Opinion WOULD DOT COMMIT HIS PARTY Nebraskan Willing to Leave the Mat ter of a Platform Entirely With His Party-Government Ownership of Railroads Simply Sis Personal View, and Whether it Will he an Issue is Not For Him to Say. Louisville, Ky., Special.-Hon.' W. J. Bryan spoke herc on Wednesday night to an immense crowd and was introduced by Hon. Henry Watter son A distinct ov?tioil was accord ed the famous Nebraskan; Mr. Brayn read a statement which in part, follows: "In my speech at the New York reception I made some remarks con cerning the ownership of railways and thought ili?t I had expressed myself so clearly that my position could 119t be misconstrued even by those who desired to misconstrue ir. The New York speech was prepared in advance, lt \v?? Mot billy writ ten b?t lt Was carefully revised, lt stated exactly what I wanted to state and I have nothing to withdraw or modify .in the Statement therein nj??e. What I say tonight is rath er in the nature of an elaboration of the ideas therein presented, Reiterate!! Former Utterance* "Afi&V quoting from the Democrat ic platform of 1900, that 'a private monopoly is indefensible and, intoler able' and after K-vi'lg il down as a principle that public ownership should'begin where competition ends-, and that the people should have the benefit of any monopoly that Blight be found necessary; ? stated tildi ? had relied Ire copi?s?&i 'that rail roads partake so much-of thc nature of a monopoly that the\r must ulti mately become public property and be managed by public ofilciah in. the in terests of thc whole Oomhhiiliiy.5 I added: '1 do not krioW that thc Coun try is ready for this legislation: I do _not know that Hi? majority bf lily bwh bc seemed to thc people without thc dangers of cont ra li?, at loll. "This sys tem contemplates Federal .ownership of the trunk lines only aiicj Hie own ership of local lilies by the several States-, i flirt her expressed it as my opinion that the railroads themselves were responsible for the growth of sentiment in favor of public owner ship and said that while I believed that the rate bill recently enacted should be given a fair trial. We might expect to see the railroads still Inore active in politics unless our experi ence with them differed from the experience we had had with fran chises holding corporations. This statement of my views has been as sailed by some a? an attempt to force these views upon the Democrats party, and by some RS an announce ment of an in lent iou to insist upon private ownership aa wt? have had it or as we arc likely to have it." His Own Views. "Let mc answer these two charges. I have tried to make it clear that 1 expressed my own opinion and. I have never sought to compel the accept ance of my opiuion by ano one else, should contain a plank in favor of government ownership, then that plank ought lo be inclnded. Tf. thc Democrats think ir ought not t<> con tain such a plank, then such.a "olauk ought not to be included! It vests with the party to make the platform and the individuals can only advise. I have spoken for myself and for my self only, and I did not know how the suggestion would be received. I am now prepared to confess to you that it has been- received more favorably than ] expected. There is this, however, that I" do expect, namely, that those Democrats who oppose government ownership will Reserving the right to do my think ing, I respect the rights of every man to do his thinking. you ask mo whether the ques tion of government ownership will be an issue in the campaign of 1?KI.S, I answer, I do not know. If you. ask me whether it ought to be in. the platform, I reply 1 cannot tell until I know what the Democratic voters think?upou the subject. If thc Demo crats believe that the next platform accompany their declaration against it with thc assertion that they will favor government ownership . when ever they are convicted that the country must choose between govern ment ownership of the roads and railroad ownership of thc govern ment. No Regulation Possible. "I still advocate strict regulation and shall rejoice if experience proves that the regulation can be mads effective. I will go farther than that, and say that I believe we can have more efficient regulation under a Democratic administration, with a Democratic Senate and House, than we arc likely tb have under a Re publican administration, AV?III a Re publican Senate and House, and yet I would not be honest if J did nut frankly admit thal observation has convinced me that no such efficient regulation is possible and that govern ment ownership can bo undertaken on the plan outlined with less clanger to th? country than ia involved in ?ii tinto ownership .ns wo Have if or jig we are likely, tu haye ii."
