ROOSEVELT IS
BLAMELESS
SAYS HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN
Wall Street Gamblers Directly
Responsible for Furry

William J. Bryan received an
enthusiastic welcome, when he
addressed the members of the
lafayette, Indiana, Jackson club.
alocal democratic organization, on
Nov. IS, at their banquet, where
100 plates were provided for.
Mr.. Bryan said that after serving
in two campaigns, he did not feel
like volunteering again, although
he would accept the presidential
nomination in 1908 if drafted. -
He was glad that the unprecedented
discovery Of gold, had taken the
money question out of politics.
But I want you to know said
the speaker that Our argumets on
the money question advanced in
1896 have been indicated, not by
the republican party, but because
God Almighty took pity on the
poor people of the world and
opened up vast storehouses of
gold."
Mr.. Bryan denounced tariff re-
vision as proposed by the republi
cans and accused the republican
party Of bad faith i'll promising
revision. The delay of a single
year, means much to the people Of
this country and they are being
detrauded out of hundreds of mill
ions Of dollars in the meantime.
The people are ready to let the
democrats reform the tariff as
serted Mr., Bryan.
The speaker declared that Presi-
dent Roosevelt should not be held
responsible for the present financial
sulngency. Mr.. Bryan put the
blame on the Wall street gam
blers."

WATTERSON
ON BRYAN
SORRY he IS A CANDIDATE
thinks Third Term Slogan Will
Defeat President Roosevelt.

BOONE, Iowa, Nov. 15.-Henry
Watterson, when asked today by
the Associated Press for his opinion
on William J Bryan tentative &C
ceptance of the democratic presi-
dental nomination, said he had
labored with Mr.. Bryan to decline
the nomination. Colonel Waiter
son realized that Bryan had it in
his power to demand the leadership
of the democratic party in 1908 or
defeat any other candidate by
knitting him as he did Parker
Bryan acceptance was no more
than he expected, however greatly
he regretted the action, because he
thought Bryan could no longer
create enthusiasm as he had done
before.
Asked as to the assertion often
made that the next president
would be Roosevelt or Bryan, Col
onel Watterson said that the nomi
nation of Roosevelt was all the
Bryan supporters wanted, because
they could then go to the people
on the third term slogan. Bryan
could carry New England is such
a campaign he thought. Roose-
Welt would Mexicanize this govern
nlent, holding himself as greater
than Washington. AS for himself,
much as he disliked to do so, he
would vote for Bryan against
Roosevelt in such a dilemma. He
believed, however. that Roosevelt
would decline another nomination
as he had nothing to gain and the
republican party had many men OF
presidential caliber. He mention
ed especially Taft, Hughes and
Crane of Massachusetts. He said
the latter would make a strong
man on the argument that New
England had not had a president
for long time.
