at Lincoln, today issued the following
statement in reply:

plicit declarations. He charged tina
the Pennsylvania delegation was TAX

statement Is false. The state conven
tion voted down a resolution endors
ing his candidacy by substantial
majority and there Is no basis what
ever for Mr.. Bryan's assumption thai
the members of that convention die
not accurately represent the voters
who had elected them delegates. Mr.
Bryan personally forced the Issue be.
