WHITE HOUSE
OPEN TO kern
Bryan Will Invite Vice Presi-
dent to Make Home in the
Executive Mansion.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 1.-THE State Jour-
nal tomorrow will print the following:
ANY man who is good enough to be
vice president is good enough to share the
White house with me-" said William 7.
Bryan. The statement was made in an
swer to question asked by one who had
heard that If Bryan and Kern are elected.
it is the purpose of Mr.. Bryan to offer the
use of the national mansion in part to the
vice president in order that the expense
of an extra establishment may not be
added to his outlay.
The question was brought out by an In
diana delegate here today. He said
Last winter when Mr.. BRYAN was
present at the installation of John W.
Kern as president of the Indiana club at
Indianapolis. temporary Chairman John
Hollett. in introducing Mr.. Kern to the
club referred to- him as the next vice
president. In his speech of acceptance of
the office MIR. Kern said that If the re-
port of the expenditures Of the vice pres
ident were true he would not last very
long in the office and that he could not
afford to take it. Mr.. Bryan in a later
speech said that IL he were elected pres
would be only too glad to share the pres
ident's mansion with Mr.. Kern SO as to
obviate any added expense
When Mr.. Bryan was asked about this
and il the offer still held good. he said
that the remark made at the time had no
special personal application, but 1t was
brought out by the speeches made then.
He said, however, that the fact that the
man who was good enough to be vice
president made him good enough to share
the White house.

Of France for an outlet on the Nile; the
