The following is Mr.. Bryan's

THE following is Mr.. Bryan's
position on several subjects and it
will meet the approval of all fair
minded men as we'll as Democrats:
"First- Mr.. Bryan does not ad-
vocate the retirement of outstand-
ing national bank currency but he
opposes any enlargement of the
privileges now enjoyed by nation
al banks and he believes that such
emergency currency as may be
necessary should be issued by the
government and not blythe banks.
Second-The comforting upon
ex-presidents of the right to par
ticipate in debate in the senate
and house need not be accom-
panied by compensation; in other
words, the privilege may be con-t
ferred as an honor rather than an
office.
Third The Democrats in the
senate are right in insisting that
important appointments should be
reserved for the president-elect.
This is especially true when the
appointees areto hold Office for
| life.
Fourth--The democrats at Wash
ington are justified in condemn
ing the partisanship which leads
the president to extend the civil
service when that extension had
nc higher purpose than the reten-
ton Of republican appointees."
