Sunday brought no cessation of
hostllities between William Jennings
Bryan and Speaker Champ Clark.
Both gave out statements Sunday
night.
Mr.. Bryan sought to justify his
position in opposing the Speaker for
the presidency because of the sup
port given him by Charles F. MUIR
ply and the other members of the
New York delegation, denominated
by the Nebraskan as WAX figures. y
Mr.. Clark declared false and in.
famous" Mr.. Bryan's implied &C.
cusat;ons that the vote Of the New
York delegation placed him under
obligation to Pierpont Morgan. Au-
gust Belmont and Hhomas F. Ryan.
The Clark statement was in the form
of letter to Senator WmFJ. Stone
of Missouri. replying to. one pledg.
ing him continued support and urg-
ing him to remain candidate before
the convention until a nomination
was made.
In q statement denying Mr.. Bry.
ans statement. Mr.. Clark said in
conclusion:
AS Speaker, as a lifelong Demo-
crat, proud of my party. as an Amer. |
lean man, pronounce Mr.. Bryan's |
implied accusations both false and |
infamous.
If ! am speaking the truth with
respect to this matter, it follows
necessarily that the reasons advanc.
ed by Mr.. Bryan for /eparting from
the time.honored scustom Of our
party in recognizing the voice of the
majority are not reasons at all. but
the shallowest of pretexts put for
ward to achieve some purpose which
| shall not attempt to divine.
| bid you. then. say to my friends
that ! accept with deepest gratitude
their renewed assurances of loyalty,
and now declare without qualifca-
ton that my name will remain before
fore the convention. subject to trade
Or dicker, until two-thirds of the
delegates shall ratify or refuse TO
ratify the action of the majority"
