Lincoln, Neb-William Jennings
Bryan was formally notified of his
nomination by the Democratic party
for the presidency of the United
States. Henry d. Clayton of Alabama
was the spokesman of the notification
committee. Mr.. Bryan's speech of ac-
ceptance fellows:
Mr.. Clayton and Gentlemen OF the No
tification Committee: ! can not accept
the nomination which you officially ten
der, without first acknowledging my
deep indebtedness to the Democratic
party for the extraordinary honor which
it has conferred upon me. Having twice
before been a candidate for the presiden-
cy, in campaigns which ended in defeat,
a third nomination, the result of the free
and voluntary act of the voters of the
party, can only be explained by sub
stantial and undisputed growth in the
principles and policies for which I, with
4 multitude of others have contended.
As these principles and policies have
given me whatever political strength
possess, the action of the convention not
only renews my faith in them, but
strengthens my attachment to them.
A Platform Is Binding.
SHALL in the near future, prepare a
more formal reply to your notification.
and, in that letter of acceptance, will
deal with the platform in detail. 1t is
sufficient, at this time. to assure you that
I am in hearty accord with both the let
ter and the spirit of the platform. l in
lorSe ii in whole and in part, and SHALL
If elected, regard its declarations as bind
ing upon me- And. | may add, a plat
form is binding as TO what il omits as
veil as TO what il contains. According
. the Democratic idea. the people think
sor themselves and select officials TO car
" out their wishes. The voters are the
sovereigns: the officials are the servants,
employed for a fixed time and at a stated
salary to do what the sovereigns want
lone and to do il in the way the SOW
resigns want il done. Platforms are
entirely in harmony with this Democratic
idea. platform announces the party s
position on questions which are at issue
and an official is not at liberty 10 use the
authority vested in him to urge personal
views which have not been submitted to
the voters for their approval. If one is
nominated upon platform which is not
satisfactory to him. he must, if candid,
either decline the nomination, or. in ac-
cepting il, propose an amended platform
in lieu OF the one adopted by the con-
vention. No such situation, however,
confronts your candidate, for the plat
form upon which / was nominated rot
only contains nothing from which | dis
sent. but il specifically outlines oil the
remedial legislation which we can hope
TO secure during the next four years.

Why No Railroad Legislation?

For ten years the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been asking for ar en-
largement of its powers. that it might
prevent rebates and d'scrimina tons but
a Republican senate and Republican
house of representatives We're urmoved
by its entreaties. In 1900 the Republican
national convention was urged to indo"se
the demand for railway legislation. bit
It's platform was silent on the subject.
Even in 1904, the convention gave no
pledge to remedy these abuses. When
the president finally asked for legislation,
he drew his inspiration from three Demo-
cratic national platforms ard he received
more cordial support from the Democrats
than from the Republicans. The Republi-
cans in the senate deliberately defeated
several amendments offered by Senator
LaFollette and supported by the Demo-
crats-amendments embodying legislation
asked by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. One of these amendments au-
thoriZed the entertainment of the VAL
ne of railroads This amendment was not
only defeated by the senate, but it was
overwhelmingly rejected by the recent
Republican national convention and the
Republican candidate has sought to res
cue his party from the disastrous results
of this act by expressing himself, in
qualified way. in favor of ascertaining
the value of the railroads.
Over-lssue of Stocks and Bonds.
Mr.. Taft complains of the over-issue
OF stocks and bonds of railroads, for
the unlawful enriching of directors and
for the purpose of concentrating the
control of the railroads under one man.
agement," and the complaint is well
founded. But, with a president to point
out the evil and a Republican congress
to correct it, we find nothing done for
the protection of the public Why? My
honorable opponent has, by his confess
sion, relieved me of the necessity of fur
nishing proof; he admits the condition and
he can not avoid the logical conclusion
that must be drawn from the admission.
There il no doubt whatever that large
majority of the voters of the Republi-
can party recognize the deplorable stu
alton which Mr.. Taft describes; they rec
ognize that the masses have had but lit
tie influence upon legislation or upon
the administration of the government
and they are beginning to understand the
cause. For a generation, the Republi-
can party has drawn it's campaign funds
from the beneficiaries of special legisla-
ton. Privileges have been pledged and

Republican Challenge Accepted.

