Word* in Common Lndic»t# Th»# He _ Regards the Leagne Friendly—D*. rlarea Republicans Afraid of the Peopled Fhgftjcal Valuation of Railroads is Necessary. A dispatch from Lincoln. Neb., un- der date of July 1, says: Mr. Bry *n majfes plain in an editorial in this week's Commoner, Issued \pday, that he expects to obtain the indorse ment of Hearst’s Independence lea gue. In another editorial he gives some broad hints upon platform planks. In the former Bryan defends the ~ New .York publisher from the “too quick assumption of RepuMfcans,'’ that he will oppose the Democratic ticket. After detailing various things Jor whch he should bjfc given credit, /ie says: / . . “Mr. Hearst could ! hardly be ex pected to * announce in advance of the other convention what bethought — ought to l»e done, )>ut it will be re membered that in 1904 he was a candidate in the Democrataic con vention. after the adoption of the platform written that year. He was willing to make the light for the reforms outlined In that platform. "There is no danger of the pit- form this year containing less of re form than the platform of 1904. There is every Indication that it will go even further In radical legis lation. If the platform of 1904 was good enough for Mr. Hearst to run upon, may not the Demo^raiic pla* form of 1908 be found good enough for Mr. Hearst to support? “The r mdidates. too, may have some inliuence in determine Mr. t TL^n 4 *o «x r» <4 » K rxr flran * "V'my 1 “ • 7X IS | ' miVI ' kUV wviglfYaT ■WCkxkTTI of the nat onal committee fs a factor to be considered; the general tend and action of the convention, also. - ought to have a right in determining with what force the Democratic party will be a'>le to appeal to the men who are connected with the Indepen dence party. “Plntocacy supports the party which leans most towards plutocracy, and the radical element is likewise independent. Each supports the party that gives the !>est assurance of securlnx what that element desir es. “The advocacy of rem'edta! measu re* is not the only thing required of a reform party: ability to secure re medial measures Is aa lr"p*»»taei aa the advoc tcy of them, and the radl- ch< who wants something done Is likely to ask h.imself two questions: “First, ‘What parties promise re form . “Second. ‘Of the parties promising rWform. * hleh party ran offer the h^st assuiances of fulfilling the pro- mi((Be?l Seized from behind by three power ful men who then beat, chloroform ed, robbed and attacked hpr, Mrs. Mary Sessman, 2« years old, a hand some p woman, of No. 105 West One Hundreth street. New York, Is pro bably dyingdfrom injuries received in one of the most daring h&ld-ups that has ever taken place in Cen- tral Park. Although the. attack occurred on the Transverse road, a stone’#; throw from Central Park street, Mrs. Sess- man's screams were not heard and she was left to He unconscious for fully an hour after her assailants left her. Then, covered with wounds and weakened from the terrific strug gle she had maintained against the three thugs, she literally dragged lerself to her home, where she faint ed in her mother’s arms. The police of the West One Hun dreth street station were notified and the reserves were sent to the park, but Mrs. Sessman’f condition was such that no description of her assail ants conld be obtained from her and the police were totally unsuccessful In their search. Mrs. Sessman was removed to the J. Hnnd Wright hospital from her 1 home, where It was said she might die from shock and the terjible beat ing she received at the hands of three meit;^—Her rings and money were stolen, representing * a loss of several hundred dollars. Plans Presented for a 84xty-two Story Building. A dispatch from New York says plans for a gigantic building, to be the loftiest in the world, overtopping t-y over 204 feet the Metropolitan IGuMlug, fkwL.., “The n dlcal element of the coun- try can v* ll afford to wait until after the Denver convention has adjourn ed in fore it decides what to do.” On the ?>rht page of the Commoner On th« hist page of the Common er Mr. Bryan arraigns the Republi cans on several counts. The first count if. based on the rejection of the pi j steal yal nation of railroad planfs: the second on the defeat of the rani|<ni|ji publicity resolution and th« third on the rejecton of the ' declaration “favoring tha election of senator* by direct vote. Mr. nfcan declfit-en that ‘There can he explanation of the" action of the Re publican convention, namely: That jt 'fs the twtewtlnn nf tluibu la 4iha*g«- of the Republican party to secure campaign funds from sources which they dare not disclose.'’ He broaches the new idea that “it is not necessary that small con tributions" shall tie made public and to make these public’ might, subject the giver to Inquiry, if. for instance, the giver was an employe and .op posed to his employer. If a man gives largely, the public has aright to know whore the gift comes from; if it is part of an implied contract whereby a return is to be secured ' in legislation" or Immunity, no cor poration of any kind should be al lowed to contribute to campaign funds, for corporations are not or ganized for political purppseB." —- Physical valuation of railroads he declares, is necessary. He says that so long as the truth is conceal ed: IhOW will 'be exaggeration on Both sides and the country ought to know whether the railroads are over capitalized. i Bryan insists there was bnt one r rpason w hy the direct vote for sena- 'y.tofe vae l»C8l en - It is this: “So long as the exploiting ihtefests tan coaticl the senate, they can hold tjve people at l>ay, and this is why the republican convention la silently thwarted* the purpeee of those Re- . (publicans who sympathize with the desire of thO ]»eople la their demand for relief trom present conditions.' Surely, the rank and file of the Re publican party will express their in- , dignaton at ths open and obvious • district of the people.
