Sixteen for Directors; One
To Policyholders, Says Bryan

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. CIV. J. Bry-
an, when Informed of the Mccall testi-
mony today. said regarding the New
York Life's contributions to defeat free
silver:
IF President Mccall had paid money
out OF his own pocket instead OF taking
it from widows and orphans. he might
have more reason to boast. II his judg-
ment on the silver question is no better
than his judgment on the use of trust
funds l would dispute his authority.
His opinion of free silver is probably
founded upon the opinion Of some finan-
cier. and not upon any actual knowledge
OF the subject. His understanding OF

get sixteen dollars TO one dollar given

He attacked Judge Parker. saying that
when the latter was chairman OF the
Democratic State committee Chat was
in 1850. before Mccall went to the
Equitable, he never rejected a dollar,
but took every one paid To him. lie
also challenged the 1908 Democratic cam

show the corporation contributions re

He defended his three contributions OF
$4,000 each to the Republican national
campaigns Of 1896. 1860. and 1904 on the
ground that he was working for the
success of the gold standard and not
for any political party.
