criticism of Congressman Clark's at.
scented in letter addressed to the
Florida general assembly. Mr.. Bryan
found it impossible to accept the in
vtation extended by the legislature to
come to Tallahassee and address them
in answer to Mr.. Clark's critism of
the Nebraskan and certain doctrines
contained in the Denver platform.
The reading of this letter was greet
ed with prolonged applause.
There are two schools of thought"
says Mr.. Bryan, lin regard to the duty
of the official: The artStocratic theory
is that people elect representatives to
think for them; the Democratic theory
is, on the contrary, that people think
for themselves and elect representa-
tives to give legal expression to their
thoughts and to voice their sentiments
q am suspicious of the official
whose conscience is dormant during
the campaign and only active when
he want to find an excuse for doing
what his constituents do not want
done"
Turning his attention from Mr..
Clark, Mr. Bryan addresses himself to
certain proposed legislation as fol-
lows: There is a reform which
should receive the support of all, wheth-
er they believe in prohibition or not.
The reform is this, that the federal
should discontinue the is
suance of license for sale of liquor in
territory where local authorities de-
eide to prohibit its sale"
Touching on trusts and monopolies
Mr.. Bryan declares that "the trust |
question is one with which the state |
must deal. Under our dual form of |
government the monopolist corpora !
tons have been playing each govern
ment against the other. They contend |
that they are engaged in interstate |
when the state attempts to |
legislate, and are staunch advocates |
Of states rights whenever the federal |
government attempts to restrain.
The regulation of corporations is
usually the most difficult subject with |
which legislator has to deal, be- |
cause of the influence brought to bear |
upon the legislators by the corpora
tons.
state governments should employ |
their own powers for the protection of |
the public against the evils of private
and | believe that the best
as well as the simplest solution will
be found in legislation fixing the per-
centage of control which a corpora
ton shall exert over product in which
it deals"
As TO The need of more adequate
banking laws, he says: "The banks are
not now sufficiently secure, as is evil
denced by the fact that the national
government, the state governments.
counties and the cities, all require spe-
clal security. A large part of the
banks prestige is due to the fact that
IL does business under a charter
granted by the government and is reg
ulated and inspected so as to give the
1epositors confidence in its solvency
and it is only fair"
In conclusion Mr.. Bryan said: "The |
initiative and referendum are being
ibopttd by state after state and they |
perfect our representative form of !