The distinguished statesman who re-
cFived the Republican nomination for
p~Asdeat said, in his notification speech:
THE strength of the Republican cause
in the campaign at hand. is the fact that
we represent the policies essential to the
reform of known abuses, to the contin-
uance Of liberty and true prosperity, and
that we are determined. as our plat
rorm unequivocally declares, to maintain
them and carry them on"
In the name of the Democratic party,
| accept the challenge, and charge that
the Republican party is responsible for
all the abuses which now exist in the
federal government, and that ii is impO-
tent TO accomplish the reforms which
are imperatively needed. Further, l can
not concur in the statement that the Re-
publican platform unequivocally declares
for the reforms that are necessary; on
the contrary, l affirm that it openly and
VIGOROUSLY disappoints the hopes and eX-
pectations of refOrmers, whether those
reformers be Republicans or Democrats
So far did the Republican convention
fall short of its duty that the Republi-
can candidate felt it necessary to add to
his platform in several important par
ticuars. thus rebuking the leaders of the
party upon whose cooperation he must
rely for the enactment of remedial legs-
lation.
AS shall, in separate speeches, discuss
the leading questions at issue, \ shall at
this time confine myself to the paramount
question, and to the far-reaching pur-
pose of our party, as that purpose is set
forth in the platform.
Shall the People Rule?
Our platform declares that the over
shadowing issue which manifests itself in
all the questions now under discussion,
is Shall the people ruler" No matter
which way we turn; matter to what
subject we address ourselves, the same
question confronts us: Shall the people
control their own government and use
that government for the protection of
their rights and for the promotion of
their welfare? or shall the representa-
tives of predatory wealth prey upon a
defenseless public, while the offenders
secure immunity from subservient Off
ciaIs whom they raise to power by un-
sc.upulous methods? This is the issue
raised by the known abuses to which
Mr.. Taft refers.
The Presidents Indictment Against
the Party.
In message sent to congress last jan
uary, President Roosevelt said: The at
tacks by these great corporations on the
administration actions have been given
a wide circulation throughout the coun-
try, in the newspapers and otherwise by
sciously or .unconsciously, act as the rep
resentatives of predatory wealth-of the
wealth accumulated on giant scale by

Why No Tariff Reform?

The presidents close friends have been
promising for several years that he would
attack the iniquities of the tariff. We
have had intimaton. that Mr.. Taft was
FESTIVE under the demands of the highly
protected industries. And yet the in1u-
ence of the manufacturers, who have for
% years contributed to the Republican
campaign fund, and who in return have
framed the tariff schedules, has been
sufficient to prevent tariff reform. AS the
present campaign approached. both the
president and Mr.. Taft declared in favor
of tariff revision, but set the date of
revision after the election. But the pres
sure brought to bear by the protected
interests has been great enough TO pre-
vent any attempt at tariff reform before
the election; and the reduction prom
iSed after the election is 50 hedged about
with qualifying phrases. that no C1e can
estimate with accuracy the sum total OF
tariff reform to be expected in case of
Republican success. If the past can be
taken a guide. the Republ can party
will be so obligated by campo gn con-
tributionS from the beneficiar:es of pro-
lection, as 20 make that party pOwer!csS
to bring to the country any material re-
lief from the present tariff burdens.

Why No Antitrust Legislation?

