BRYAN SAYS VAN ClEAVE
SHIFTED DISCUSSION

Failview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug. IL
When his attention today was called
to the statement of James w. Van
Cleave president of the Manufacturers
association, printed this morning, in
which Mr.. Van Cleave for the second
time within a month sets forth rea-
sons why the business men of the
country should not vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate, Mr.. Bryan would not
enter into any lengthy statement re-
garding the matter, but he charged
Mr. Van CleaYe with shifting the dis
cusson to other questions instead of
defending what he before said.
Mr.. Van CleaVe issued statement
appealing to business men to defeat
the Democratic ticket on account OF
the labor planks." said Mr. Bryan. II
replied TO his appeal, Instead of de-
Tending what he said before he now
attempts TO shift the discussion to
other questions. II will not be neces-
SaTy TO now answer what he says l
shall during the present month, dis
cuss the questions which he lays spe
cial emphasis upon--the tariff question
at Des Moines and the guaranty Of
bank deposits at Topeka
Mr.. Bryan's notice also was directed
to a telegram referring to Il sensations
al story printed in Pittsburg this morn
ing. to the effect that the followers OF
National Committeeman James Kerr
had promised the Democratic candidate
100000 as a campaign contribution for
his influence in ousting Col. James NJ
Guffy who for many years was the
Democratic national committeeman
from Pennsylvania but that Mr. Kerr
had not kept his part of the alleged
promise.
II never heard OF any such offer or
agreement" Mr.. Bryan declared. and
| don't believe there is any truth I'm
the report. But the proper persons to
consult would be the committee on
credentials and the delegates, as they
were the ones who decided the Penn
sylvania contest
In regard to the report that move
mont was on foot to organize Bryan
ana Kern clubs composed Of depostors
who had lost money in banks which had
failed, Mr.. Bryan said he had NOT
heard of any organized on that plan,
but that he would be pleased 10 have
