PARKER SEVERELY
CENSURES BRYAN
Replies to Nebraskan's Recent Re.
marks Directed Against Him
Did Not Keep Promises.

Albany n. Y. Jan. 23.--Alton B.
Parker, Democratic candidate for
President in 1907, commented last
night on the speech of William Jen-
nings Bryan before the Democratic
members of the Kentucky legislature
Tuesday, in which Mr.. Bryan was
.uoted as saying that in 1904 he took
his medicine in Parker. Parker was
the man above all others did not
want"
What a pity" said Judge Parker
that Mr. Bryan failed to be as frank
in 1908. Had he done so, the situation
of the party would be vastly better
than it is. There were few delegates
then who thought it was wise to have
a third time candidate. But every man
Iof sense knew that unless a man could
be found who would receive Mr.. Bry.
ans support, his warm personal fol
lowing would seek revenge for the de-
feats of 1896 and 1900.
so statesmen, politicians and in
terested citizen sought diligently to
find some one that he would support
TO some, at least, he said he would
bolt eX-presidcnt Cleveland, Governor
Hin, Senator German and Judge Gray,
but that it would be hard to oppose
Parker, as Parker had supported him.
This attitude induced the impress
sion among many that my nomination
would be as acceptable to Mr. Bryan
as any except his own. That impress
ion led to pressure upon me from
many quarters to change my plans for
life, and it contributed in no small
measure to the movement which led
to the control of the convention
Subsequent events showed that
Mr.. Bryan had not been entirely open
with those who had consulted him.
For when. to his surprise, delegates
began to be elected favorable to my
nominaton-when indeed, the tide had
grown too strong to be breasted
he started out on his famous tour of
renunciation. The dragons teeth
which he then showed yielded an
abundant harvest-aye, all that he
could wish.
"But 1t would have been very much
better for the party had he said In
1903, before sentiment had crystal.

man above all others that | do not
