Bryan Resurrects Old Stand
on Religion for 1924

NEW YORK. Juno 2i,-william
jennings Bryan viii submit TO tho
resolutions committee a plank from
tho democratic platform in 1896.
which he believes meets the re-
auIrements nov growing out OF the
Khan upheaval In the present con.
Yention.
The plank follows:
The constitution OF the United
States guarantees TO every citizen
the rights OF civil and religious lib
erty. The democratic party has al
ways been the exponent OF political
liberty and religious freedom and II
renews its obligation and rcaffirms
it's devotion TO these fundamental
principles OF the constitution"
Bryan declared that Col. +. II.
Callahan, OF Louisville. chairman OF
the committee on religious tolerance,
had called his attention TO the old
1896 plank and that he would urge
a reafflrmation OF these principles.
From the Weighing OF 1900
brains. an average weight OF 1851
grains for man and 1890 grains for
woman was found.
