Defeat the Democrats

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN. Neb.. July
s0.-William ]. Bryan to-day issues a
statement regarding the platform Of
the Independence party, in which he
declared that the voter Of that party
cannot possibly accomplish anything
but the defeat Of the very reforms in
which he is interested. The statement
Is an intimation that the Hearst party
is aimed solely to injure the Demo-
cratic national ticket and to aid the
Republicans. The statement says re-
garding the Independence platform;
1T contains a number of planks
which are identical with or substan-
TALLY similar to the planks of the
Democratic platform. For instance, 1t
demands the election of senators by
the direct vote of the people, as the
Democratic platform does. It's tariff
plank is quite Ike our tariff plank; its
plank on the trusts, while opposing
private monopoly, is not so specific as
ours; its railroad plank does not differ
much from ours. Its plank on Asiatic
immigration is quite similar and Its
labor plank, like ours, declares for trial
by jury, and in regard to the exemp-
ton of labor organizations from the
operations of the antitrust laws.
Like our platform. it condemns the
extravaganza of the Republican party
and demands greater economy. 1t does
not advocate, however, the establish
ment of a department Of labor. with a
secretary in the cabinet. it does not
oppose imperialism, which has been
used to justify the increase in our
standing army, and its plank on pub
licity of campaign contributions is not
nearly so strong as ours.
"The question that must confront
the members of the Independence
party is this: "Will it assist in tho
defeat OF the Democratic party, which
stands so much for what it favors.
merely because it cannot get all il
would like.
Either the Democratic or the Re-
publican party will win, and the voter,
who, preferring the Democratic plat
form to the Republican platform joins
with the Independence party, merely
assists the Republican party and thus
defeats several Of the reforms in which
he is interested.
