BRYAN BITTER IN HIS CRITICISM Denounces Men Who Violate Party Pledges. “ENBEZZLERS OF POWER” Does Not Deny a Candidate the Right to Repudiate a Platform, but It 8hould Be Done Before Election. Democratic Declaration at the Com- Ing Election, He Says, Must Be Spe- cific and Emphatic. Dallas, Tex., Sept. 1'.—Denouncing as an embezzler of power the man who would violate a party pledge, ratified by the voters of his party, ‘William J. Bryan, before a large audi- ence in Bush temple, discussed the tariff. While not denying to a candi- date the right to repudiate a part of & platform such repudiation, Mr. Bry- an asserted, should come before the election. “Cannonism” Mr. Bryan described as despotism and he suggested an amendment to the ruies of the house of representatives to correct what he considered faults. Mr. Bryan's subject was “Democ- racy and the Tariff.” He emphasized the necessity of senators and con- gressmen being bound by party plat- forms, saying he would later suggest a form for such a plan. “If all of the Democrats in the sen- ate and house had voted against every | i proposed increase in the tariff and for every proposed decrease we might have made our fight next.year upon the party’s record without making a specific declaration on items of sched- ules,” said Mr. Bryan, “but in view of the fact that Democrats in both the senate and the house differed as to the interpretation of the Democratic platform and as t6 the rates that should be imposed under the various schedules I believe that it is neces- sary for our platform to be specific and emphatic. If we expect to secure control of congress we must convince the public that we will, if entrusted with power, favor material reduc- tions.” Mr. Bryan concluded his address with an extended argument in favor of free raw material.
