Nebraskan Says He Will Vote
For Parker and Davis, But
Hates to Do 1t
ATTACKS THE PARTY PLATFORM
Declares Parker Was Nominated Thru
Dishonest and Tricky Methods and
Nothing in the Way of Economic
Progress Can Be Expected If the
Democrats Win in November.

Lincoln, Neb July 13.-W. ]. Bryan
has given out the following state
ment:
II shall vote for Parker and Davis,
the nominees of the democratic nation
al convention and shall do SO for the
following reasons:
.First-Because the democratic tick
ct stands for opposition to imperialism,
while the republican ticket stands for
an imperialistic policy. On this ques-
ton, which was the paramount issue in
1900, and which must remain an inipor-
tant issue so long as an attempt is
made to hold colonies under the Amer
lean flag-upon this issue the conven-
ton was unanimous, the platform en-
phatic and ! have no doubt that the
candidate will carry out the platform.
"Second---Mr. Roosevelt is injecting
the race issue into American politics.
and this issue. IL it becomes national.
will make it impossible to consider
economic questions that demand solu-
ton. The election of the democratic
ticket will put a ouietus upon this at
tempt and permit the race question to
work itself out without the bitterness
which Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct has en-
gendered.
"Third-Mr Roosevelt stands for the
spirit OF war. His friends present him
as man of blood and iron. He believes
in strenuousness and indicates love
for warlike things. The democratic
ticket stands for peace, for reason and
for arbitration rather than for force,
conquest and buster.
'Fourth--The democratic platform
declares in favor Of the reduction of the
standing army and as this plank was
unanimously adopted there is reason to
believe that democratic success on
this subject would bring advantage to
the people.
ION these four reasons / feel justi-
fled in supporting the ticket but shall
not misrepresent the situation or ap-
peal for votes for the ticket on false
grounds. A democratic victory will
mean very little, II any, progress on
economic questions as long as the par
ty is under the control of the Wall
street element. On the money ques-
ton Mr. Parker is as thoroughly COM
mitted to the side of the financiers as
Mr.. Roosevelt. IL he does not so as
far as the republicans would in retir-
Ing silver dollars, in establishing

port the ticket, and after having giver

port the ticket and after having given
my reasons for SO doing l think 1t due
to the democrats of the nation to say
that while the fight on economic ques-
tons is postponed, it is not abandoned,
AS soon as the election is over, i shall,
with the help of those who believe as
I do, undertake to organize for the
campaign of 1908. the object being to
marshal the friends of popular gov
eminent within the democratic party
to the support of radical and pro-
gressive policy to make the democratic
party an efficient means in the hands
Of the people for securing relief from
the plutocratic element that controls
the republican party and for the time
being Is In control of the democratic
party. This plan of organization will
be elabora ted soon"

George Buckley turned suddenly and
/ bent over his ledger and took up his
pen. but he did not dip it in the ink
stand. Hillyer could not see his face,
but he noted that the hand holding the
pen was quivering. Suddenly Buckley
laid the pen down. and Htllyer heard
something resembling q sob or gasp
escape him, then the young man stood
down on the floor and reached for his
coat and pulled 1t on He was deathly
pale. his eyes were flashing strangely.

old man caught his arm, but Buck

'All right, Marse Hillyer." and, leav-

at the side door of the building and
sped up the street. Hillyer went back
into the Office and sat down at his pri

to his crossed arms and it looked as
II he were praying. In few minutes
Jake returned, swinging his SLOUGH hat

"Well:" gasped Hillyer-"well?"
"He went fust to de postofilce, Marse

QUEER SITUATION ON BASES.

| Queer situations come to pass now
and then in baseball which puzzle play
ers, umpire and spectators alike for the
moment. and one of the queerest hap
pened in a game between Providence.
r. l., and Brockton. Mass.
Tommy Bannon, one Of those base
runners inclined to do the unexpected
on the bases, was at the bat for Brock
ton, and Patsy Flahsrty of the same
team was on second base. Bannon cut
loose with all his might at straight
ball, and the next instant the leather
was shrieking in line flight toward CEN
ter field. The center fielder was seen
to put up his hands for the ball. which
was going straight at him.
The sun was In the fielder's eyes, and
he misjudged the ball. which sailed
over his head. But as he had his hands
all set for the whizzing pellet some
thought he had caught 1t. Bannon saw
that the ball had not been caught and
tore around the bases, kicking up
clouds of dust. He was reposing on
third base by the time the ball was
flelded in.
The captain OF the Providence team
ran UP to Umpire Hunt, meantime get
ting the bali and tagging Bannon. and
made the claim that Bannon was out.

umpire. Damon touched all the bases

The Providence captain reiterated
his contention. and again Hunt declar-

But" protested the Providence man.
what is Flaherty doing on second
base?"
The umpire looked, and there was
F'laherty still on second base. and the
man who had darted after him base
ahead of him, an absurd situation. Fla
herty had thought the ball was caught
and had stuck to his base, and Damon.
without noticing him, In the excitement
had run past him. There was nothing
for the umpire to do but call Bannon
ont.
The next time Bannon came to bat
there was nobody on base, and
bleacherite sang out in ear splitting
tones the following timely advice:
Now, then, Tommy, soak 1t and run
as far as you like!"

corner of the room sat little Oracle in
