BRYAN's SWAN SONG.
The Nebraskan Surrenders Leadership
of His Party.

Baltimore, July 3.-In what he
termed his ''valedictory' William Jen-
nings Bryan relinquished his leader
ship of the Democratic party last
night. His resignation as Democracy s
chief came in the commoner's address
declining to accept the nomination for
the vice presidency.
Surrounded by a small group Bryan
made his way to the stage to deliver
his valedictory. In declining the noml.
nation, he seconded the nomination of
Governor Burke of North Dakota and
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. Mr..
Bryans address follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Members of the
Conventions: You have been so gener-
Gus with me in the allowance of time
that I had not expected to transgresS
upon your patience again; but the
compliment that has been paid me by
the gentleman from the District of
Columbia justifies. / hope, word in
the form of a Valedictory.
For sixteen years 1 have been a
fighting man. Performing what L re-
garded as a public duty, 1 have not
hesitated to speak out on every pupIlc
question that was before the people of
the nation for settlement, and 1 have
not hesitated to arouse the hostility
and the enmity of individuals where 1
felt it my duty to do so in behalf OF
my country. (Applause.>
'I have never advocated man ex-
cept with gladness and I have never
opposed man except in sadness.
CHEERS and applause.) If 1 have any
enemies in this country those who are
my enemies have monopoly of hatred
There is not a single human being for
whom I feel a hatred. (ApPlause.) Nor
is there one American citizen in my
Cwn party or any other that I would
oppose for anything except I believed
that in not opposing him I was sur
rendering the interests of my country
which 1 hold above any person
A1udes to His Scars.
81 recognize that a man who fights
must carry scars (Applause) and 1 de-
cided long before this campaign COM
ties and had alienated so many that
my party ought to have the leadership
of one who had not thus offended and
who thus might lead with greater hope
oe victory. (Applause.)
And tonight 1 come with joy to sur
render into the hands of the one chosen
by this convention a standard which I
carried in three campaigns, and chal-
lenge my enemies to declare that it has
ever been lowered in the face of the
enemy. Great applause and cheering.)
The same belief that led me to prefer
another for the presidency rather than
to be a candidate myself, leads me to
prefer another for the vice presidency
rather than to be a candidate myself
"It is not because the vice presi-
dency is lower in Importance than the
presidency that 1 decline. There Is nc
office in this nation so low that 1
would not take it If 1 could serve my
country by accepting it. (Great ap-
plause and cheering)
Il believe that I can render more
service to my country when 1 have
not the embarrassment of a nomination
and have not the suspicion OF a selfish
interest-more service than could as

Marshall reared EIection.

indianapolis, Ind, July 3.-Gover-
nor Thomas R-Marshall, nominee for
vice president on the Democratic tick
ct, has been active in politics for many
years but he never had held public
office until he was elected governor
of Indiana in 1908. In 1906 he was
asked by the district committee to take
the nomination for congress but he
declined. He said he had strong per-
sonal reasons for not wanting to go to
Washington as a member of either
house of congress.
1T is notsVery likely that you would
have to co. said one of the commit
teemen, but nearly every decent
Democrat in this vicinity has been de-
feated for congress once and SOM
twice. It's about time you took a lick
ing like a man and a Dem ocrat. What
do you want, anyhow o.
"I would take a licking all right"
Marshall replied, but I'm afraid 1
would be elected. The only thing 1
want from the party is a nomination
for governor
Marshall received the coveted noni-
nation and was elected governor by
$4,000 plurality, although Taft car

a candfdate-and your candidates vii
not be more active in this campaign
than shall be. Great applause.)
He Feels Relief.
MY. services are at the command OF
the party, and I feel relief now that
the burden of leadership is transferred
to other shoulders.
"Al / ask is that, having given US
a platform the most progressive that
any party of any size has ever adopt
ed in this nation. and having given
US a candidate who 1 believe will ap-
peal not only to the Democratic vote,
but to some three or four millions OF
Republicans who have been alenated
by the policies of their party, there Is
only one thing left, and that is TO give
US vice president with our president
who is also progressive, SO that there
will be no Joint debate between our
candidates. (Great applause.)
L shall therefore conclude what
have to say to you after thanking
you for the very generous treatment
that L have received at your hands
Let me, in conclusion, second the noni-
nation not of one man, but of two
men, Governor Burke of North Dakota
and Senator Chamberlain of Oregon"
Robert E. Mattingly was the delegate
from the District of Columbia who pro-
posed the nomination of Mr.. Bryan.

LOST!

Lost by farmers in the United States
many millions Of dollars each year. by
the destruction of birds.
The high cost of living j. the every
day wall Of the public and the de-
struction of birds is indirectly part Of
the cause. A an example:-A crow
is estimated to catch 100000 insects
each year; if each insect destroyed
1-10 OF a cent a year, each crow would
earn the farmers s100 by saving the
crops from destruction
The Swat the fly" crusade can be
effectively carried on i'm the country by
the protection Of the pewee or fly
catcher. These birds are branded by
some people a. pests but at my place
there are or pairs that build each
year i'm the trees and they have never
as yet molested anything. l have OBJ
served these birds catch as many az
ten insects in five minutes.
So farmers BEWARE and stop this
wholesale destruction of birds at once
and save money.
