Mr.. Bryan and my opposition to Fed

and have been since the Madison Square
speech, and my telegram to the Rich

They were also uttered in Mr.. Bryan's
presence in jackson.
"As the Governor says in his last
interview that Mr.. Bryan would not
stand upon Democratic platform pro-
mulgated by a convention which, OF
whose committee on resolutions had,
voted down the proposition of Federal
ownership of railroads, / do not think
the unkindest enemy of Mr.. Bryan in
all the world could have said of him a
more unjust thing. I do not believe
that Mr.. Bryan is setting himself up
as the master, instead of the servant, OF
the Democracy. At Memphis, New Or
leans and Jackson he said that he was
merely expressing his own opinion; that
he did not make Democratic platforms,
and that upon that question as upon
others, the delegates to a national con-
vention would speak.
'sNow, the question for Mississippians
and for Governor Vardaman is per-
sonal one. Which side of it will he
speak on? Whom does he propose to
