time he had finished his breakfast and

enough to get in the shed, do not handle

BRYAN EXPLAINS
HIS POSITION

Lincoln, Neb., September 3o.-In explain
alton of his position on the proposed de-
bate with Senator Bailey of Texas at At
lanta. Ga, william ]. Bryan today ad-
dressed a letter to Clark Howell, editor
of the Atlanta Constitution. The letter
follows:
s.I wired you last night that I would
communicate with you by letter my rea-
sons for believing debate inadvisabie.
When a Joint meeting was suggested at
Eel Paso, Tex I replied to the erect that
I am trying to aid in the election Oh a
democratic majority in the next congress;
to that end 1 have suggested pr1e1' pVt
specific tariff plank which l ask demo-
cratic candidates to accept, reject or
amend. and that believing a debate would
tend to turn attention from the issue to
individuals, would not consider tire prop
osition unless it came as personal re-
quest.
81 might add the further reason that a
debate between two democrats wouid ac-
centuate the tariff differences that nave
embarrassed our party In Congress ana
give the republican newspapers cnapce
to dwell upon democratic dissensions IN
stead of devotng their time to the con-
test now being waged between the pro-
gressive republicans and the stand-pat-
ters.
"a debate might be pleasing to the par
ticipants and entertaining to the audi
ence, but I think that the subject wAiSh
1 am endeavoring to present Is worthy OF
calm and serious consideration. Very
