Dahlman, Mayor of Omaha and member of the Democratic Na tional Committee from Nebraska, said Tuesday in reference to The World's article on Thomas F. Ryan's contri bution: “Damnable lies of the blackest sort! Pile it on me as bard as you want to. I am the arch criminal in this, and Bryan is absolutely blame less. "Bryan supported Parker during the whole campaign, took the stump for him months before the money was paid and never known of its pay ment. “After the St. liOuls convention adjourned, the National Committee met to select its chairman. TTaRgarffned of Indiana was a candidate, hut the Easterners were for Sheehan or some other man-from the East. Be- llevihg that a Western man would make a better head for the National Committee I took up the fight for Taggart, who was elected at an ad- .ourned meeting a few weeks’fater. “Sheehan asked me what were the chances for carrying Nebraska for Parker. I told him no man living could tell what Nebraska could do until after the State convention made Its nominations. “I came straight from New York 4o4her3tate convention In this State, and there saw there was absolutely no hope of carrying Nebraska for Parker. I tjier^fore wrote Sheehan that money afin speakers sent here would he wasted. “Later in the campaign, in October, ( saw we had a good chance of elect- '■W.

It was all •iirned over to me, and 1 spent it all •n the State campaign, not one penny >f it going into the National cam paign or to Bryan. “The money did good, and while rtoosevelt carried the State by 83, 000, Berge lost it by less than 10,- 000. ""if we.had had $15,000 more we would have, carried the State for "Berge. "TJiere, I think that is all there Is to say about these trumped up charges of the New York paper.
