Mr.. BRYAN ISM 7
CALLED; JUST
NINCING'
Secretary Declares He's Not a
Circus Actor, YodIer or Artist
Scores Critics.

PHOENIXVILLE PA, Sept. 16.-
Secretary of State william Jennings
Bryan, speaking in his most serious
vein, denies that he is a montebank.
a vaudevillian. a peanut Secretary Of
State or that he has made a travesty
on diplomacy as has been alleged edl-
torially by many leading newspapers
of the United States as well as in
England and on the continent.
The Secretary of State had no de-
sire to talk for publication about
the criticisms that have been heaped
upon him, but he has talked to per
sons he has met on the Chautauqua
circuit and has complained bitterly
of the false light in w'fiCh he has
been placed" 1t was in verification
Of these statements, apparently made
in confidence, that he consented to
talk.
Secretary Bryan said that he is
much maligned individual. He takes
the stand that ne is IAN added at
traction" on the Chautauqua circuit
and objects strenuously to being con-
sidered or pictured as an acrobat
Swiss yodler or a member of a vaude-
vile team.
Not Circus Man.
He objects strongly to being pic
tured on a stage between two per-
fectly capable members OF the the
atrical profession.
The fact that he and his Ghautau
qua lectures had been the target for
leading and critical editorials in
many Of the leading newspapers Of
the United States did not appear to
worry the Secretary great deal al
though he acknowledged that he is
not overload Of reading continually
about that $3.50 he gets for each
Chautauqua lecture.
The editorial attacks by the news
papers of England and the continent
have bothered the Secretary more
than he is willing TO acknowledge. He
dislikes TO read that he is making a
travestv out of diplomacy and that
his conduct causes laughter from the
foreign diplomats
What right have they to declare
am making a travesty Of diplomacy
he asked in a petulant manner. They
do not know the real facts. They dc
not stop to investigate and they Ger
tainly should make an investigation
before making wild statements. The
statements that I am neglectlng my
duties at Washington so that I may
continue this lecture tour are abso-
lutely untrue.
Hates To See 1850" in Type.
"The statements that the Mexican
situation and the japanese situation
have reached acute stages and require
by constant presence in Washington
likewise are untrue. The foreign
newspapers must get their ideas from
the columns of the newspapers of the
United States"
Throughout his talk the Secretary
OF State showed very plainly that the
numerals $50" with a dollar sign
before them had the same effect upon
him as a red flag has upon bull He
acknowledged that he does not like
10 talk to newspaper men about his
Chautauqua trips because he fears
a wrong Interpretation will be placed
upon anything he may say in the same
manner as a wrong Interpretation has
been placed upon the lecture tour
self
Neither did the Secretary of State
give any intimation that he had any
intention Of giving up the lecture tour
and the consequent loss Of revenue.
