SULLIVAN OUT
AFTER BRYAN

Chicago, Aug. 16.-Democrat ma.
tional committeeman, Roger C. Sui
liyan, gave out yesterday a statement
which he prepared to be mailed
broadcast throughout Illinois in reply
to w. J. Bryan's demand that he re-
sign from the national committee and
his subsequent assertion that the op-
position to Sullivan was prompted
solely by the belief that Roger Sui
livan and John p Hopkins had de-
liberately robbed the democrats of
Illinois of their political right" Sui
livan in the rejoinder declines to con
cede to Bryan the right to question
his democracy or membership of the
national committed Sullivan says he
doubts if Bryan wrote the letters in
which the resignation is advised, and
says the demand made by Bryan will
create new factional strife in place
of the factionalism that has nearly
disappeared Actually" he declares,
this demand emanates from two men:
Willard Fillmore Dunlap and Owen
P. Thompson Of Jacksonville. BY the
misuse Of Bryan's name and popu-
larity they hope to stir M enough
discord at this period to cradle them
to pose again as leaders and as
Representatives of Bryan" Mr..
Sullivan concludes as follows:
ITO allege fraud against my right
to a seat in the national committee
is to indict the last national conven-
ton and its leaders for compounding
a felony Bryan cannot do this If he
expects to accept the presidential

Pay your fare or walk" is the al
tentative issued by the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad to all of
those who in past years have been
favored with free transportation. This
order is the result of the decision of
the Burlington officials to put into In
mediate practice the new rate bill.
which becomes effective August 2s.
And 1t Is issued with such show of
determination that none can fail to
see that the road means business, and
that in the future no free passes will
be issued except to those who under
the provisions OF the new law are en-
titled to them. In this respect the
Burlington is the first western road
to cut off all free and reduced rate
transportation. Whether the other
lines viii follow the lead or will wait
until January /. the date fixed by the
new law to terminate the issuing OF
free or reduced rate trans portation, is
a question. Most of them, however.

trouble over granting concessions t.
those who are determined worthy I'M

bore with them the knowledge of the

as march of pride
