SEVEN GOOD REASONS.
A Partial List Of the Items Com
posing Logical Opposition to
BRYAN
(From the Omnhn Bee. !

ttrom the Omaha Bee.)
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner has boiled
down into nine paragraphs the reasons
why the Democratic candidate should
he preferred by the voters. Here are
seven paragraphs showing why each OF
Mr. Bryan's reasons are invalid:
First. Mg. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican party OF fail
Ing to provide for electing United
States Senators by popular vote. Ne
braska has provision for securing
from the people an expression of choice
on United States Senator, but when
Mr.. Bryan was candidate for Senator
in 1904 he refused to submit his candi-
dacy to popular vote.
Second. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress Of
failing to pass law for campaign pub
licity. Every Democratic member OF
the House voted against the publicity
law that was passed by Republicans
simply because it included a provision
for an inquiry into Democratic disfrap-
chisement of the negro In the South.
Third. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress for
falling to pass a postal savings bank
bill. He has professed to favor postal
savings banks for years. but now says
he will favor 1t only in case his guar
anty deposit scheme proves failure.
Fourth. Mr.. Bryan is estopped
from charging the Republican Congress
with passing a currency bill "encour-
aging speculative banking" when his
own deposit guaranty scheme would
throw the door wide open to wildcat
banking.
Fifth. Mr.. .Bryan's charge Of des-
potic rule by the Speaker of the House
OF Representatives Is best answered by
the unprecedented record of reform
legislation enacted during the Roosevelt
administration.
Sixth. Mr.. Bryan should be es-
topped talking about the cost of living
increasing faster than wages because
under the last Democratic admInistra-
tion the trouble was to get any wages
at all. incidentally the truth Of the
Bryan assertion may be challenged.
Seventh. Mr.. Bryan's reference to
the Republican position on the tariff is
pure buncombe. The Republicans favor
revision whenever changed conditions
require. while Mr.. Bryan wants to 60
through a continuous performance Of
piece-meal reduction that would para
lyxe all our industries.

In the ten years which has elapsed
since the enactment of the Dingley
Tariff. the conditions have SO changed
as to make number of the schedules
under that tariff too high and some too
low. This renders 1t necessary to re-
examine the schedules In order that the
tariff shall be placed on purely pro
tective basis. By that mean It should
properly protect. against foreign COM

The West Virginia Democrats have

amending the constitution as to pre-
serve the ballot and the electorate of
the State from the evils resulting from
comforting such power and privilege
upon negroes Mr.. Bryan has nothing
to say about that.
few misguided negro leaders over
the country have led Mr.. Bryan to be-
lieve that large number Of their race
will vote for him this time and on that
account he is dodging the discussion Of
the race question.
1t Is unfortunate for the negroes of
the country that Mr.. Bryan cannot dis
cuss the plans Of the West Virginia
Democrats in this campaign. He has
declared that he cannot discuss the ne
gro question, because 1t was not men-
toned in the Democratic platform.
That. Of course, will prevent him from
