WILSUPPORTBRYAN
ANTT-SaaPEnHAErsr LEAGUE ISSUES
 A STATEMENT.
Calls on All .of it's Friends to Oppose Taft and so Take Active Part
 ln the Campaign.

Boston, July 1s.-The Executive Coms nittee- of the Anti-Imperialist League issued statement to-day recommend- ing that the friends of the League withhold their votes from Wm. H. Taft for President and support w. J. Bryan
 After a preamble the statement says:
 Because we thus believe, we rec commend our friends and fellow citi. gems to withhold their votes from Will Ham + Taft. who stands upon the Republican platform which denies inde- pendence to the Philippine Islands and looks to local nome rule as the only government to be attained.
 Though other ways Of opposing the attitude of Mir. Taft may be welcomed. it is obvious that direct support Of MT. Bryan Is an effective means of re- buIxing imperialism, because of his sin@ cerity and his earnest purpose to se> cure to the Filipinos their independ. ence and because he stands upon a platform which meet upon this vital issue our unqualified approval.
 we recommend to our members and to the members of allied leagues and to our friends generally that they. pre- serving the independence of the move ment. take the most active part in the pending political campaign and in narticuIar in their respective districts vote and work for the candidates for Congress who will oppose the policy of imperialism.
