Bryan Smiles When He Learns of Taft
Using Photograph.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 5.-The use OF
the photograph by Candidate Taft as
a means for the dissemination of his
speeches, as reported in the dispatch
es from Hot Springs, Va, excited the
liveliest interest of William J. Bryan
so much so that he gave out the fol-
lowing statement in regard to it:
"The Republican papers have been
making fun of me for using the
photograph as means of reaching
the public, but since the Republican
candidate has followed the example I
presume that the criticism will cease
and that this will now be regarded as
a d1gn1fied method of discussing pub
lie questions. It looks as if the Dem
ocrats were going to have a hard time
this year protecting their patents from
infringement.
1.-THE Republicans seem bent on
initiating not only our platform but
our campaign methods. There is,
however, some advantage in the fact
that we are setting the pattern this
year."
