Bryan attacks Parker.
Mr.. Bryan after the result In the
national committee was made known
said:
I had expected this. When Mr.. Gufrey
was seated in tho national mmi
against the protest Of the Democrats II
Pennsylvania I learned what l had ex.
pected. that the majority of the commit.
tee has no conception Of Democracy or ii
30 slavishly under the control Of the pred.
atory interests a. not to be free to follow
their conviction. tn reasons they CIV,
are Ike AL reasons given in defense oil
wrong. They are insincere and are no
the reasons that in reality influence them
The hght will be resumed, at which 9
progressive candidate will be presented
for the convention to vote for a. tempo.
rary chairman. and tho line will be ORA
SO that the delsSatss can decide whsthe,
they will ally themselves with the Bel
mont-Ryan-Aurphy crowd that brousnt
overwhelming defeat on tho party eish,
years ago and which Is In close and con.
~tinuoas oopArtnsrship with the crowd tina
nominated Mr.. Taft In Chicago.
The predatory interests have no politics
no policies. They are with the party tina,
serves them. Having enabled a minority
of the Republicans to override the viii O,
a majority OF Republicans at Chicaxo
they are now hero to enable a minority OF
the Democrats to override the majority Of
this convention.
There Is not a great exploiting Interest
that Is not represented In the Hobbies Of
the hotels here. There il not a corruptins
innuene in American politics that Is moi
being used. and the delegates to this con.
vention underestimate the intelligence OF
the mon who sent them here II they think
that they can 70 back and deceive them
