Lincoln, Neb Oct William .,J
Bryan, in the current issue of his
Commoner, says that the tariff is to

There may be districts which the
democratic candidate will have SO
large a personal following that his
constituents will trust him without
platform, but these districts are for

who objects to a platform is the very

platform. If candidate is in sym

platforms and is willing to let the
voters know where he stands The
next thing is to find a democratic can
