Bryan Talks OF Platform.
William J. Bryan is putting in good time
during his vacation days spent at Fairview.
Yesterday he took the Commoner force to
Crete for an outing, last night he spoke
10 the Travelling Mems Bryan club and to-
night he spoke at the Lutheran church at
Sixth and D streets.
In his talk to the travelling men last night
Mr.. Bryan gave some Idea of what he
thought" would be in the democratic plat
form. which the travelling men interpret
to mean would be in the democratic plat
form.
Insofar as the antitrust plank is con-
csrned. Mr.. Bryan said the man who wrote
the strongest plank no doubt would have
the honor Of writing that portion OF the
adopted platform. Imperialism. Mr.. Bryan
said, would still be an important plank
and very probably the plank Of the last
convention would be repeated in the Denver
platform. The election Of United States
senator's by direct vote OF the people would
be another plank, "he thought" while a
vigorous stand would be taken for tariff
revision. and also for the guarantee o.
bank deposits.
In support of his argument for a guaran-
teed bank deposit Mr.. Bryan called stten-
tion TO the recent enactment Of such a law
in Oklahoma, where one bank failure has
occurred since the law became effective.
WAL 80. 49, .N-.,NA aFtlR fhn Az
aminer took possession of the bank, he
said, the authorities wired to pay every
deposition in full. When the law went into
effect banks which took advantage of the
law at once increased their deposits 81, iOO,-
OoO, while the banks whose deposits were
not guaranteed lost 10000 in deposits,
showing that fully $4,000 was brought
forth from hiding places.
Mr.. Bryan denounced the currency legis-
lation enacted By the last congress and
said It is the first step to asset currency
and that the emergency currency of the
present will become the permanent cur
rency Of the future.
State Candidates in Background.
These are hard tikes for state house can
didates. Everybody who comes to Lincoln
nowadays seems to be interested in national
politics and refuses to become interested in
the claims of the numerous deputies and
others for a place under the spotlight. Con-
/ seuuently during the last week or two all
the candidates have been going around with
gum shoes on trying to create just a little
impression that the personality of the men
on the state ticket might have some effect
on the number of votes cast next fall as
we'll as will the personality of the presi-
Dental candidate. The fact that the gov
ernor, the attorney general. the state treas
urer and the secretary Of state will have
no opposition leaves only the land commits
sioner, the state superintendent, the aud
itor and the railroad commissioner to fight
for places. For state superintendent there
are at least thirty-five applicants of more
or less prominence. while three OF four
want to be auditor and a candidate or two
Jumps up every once in a while through
the grapevine route for the place held by
Judge Williams and the place to be va
Gated by Land Commissioner Eaton. All
this. of course, is on the republican SIDE.
On the democratic side. George Washing
ton Berge is preparing to hire a hall and
tell what he thinks about all the repub-
lican officers, including Governor Sheldon,
and until he does that other democratic
candidates are expected to keep in the
background. "a .
New Book by judge bryant. s..
Judge Wilbur +. Bryant Of Cedar county
formerly reporter for the. supreme court
has written another book, entitled "Ths
Historical Man of Nazareth" The boob
deals with the life OF Christ from the
standpoint of q historian. and is dedicated
to the children of Judge Bryant, who sayi
in the epistle dedicatory: 1T may or may
not be what / would say could l speal
from the tomb. but it is written according
to my present light"
Chancellor Huntington said OF the book
The Historical Man Of Nazareth sup
ports the historc character of the gospe
narrative and answers various objections
not only with an ability which carries con,
viction. but with an acute logic which en-
tertains while it instructs.'
