Lincoln. Neb., Oct, q Speaking To-
night before the German Bryan Club
: at Lincoln. Bryan answered the criti-
cisms which have been made Of him
by Governor Hughes and other Re-
!. publican leaders that his experience in
public life was not sufficient to quai-
ify him for the presidency
Eryan asked his audience why this
new born zeal for experience?" He
cited Lincoln. Grant, Blaine. Harrison
and Mckinley as having had no par.
ticuar public experience previous TO
their nominations, and as for Hughes
whom he said had laid special empha-
sis upon Taft's experience and quail
fications, he declared he had but two
years experience as governor of New
York "and yet he thought three
months ago that he was as well quail
fed for the presidency as Taft
The Democratic candidate maintain
ed chat he measured up to Hughes In
experience and public life, and theI
governor "ought not to urge my in
experience as an objection to me-"
Taking up the charge that he may
not make wise appointments If elect
ed to the presidency, Bryan insisted
that the argument should not be made

contention is that Democratic success
will restore prosperity How can they
threaten us with a panic, when the
panic came under the present presi-
dent and is still upon us? In SONS
respects. it is the most acute panic
we have ever had, and there was less
in natural conditions to justify it.
THAT this panic still continues can
be proven in many ways. First, by ,
the number CT men out Of employment +.
men anxious to work who are not
able to find work to do. An effort has
been made among those securing !
special privileges from the govern {
ment to answer this present argument
by starting up some of their mills,
but the people can hardly be foole;
by such transparent tricks.
