for TN imperlalistic policy
On this question, which was the para.
mount issue in 1900 and which must
remain an important issue 30 long as
an attempt is made to hold colonies
under the American fag-on this issue

believes in strenuousness and incul.
Gates love for warlke things. The
Democratic ticket stands for peace, for
reason and for arbitration rather than
for force. conquest and buster.

ment on this subject would bring some
advantage TO the people.
Wall Street In Control.
For these reasons feel justified in
supporting the ticket. A Democratic
victory will mean very little II any
progress on economic questions so
long as the party is under control OF
the Wall street element. On the mon.
