BRYAN DECLINES TO TAKE IT
OFF FOR mr.. LADD.
SPECIAL Dispatch TO The Star.

SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, November 13.-William Jen-
nings Bryan has declined to smoke the
pipe of peace proffered by members of the
SullivaE-E Hopkins wing of the state de-
nocracy. Bryans intention to exclude, if
possible, from the democratic nationa!
convention all men known to have cor
porarion connections was the provocation
which drew from the democrats of Illi-
nois the rebuest that the Nebraskan lay
aside his "halo" long enough to permit
the election of a democratic President.
The text of the letter which Charles
X. Ladd Of kewanee sent to Mr. Bryan
asking that the halo" be taken off until
it would not Interfere with the chances
of democratic success became available
today. In it Mr.. Ladd recalls to Mr.
Bryan that during their last talk the
warning notice had been served on Nj.
Ladd that he could not go TO the national
convention as a delegate because he was
attorney for several corporations
This policy. it is asserted, means simply
that the democrats will continue to fight
each other while the republicans walk
way with another presidential success at
the time when the Sullivan-Hopkins demo-
to the election of democrat.
Thieves in Paradise.
Mr.. Ladd asks Mr. Bryan to loosen UP
his ideas, to become more loyal and to
permit the gold democrats to return to
the fold.
The Savior of mankind promised the
thieves that they would be with him in
Paradise" says Mr.. Ladd in his letter,
"and we have no conclusive evidence
that they ever supported democratic
candidate. The gold democrats agree
with us in everything but the money
question. That question is not now I'M
1ninent. Then why not let them return,
even if they do own stock in corpora
ton. Association with them will not hurt
US any more than going TO heaven with
thieves hurt the reputation of Christ"
Mr. Bryan has indicated that his emo
tionS have not been touched by the ap-
peal of Mr. Laid. He meets a number
of Chicago democrats in Chicago, De-
cenber Is. but Mr.. Sullivan and MI. Hop
kins will not be among them, according
20 present plans.
