The most interesting, piece OF news
to emanate from FairYiew today was
"a formal statement by illiam Jen-
nings Bryan in which he discussed
the platform Of the independence
party adopted at the convention. at
Chicago, which adjourned yesterday,
and pointed out that 1t contained
number Of planks identical with or
substantially similar to the planks
OF the democratic platform. He de-
clared that the voters, preferring the
democratic platform to the republi-
can platform and yet who joins with
the Independence party, merely as
Esists the republican party and thus
defeats the reforms in which he Is
interested.
Mr.. Bryan argues that the ques-
tion is not whether one can get all
the reform he wants, but how he
can get the most reform, 2 and he
asserts that the democratic party of-.
fers the best opportunity to secure
that which Is obtainable at this time.
