William Jennings Bryan
Asked TO Withdraw
By New Hampshire Democrat
Who Is Really Saucy


Concord, ~ H., April 5.-Feeling that
William Jennings Bryan has but little
chance Of gaining favorable support in
New England, William A. J. Giles, an
attorney of this city, has addressed
an oren letter TO the Nebraskan ask
ing him to 1vithdraS from - =
Dental race for the good of tn 'ry.
In his letter Mr.. Giles says in part:
'You know hoW hard and loyalty l
have worked forF you, but now l de-
spair of getting even one avowed del
egate for you in New Hampshire. and
the whole New England outlook is
not cheerful. The auspices of your sup
port seem to have signally changed
without gaining strength.
you will recall how unfortunate
your ticket has proved here. yet at the
last state election We succeeded in
Wipirg out $4,000 Republican majority,
and IN throwing the choice of a COVER
no. into the Legislature. We can sure
ly win here next time, if given the op-
portunity. That is. if you are willing to
sacrifice yourself to the extent OF with
drawing Us q candidate.
"Simil3r conditions are evident in
otlief states. and feel that should you
realizt the true situation as many good
Democrats find it throughout the
county. you would cheerfully efface
yourself for the general good.
"Hut you should sec it it that no
Democrat is nominated in your stead
for tire Presidency whom you cannot
or will not support with earnestness.
.! am begging you to look the pres
cnt caticnal crisis fairly and squarely
in the face ard deal with it yourself
as becomes your honesty and magma
nirity.
Mark my prediction-you will have
rcscned the country. elected a Demo-
crat President. and have profoundly
suhSfrved the party and the people,
winning for yourself a renown far
brighter than Il temporary sojourn in
the White House could possibly be-
&to" "a on" already 50 iliustrious."
