BRYAN APPEALS TO
HEARST'S LEAGUERS
Nebraskan Declares Vote for In
dependence Party Candidates
Would Hurt Democrats
Commoner Argues That Denver
and Doodle Dee Platforms
Are Nearly Identical

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 30.-Although
the heat was most oppressive at Fair
view this morning, W. ]. Bryan was
early in his office and at work After
reading the platform adopted by the
independence party in Chicago he gave
out the following statement:
1t contains number of planks which
are Identical with or substantially
similar 10 the planks of the demo-
cratic platform. For instance, 1t faVors
the election of senators by direct vote,
as the democratic platform does; IT'S
tariff plank is quite like our tariff
plank; its plank on the trusts, while
opposing private monopoly, is not as
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, CON
tains q declaration in favor of trial by
jury and in regard to the exemption
of labor organizations from the opera
tiont OF the antitrust laws. Like our
platform, ii condemns the eXtravagance
OF the republican party and demands
greater economy. 1t does not advocate,
however, the establishment of de-
partment of labor with a secretary in
periaiism. which has been used TO
justify the increase in our standing
army, and its plank as to publicity OF
campaign contributions is not nearly
so strong as ours.
QUESTION OF DEFEAT
The question that must confront the
member of the independence party is
! that: viii he assist in the defeat of
the democratic party. which stands for
so much that he favors. merely be-
like? Either the democratic party or
the republican party will win, and the
voter who, preferring the democratic
platform 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.
Take, for instance the plank in favor
OF the election of senators by the peo-
pie; the democratic party has indorsed
that reform for three campaigns; the
republican convention defeated the
/. proposition by an overwhelming vote
If the democratic party succeeds, its
members are pledged to this reform.
me republican party is not pledged to
II, and the republican candidate has
gone no farther than to say that he
reform is necessary before any other
federal reform can be secured. Is not
the independent voter justified in help
ing the democratic party 10 secure this
reform?
HOW TO GET REFORMS
So in regard to the labor question.
The democratic party is in favor of
remedies demanded by wage earners,
and wage Garner who votes with the
independence party simply defeats the
the same argument might be made in
regard to those who favor tariff
reform. the determination of the
principle Of private monopoly and the
remedy of other evils which have
grown up under republican administra-
ton. The question Is not whether one
can get all the reforms that he wants.
but how can he get the most reforms
The democratic party offers him the
best opportunity TO secure that which
is obtainable at this time.

note reaches her.
The letter was written on the back
OF photograph of themselves, snapped
by photographer of The Call staff at
Greenbrae when the two were being
taken to San Quentin after the death
sentence had been passed. The letter
ran as follows:

Dabner. What you will suffer. will she. Pray
for US in this our hour of misfortune.

When the note was written the two
condemned men grasped each others
hands again in silence and turned abb
ruptly away-Siemsen to write more
letters and Dabner TO bury his boyish
face among pillows which brought no
rest. At midnight Dabner was in a
slight doze, but Siemsen wrote on, pill
ing sheet on sheet.
Siemsen devoted his last day to writ
ing the impressions of life's last mo-
ment. As he wrote he chuckled at
some whimsical thought. Toward
evening he threw aside his writing
materials. drew out pad and pencil
and, laughing and ehuckling, made a
humorous sketch of Guard Kelly as the
latter maintained the death watch
Dabner was calm, stoical and unemo-

MARKET SHOWS SPECULATORS
 L|QUIDATING
carnegle's Testimony Accepted As Showing That Tariff Re- vision Is likey To Be Wider In Scope Than Expected.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Today's stock market bore on the face of it evidence of important speculative liquidation. Conjecture was good deal divided as to the course of liquidation. The exact meaning of present liquidation is diff ficult to determine. It is attributed to recognition that advance prices were carried beyond the point warranted by the progress of recuperation of busi- ness. Even the most favorable aspect of this point has been dwelt upon with increasing urgency by the financial world.
 Rumors of the illness of E. H. Harri- man, although authoritatively denied, had some sinister effect in values. The nature of Andrew Carnegie's testii mony at the tariff hearing served to emphasize the feeling that the pro posed tariff revision is widening in scope and in expected effect. The ex- tensive short interest built up in the course of the days selling made the basis of partial recovery, which lessened extreme losses.
