AT ST LOUIS

'Mr Bryan and his associates Ia the
contest az 81. Louis, made the state
Iuent that some 500 delegates in the
Springfield convention had signed petit
tons or letters repudiating the action
OF that convention They never pre-
scented TO the committee on credentials
~ the national convention any such
number. They presented some. The
other side at the same time presented
kilograms and afldayits certifying that
nearly an Of the signatures presented
by MIR Bryan and his associates we're
fOrgeries.
THE discussion Of that Springfield
convention and its action from Mr..
Bryan's side is always coupled with
the lnnuendO that the elements Of the
party with which ! was connected had
perpetrated fraud by unseatng hun
dreds Of legally elected delegates, That
innuendo is false In spirit and false in
the suggestion II conveys"
