dorses the action OF the national con-
vention at Denver in secelting as the
standard bearers of the party in the
national campaign William ]. Bryan
of Nebraska and John w. Kern of In
diana We believe Bryan stands out
among all the public men of the coun-
try as the embodiment of honesty. in
tegrity. patriotism and other qualities
which go to make up an ideal Ameri-
can statesman. and that in Kern ne
has a worthy running mate and one
who sizes up well to the great office
of vice president.
1--WE strongly commend the platform
adopted at Denver and believe that il
stands for the principles Of progress
sive democracy.
In the face of the great extrava l.
gance of the present republican adm
inistration and of it's plain disregard
of the best interests of the people, we
see on every side evidences of demo-
ocratic harmony, and we call upon the
voters of the state of New York, re-
CARELESS of party. to rally to the sup
port of Bryan and Kern and take part
in carrying them to victory this fall

views on the political situation, anc
the invitation was quite generally ac-
certed. Connors, when asked apou'
the situation, said:
Bryan will carry New York state
by from $4,000 to 100000. Bryan is the
strongest democrat in New York today
He will carry Erie. Chenango. Niagara
and Is or Is other counties. Kings

other boroughs of Greater New 1orh
