White With RAGE Nebraskm Attacks His WHY
BRISBANE WRITES OF BRYANS WAR ON THE MONEY KINGS

can not possibly make MS voice heafC
in the din
John w. Price of Virginia, is on the
platform waiting his chance to talk.
He gives way to Senator Vardaman
who begins Fellow citizens" He be-
gins, but can not get attention for a
long time.
Then he says: "A question so Vita
to the Democracy of America must be
settled by reason, good common sense
and moderation He shakes his fine
head of black hair and says Bryan's
resolution contains, lin part, some mer-
it, Then he says it's all right except
the part about kicking out individual
Democrats. but agrees that the fewer
Belmonts and Ryans in the party the
better for the party in November
Bryan gets the floor He knows how
to do that, and then yields to Price, OF
Virginia. This gentleman objects t.
the kicking out suggestion from Bryan
but admires the first part of his resolu-
ton, which is rather. hard on T. f
Ryan, denounced by name
Bryan Speaks Again.
Now Bryan makes another state
ment: II shall modify my proposition
Virginia notifies me that she desires
the last part of my resolution with
drawn
He goes on to say that if an author
lied member Of the New York delega
ton will rise and ask that the part
about Belmont be withdrawn he will
withdraw it New York members yell:
mo-"
Bryan says: q prefer to give New
York the opportunity. Does New York
want it?"
No answer Then Bryan says New
oYrk can defend herself and he'll re-
serve the rest,sof his time to talk
later. @
Imagine bowling, cheering, kissing
pounding with two gavels, shouting
through megaphones by clerks etc,
and you will help your mental picture
of the scene.
EX-G Governor McCorkle, of Virginia
is recognized and comes to the plat
form
He gets some silence and hearing
by polite bow to Bryan and the state
ment that he has been working for
years under Bryan's leadership He
opposes putting out the two individu-
ais
New York's delegation sits quiet and
sullen while McCOrkle surprises Bryan
by speaking of the latter's senseless
and foolish resolution The look that
Bryan gives him would curdle milk, al
most.
A great deal of yelling here. Nc
Corkle says he knows he will now be
denounced as owned by the interests, :
but he doesn't care He says Bryan has
put success farther away than it was
half an hour ago. He wants Ito drive
the money changers from the temple" a
little later, not just now.
It's Good Fight.
1t is good fght-1ust the kind of
troubled waters in which Bryan swims
best. He has fooled the bosses by
smooth ways into just the course he
wanted them to take. Now he can go
ahead.
McCorkle, having called Bryan sense
less. is cheered by Murphys crowd
Flood comes back to deny Bryan's
statement that Virginia had asked him
to recall HE resolution to kick out
Ryan Flood denies Bryan's truthful
ness and says, Every man in Virginia
is as honest as William j. Bryan ever
was" which are hard words to use to a
peerless one
Flood made it worse by saying that
the Democrats that sent Ryan here are
just as good Democrats a Mr.. Bryan
ever dared to be"
Saying this. Flood turned to Bryan,
shaking his head and both hands at
Bryan He says Bryans resolution is
IAN insolent proposition made by the
only man (Bryan) who wishes to de-
stroy the Democratic party"
Plenty of Harsh Words.
More hard words We are to have a
real battlefield here, one that will make
the performance of the battling bull
moose or Armageddon seem very gen
tie. If T R. could have had in the
Chicago convention hall such a tight
against Root as Bryan is making here.
T. R would have been named.
Then comes back Bryan, saying: at
was not necessary for the gentleman
(FIood) to praise Virginia That is the
state in which my father was born, and
three years ago that state sent dele
gates instructed for my third nomina-
ton"
That was praise indeed for Virginia
but it did not placate Virginia, which
