The consequence of this Is that Me.
BRYAN aud has friends have on q broad
grin and they think that the smlh,s
at Fairview are likely to spread to AL
democrats in the country.
The words complained VI in the Ne
editorial were these:

The Omaha World Herald saeWe
that the words complained of are not
part of any speech OF Mr. Bryan,
but a part If the tariG plank Of -
Republican platform.
Mr.. Bryan haA this 10 aay whea
the matter wac calbed u his atten-
ton:
Il am very 0uCA SURPRISED that Mr.
ROsewater should have attempted e
mixrepresent my pesitiOA- A god
many unfair things have been said by
MIR. ROsewater. Te accuse me Of
using the language of the Republican
platform In an outrage. He ought %
apologize for this injustice and ex-
plain to his readers that the language
which he criticises was taken from the
Republican platform and not from any
speech of mine.
This is a rich find. II shaws how
absurd the Republican platform looks
TO Republican when the Republican
has chance to look at IL in Il disin-
terested way. when Mr. Rosewater
thought that ttr language quoted was
taken from n speech of mine he could
zee how ridiculous the language was
hope that his opinion OF the language
will not change when he finds that he
was shooting at his own platform in
stead o at me.
Tie amusing hlunder of the Omaha
Bee suggests n new diversion for the
campaign. Let the Democrats accuse
me OF using various sections from the
Republican platform and from Mr..
Tafts speeches and see how the Re
publican editors will ridicule the Ian
guage."
