JERSEY CITY, Jan. 23:-In re-
sponse to the threat Cor promise) of
William Jennings Bryan to resign as
a delegate to the Democratic Nation
al Convention IL Nebraska instructs
for New Jerseys favorite son, Cover
nor Edward I. Edwards last night
issued the following statement:
II observe that Mr.. Bryan makes
a vicious attack upon me. 1t Is suf-
f1cient to say that those familiar with
his history know that Mr. Bryan al
ways has been for Mr.. Bryan. He
has never refused to adopt any
heresy that looked as If 1t could
garner votes.
HE adopted the fiat money heresy
and was decidedly repudiated by the
common sense Of the country.
"He says that no reform ever came
out of the East. He overlooked the
fact of one magnificent reform that
came out of the East which defeated
him and reformed the Democratic
party.
'Tetely those who have followed
him know that he adopted q pacifist
heresy which would have handed the
women and children of this country
over to the barbarism Of Teutonic
military autocracy, until the man
hood Of our country, by its menacing
attitude, drove him into an unaccus-
toned silence.
Nov he seizes the prohibition
heresy, thinking that under the mask
of an historical morality he can again
enter the house of democracy and
plunder 1t of its presidential nomina
ton. He will not fool the people Of
this country any more than he fools
me.
"I am ready to meet this gentle
man upon the legal or moral right
of any coterie to seize this govern
ment by the throat and destroy the
foundation OF American democracy"
