BRYAN IS SARCASTIC.
Says When Taft. Uses Photograph He
Is Stealing Democratic Cam
paign Methods

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., Aug.
4.-The use of the photograph by Candi-
date Taft as means for the dissemina-
ton of his speeches, as reported in the
dispatches from Hot Springs, Va, to-
day, excited the liveliest interest of Will
liam J. Bryan. so much SO that he gave
out the following statement in regard
to it:
'"The Republican papers have been
making fun of me for using the phone
graph as Il means of reaching the pub
lie. but since the Republican candidate
has followed the example | presume that
the criticism will cease and that this
will now be regarded as a dignitied
method of discussing public questions
1t looks as if the Democrats were going
to have hard time this year protecting
their patents from infringement.
THE Republicans seem bent on iml-
tating not only our platform but our
campaign methods. There is, however
some advantage in the fact that we are
setting the pattern this year."
