STRAUS GIVES REASONS
The New York Merchant and Phi.
lanthropist Declares Election of
Bryan Means Business
PrOsperity.


Nathan Straus, the great New York
merchant and philanthropist, in an
nouncing his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Bryan, said:
~ feel sure that he will be elected,
and say, as business man, one who
is as much Interested perhaps as any,
in the general prosperity of the coun-
try, as one who is bound to feel per-
sonally any lack of prosperity among
the masses, that believe his election
will be benefit to all the country,
and to all of the people. Those that
talk otherwise, those that predict panic
and disaster, as the result of the eIec.
tion OF an honest man, chosen by an
honest majority of the people, are mar.
row minded and short-sighted, or pre-.
tend to believe that which they know
Is not true, or they are seeking to OBJ
scure the real and vital issues of the
campaign. MIR. Bryan will make a
safe, reliable, conscientious president,
a president for all of the people, the
rich and the poor, the big man and
the little. He will represent the
American people, not any class, and
for that reason ! shall work for him
until election and vote for him on
election day."
