That William Jennings Bryan was

one of the statements made by en-
Senator Fred T. Dubois in Baltimore
Yesterday in answer to Bryan" de-
nunciation of the New York delcgat-
ions action Saturday afternoon in
switching it's vote from Harmon to
Clark.
He added that Mr.. Bryan was man
eneaginelv deceptive, and beautifully
false and misleading, when ne blamcs
Clark for not accepting James Tor
the temporary craftsmanship, and de-
clared that Bryan did not speak the
t,,,th when he said Clark's managers
tried to advance the Speakers inter
csts by plotting with reactionarleS.
Supplementing a demand that the
Commoner cease "uttcring these false
statements" Senator Dubois ended
his statement by saying that Bryan
should be able to stab his friend to
death without resorting to political
trickery.
