PAY GOLD OR SILVER7
QUESTION FOR BRYAN
(By Walter WeIlman.)

NEW YORK. Aug. 22.-Will Mr..
Bryan answer one plain and important
question? 1t is a question which
raises vital issue in this campaign
There are other issues of Importance
about which there may be honest diff
ferences of opinion and upon which
some good citizens may agree with
Taft and others with Bryan. But this
is an issue which goes to the very
heart of things. which may mean dis
aster to the country and to every
man and women in It, which may
mean such retrogression as the coun-
try could not recover from in a gem
Grafton. With such question as this
presented to him, hope and believe
Mr.. Bryan will give a plain, direct
answer as to what his attitude is,
without lodging or evasion. Upon his
answer much depends-so much that
silence will not serve. 1t is in no
spirit of antagonism to Mr.. Bryan to
bring this question to his attention;
that the only desire is to find out
where the candidate stands upon a
really vital issue, for the information
of the people. The question Is:
If elected president. will Mr.. Bryan,
in case of need, protect the gold re.
serve and maintain the gold standard?
So far as know this is a new ques-
ton in the campaign. 1t is proper
to explain why II is raised in these
dispatches. 1t is not l that raises It.
1t is not wall street" or any New
York financier or banker. 1t is raised
by an Ohio business man, q manufac-
turer, German-American, whose poll
tics l do not know. A week or two
ago, in one of these dispat tches, 1t was
pointed out that Mr.. Bryan was strong
er than ever before in the east, be-
cause few, If any, people now looked
upon him as menace to the country
In the way they did in his former cam
paigns for the presidency. Upon this
the manufacturer at St. Mary's, Ohio,
wrote me a letter, recognizing my
impartiality and fairness as an indie
pendent observer. but adding that
there is one question business men
want MIR. Bryan to answer before they
are willing to accept the statement
that he is no menace and that his elec.
tion could work no great harm to the
country
