BRYAN DECLARES
TAFT IS DODGING
Nebraskan Issues Another Chal-
Ienge to Republican Noni-
nee for President
CommOner Asks for Interpreta-
tion of Chicago Platform
and Defends Himself

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. rs. ''Nr.
Taft is dodking. He cannot escape from
the issues. He Will not be permitted
to run away from them. He has ae-
cepted the nomination of his party.
Now let him take the people into his
conhdenee and interpret his PLATFORM
so that the public will know where he
stands and what he intends to do
In these words William j. Bryan. in
an interview today on the way from
Baltimore to this city, issued another
challenge to Judge Taft. his republican
opponent. He read Taft's utterances
printed this morning. and dictated a
retort which is in part as follows:
Mr.. Taft is lodging. Instead of de-
fining his position on public questions,
he is inquiring about my record, and In
his inquiry he shows that he knows as
little about my record as he does about
the public questions which he has at
tempted to discuss. He accuses me OF
being changeable and of abandoning
issues"
