BRYAN DELIVERS
STRONG STATEMENT
Government Should Follow
Divine Law and Give to
Man His Reward Accord
ing to His Merit-Derno-
cratic Administration Will
Aid in Rernedying Present
Economic Situation.

Fairview Farm, Lincoln, Neb., July
18-Declaring that society has not
given to the producer his equitable re-
ward. and that the administration OF
the government should be changed to
remedy this economic condition, Will
lam j. Bryan today from the lawn of
shis home delivered one of the most
important Utterances in the last sew
feral years.
The occasion was a visit of several
hundred teachers and students of the
Fremont (Nebraska) Normal school.
Bryan began by explaining that he
had not been officially notified of his
nomination, and 1t was not proper
for him to enter into any extended
discussion until the announcement
was officially made.
But, he said, he could not with
stand the temptation to say word,
when confronted by the students. He
said if they would examine the plat
form adopted at Denver, they would
find it closes with an appeal to those
who desire to see this government a
government of the people
ITO my mind this is the ideal to-
ward which the government should
strive.
There is a divine law of rewards
proportion as that person by energy,
and industry, and intelligence, con
tributes to the world.
Il take 1t that that is the divine law
of rewards and the government should
as nearly as possible, follow that law.
The Demoeratie< party is not ex-
,pecting to bring the millennium through
"a Democratic administration, he con-
itinued. we do not expect our nation
TO be free from fault when it is en-
etrusted in the hands of those who call
themselves Democrats. But it is the
purpose of those who are Democrats
TO secure a better adjustment of re-
wards of service, and they believe this
;can be done by restoring the govern
,ment to its ancient doctrines"
Bryan returned to the Denver plat
form with the question as TO why the
ELECTION of senators by the people is
desired, which he explained in the
Following language:
In order that the senate my be the
servant of the people. in order that
ats representatives may speak for the
people. and reflect the sentiment of
the people"
