BRYAN SAYS TAFT
IS DISSATISFIED
DECLARES HE IS NOT PLEASED
WITH PARTY PLATFORM,
Democratic Nominee Will Further
Discuss Republican, Speech on
Other Occasions.

Fairvicw, Lincoln, Neb., July 29.-
Charging that William II. Taft els
not satisfied with the work of In,
Chicago convention, which nominated
INN as the Republican candidate for
the prcsidcncy,' and "that he is
deeply impressed with the work of
thc Democratic convention" Will
liam j. Bryan today issued state
ment in which he expresses tho opin-
ION that Mr.. Taft "fcars the upris-
ing which Republican abuses have
caused and yet hcSitatcs to adopt his
real ana substantial rcrorms.'
The statement was called forth hc-
cause OF the allegation made BY Taft
III ms speech Of acceptance at Gin
cmna'l yesterday that Mr.. Bryan was
destroyer Of business. I'm regard
to the speech Mr.. Bryan said:
81 read and shall discuss il as I
dcal with the various subjects upon
winch 1t treats. For instance, in a
speech at Topeka, between now and
the lSt Of September, | shall discuss
the guaranty Of banks and contrast
Mr. Tart $ position with the Demo-
cratic position. In Chicago I shall
discuss his attitude on the labor oues-
ton. In other speeches I shall dis
cuss his attitude on the tariff oucs-
ton, the trust question and other
questions on which he has cxprcsscd
himself.
"fhc most noticeable featnrc of
his speech is his attcmp, 10 amend
the Republican platform by cneraft-
IN" IN IT some Of the pIanks OF tho
Democratic plat form. lie is cvidcnt-
~ not satisfied with tho work or t)o
convention and is deeply impressed
by the work Of the Democratic con-
Fcht'"n, II" is umcl1aritablc however.
IN not giving the Democratic party
credit for having pointed ont thc rc-
1"rmS which his convention rcpudiat-
cd' but which he. in half-hcartcd
way endorses. The speech shows that
nc Tears the uprising w.rch Rcpubli-
can abuses have caused and vet hcsi-
fat"S to adopt his real and substantial
rcforms.''
confirmation was given by Mr..
bryan today to the story printed in
the aitrrn""n that il was not his IN
'rnti"n I" make any extended cam
pal"n tour, but only To- deliver a few
prepared speeches at central points
before thc list OF October, and that
during that month he expects to re-
nam at home and assist in the cdu-
"al'"naI work Of the campaicn
through the discussion Of public
questions m the form Of signed arti
cl"S, interviews and letters.
'Th" outline Of my plan of cam
pa'%n aS printed tnday,' said Mr..
hrNan,' is substantially correct. but
/ am not yet prepared to announce
the number Of speeches or the places.
brSld"S speaking in Topeka in August
and at Chicago on Labor day, shall
attend the Democratic convention ot
Peoria September Q. the notification
OF Mr. Kern at indianapolis on a date |
not Yet fixed and Il farmers congress

Although the heat was intense To-
day. large number Of visitors rode |
"nl I" Fajrvirw and paid their rc-
SrrctS I" IN" Democratic leaders. One

ties with Mr.. Bryan Tor n-,nc time
and expressed the belief that Ohio
would be found in the Democratic
column in November.
The actual writing of his speech Of
acceptance has not vet been begun bv
Mr.. Bryan. but he said today that his
ideas were about formulated and no
would enter upon the work Of pre-
paratlon in q day or two. The fact
that IN additional stcnographcr has
appeared on the scene is an indico-
tlon that all is in readiness for this
important work.
