While Mr.. Bryan was in New York
the New York World sent a represen-
tatiVe to him to show him the World s
map Of Organism" whion is ARRANGED
for the purpose of making it appear
that what the World calls Bryan
ism has brought disaster to the dem
ocratfc party. AS a result of this In
terFiew with Mr.. Bryan the World
prints the following dialogue between
Mr., Bryan and the reporter:
Have GU seen the Worlds map of
Bryanism?'
Il have seen it" replied Mr. Bryan,
but have not had time to examine it.
The map, however, Is absolutely worth
less and gives conclusive proof of the
deliberate, Intentional and malicious
dishonesty of the man who prepared it
and the paper that published it. 1t be-
gins with 1892 and omits the congress
stonal election of 1894. In that cleo
ton of 1894, which was held while
MI. Cleveland was president and while
the World had some influence as an
adviser in the party, the republican
majority on the congressional candi-
dates was larger than 1T was in either
1896 or 1900, and the republican ma
1ordty in congress was larger az a re
suit Of that election than it was as a
result OF 1896 and 1900. Now an hon.
est man would not overlook that cleo
ton in preparing a map. The fact
that It is overlooked IS conclusive
proof that the map was prepared for
the purpose of de:eiving the readers
of the World. The World will not ac-
cuse me of being the leader of the
democratic party at that time and yet
the party suffered a more disastrous
defeat than It suffered in either of the
campaigns IN which was a candidate
Il noticed in this mornings World
that it accounts for defeat in 1904 by
saying: In 1904. with Judge Parker
as a candidate, but with you-mean-
ing Mr. Rryan-still actual leader of
the party every popuikst state, every
doubtful state, and several democrats,
states were carried by Mr.. Roosevelt
Nov, is it fair to charge up the
defeat of 1904 to my lead srship when
the party allowed the World to select
the cand date that year, and give him
its boisterous advice each day during
the campaign? And If was the leader
IN 1904, in spite Of the fact that the
World selected the candi date, how can
the World prevent my beng the leader
this year, even 1t is allowed TO sell
ect the candidate again? How can /
get out OF the responsibility Of leader
ship if could not eS ape after l was
Dolby rSpudtaD6Q, dCE(TQlaS 10 The
World, in 1904? IF the World wants
to be fair, why doesn't it publish a
map of the country showing the party
vote In 1894 and another map show
ing tins vote in 1904 and thus inform
the public that the party Jared better
in 1896 and In 1900 than in either the
congressional campaign before | ran
or the national campaign after / ran?
There Is an honest way of fight
ing political battles, but the World
prefers the dishonest way. II 1t wants
to ind a reason for the defeat Of
udge Parker, why doesn't II say that
the World contributed TO his deSeat
and received money from che rer1bli-
can campaign committee for doing so?
At least, I aI-urne that the SiVart s.
ing spa-e that the World sold TO the
committee the Sunday before
the elections was paid Tor and was
not grafnffousiy given by the World
to the republican party as the Worlds
contribution"
Don't you believe that MANY OF
your followers failed TO vote for Judge
Parker hecau use they understood You
were net enthusiastic for him?"
GA great many people failed to vote
fer judge Parker. and have not has
tire 10 consult all Of them personally
since election to see why; but ! did
what conld 70 secure votes Tor him,