 Capt. Jack Crawford, the poet-scout of the flowing locks and buckskin, is one of the unique characters of the lecture platform. Capt. Jacks education was gained in the hard school of experience. He was twice wounded in the civil war, and spent much time in the west fighting the Indians. Among his recommenda- tons he presents a letter full of praise from the late Gen. H. W. Lawton
 Many camp fire of the border has been enlivened Sy your inimtable powers of entertainment. with your own song and story" wrote General Lawton. and many of my brother officers, with my self, have felt the hardships of an h. dian campaign lessened by the enjoyment derived from that frisky tongue of yours when night had closed the weary march of day.
 Captain Jack appears before his audi ences in the costume of the plains-broad- brimmed hat, low-necked shirt, and buck skin. suit-and he has the faculty of holding the closest attention of all to whom he speaks. His poems are poems Of nature, full of good, hard sense, and they lose nothing in his manner of read ing them. He also has the faculty of interspersing his more seIdous recita- tions and thoughts with 6 good quality of wit and humor
 T never attended school but four days in my life," said Captain Jack recently to an audience, and got licked every day. concluded had better not go any longer, because if they licked me every day l thought they'd kill me in a year." Captain Jack was taught to read and write by a nurse while he lay wounded in a hospital.
 Several years ago I went east" said Captain Jack. in relating his experience with publishers. q was told over there that the people back west were hunger ing for my poetry. I hastened to supply them. After my book of poems had been published it seemed the people of the west had lost their appetite. But I'm not going to give away any of the copies of my book that is to come from tho press soon," added the poet-scout. Cap tain Jack has found a good market for his poems since the days of his first ex- perience in the publishing line.
 Sometimes when he wishes to show tho results of wholesome life, Captain Jack kicks for his audiences. He can kick higher than his head, and placing the palms of both hands on the floor while standing, and yet not bending his knees is no task for him. And he Is 61 years old at that. q am vigorous and retain my faculties,' says Captain Jack, be cause I never touched intoxicating liquor, never smoked cigarettes and never read cheap literature.

 only twelve years ago when a very
 large majority of American citizens full
 ly believed that to save the country
 from Bryan and Bryanism would be to
 save the country from terrible disas-
 ter. What was true then Is true today. MT. Bryan is right in saying that MT. Roosevelt and he are one in political policy; that he, not Taft, is the proper heir of the President; and MT. Roosevelt expresses that policy and be- trays it's appropriate temper, to the sor- row of all good men. People say that the extraordinary document was a cam paign manifesto for Taft, but it is to be hoped that MT. Taft does not agree with them. It is proclamation of the rage of the hosts of disorder.

Washinston's Surprising Ancestor.

Caroline Ticknor, in Harper's Weekly.
 Let no man fancy he knows sport" said the late Moncure D. conway "un- less he has family-treed an ancestor of George Washington" Yet, despite tn 6 many clever sch olars and antiquarians of America who have tried their hands at this sport it has remained for O Fellow of the Royal Historical Socie- ty of England, Rev. Frederick W. Ragg to convey to us the latest interesting revelation regarding the ancestry of our first president.
 Barring those that champion the truly democratic standpoint, less prevalent today than it was in 1920, which scorns to connect itself with old-world titles and abhors royalty, there remain many liberal souls among us who do not grudge to one who was acknowledged first in war and first in peace a share in the homage accorded the first fam fly of England.
 Edward I. was himself a mighty war rior, and first in many wars; his prow- ess was early exercised on the Turks $. during that last crusade ever embarked on by England's kings and when the throne became his own he successfully carried out his project of uniting Eng land. Scotland and Wales. He brought the famous Stone of Scone to Westmin- ster Abbey, and under him England became a mighty nation. He was a monarch wise and great, even though he had little leaning towards democrat 10 government and did not display spe- cial fondness for Magma Charta. Ed ward Longshanks was not an ancestor to be despised by his descendant George of l1ingly bearing and equally long legs.
 That this direct line of descent has not until now been established may seem a bit surprising in view of the ex : hausive search that has been devoted to the Washington ancestry. The req son is, however not difficult to under stand when one reflects that such re- search has been concerned exclusively with the male line, while this royal blood Is introduced into the family by Margaret Butler who married Laurence Washington in 15S8.

PEACE HOvERS

Sofia, Oct. 29-The Bulgarian gov
eminent yesterday informed the rep
resentatives of the powers here of
its acceptance of the principle of pay
ing compensation to Turkey, which
has been the burden of diplomatic
representations during the past fort
night on the part of all the great
powers. This decision was arrived at
by cabinet yesterday morning af-
ter a long debate, in which Emperor
Ferdinand used all his influence in
favor of peace with compensation
