BRYAN
NEBRASKAN
PROVES HIS
SINCERITY
Requests Republican Can
didate to Join Him in
Securing Passage tor
Bill Through Congress.
WASHINGTON, .May 2G. The first
big sensation of the presidential cam
paign came t inlay, wheu William .To li
nings I!rynn simiI a telegram to Wil
liam Howard Tuft suggesting Hint they
join in urging congress to putts a bill
limiting compulsory tin publication of
campaign contributions. This move by
lirynn is looked upon ris ono of great
wisdom by (ho democratic loaders, who
say it shows his sincere determination
to conduct, his campaign without the
aid nr. great corporate influence;. The
Tuft men would not criticize Tiryan s
action publicly. I mt it is understood
that they are inclined to look upon it
as a "play to the galleries." Bryan's
message reads as follows:
"Hon. William Howard Tnft, Sec
retary of War, Washington, T. (!.:
"I beg to suggest, that as tho load
ing candidates of our respective parties,
we join in asking congress to pass the
bill requiring the publication of cam
paign contributions prior to elections.
I f you I hing best , we can nsk other
candidates to unite with us in the re
quest. " W. J. BKAN."
Secretary Tal't today replied to Wil
liaiu .T. Hrvan 's telegram as follows:
' William .1. I try an. Lincoln, Neli.:
Your telegram received. On April last
I sent. Ihe following letter to Secretary
Harrows, chairman of committee on
privileges and eltetioiis. 'I sincerely
believe that il would greatly tend to
ward tho absence of corruption from
politics, if all the expenditures for the
nomination and election id' all cuiidi
dates, and all eont ribut ions received,
and expenditures made by political com
niill.es could be made public, both in
respect to slate and nat ional 1 polit ics.
.l'or that reason I sincerely favor the
passage of the hill now pending in the
senate and the house of representatives
which would bring about this result, as
far as nat -una I politics is concerned.
" ' I make this letter personal be
cause I am anxious to avoid assuming
an at t it ude in connection with the
coming presidential campaign, which it
is quite possible I shall have the right
to assume, but so far as my personal
iiiflm nee is concerned, I am anxious
to givo it in behalf of the passage of
the bill.' Since writing the above let
ter in answer to inquiry, I have public
ly s.'i id 1 hope such a bill would be
parsed.

hour more than the Nelson schedule.
