Germantown, Ohio, tor President,
having received word from William
Jennings Bryai that he would not ac
cept the nomination.
Bryan wired his refusal to his

lows: "Please deliver the following mes
sage to the chairwoman of the Pro
hibition national convention, now ia
session at Lincoln: Having been
away from the railroads and telegraph'

hours I have not received your tele
gram notifying me of the nomination
tendered me by the Prohibition party
convention. But, reartng a copy ot It
in the Boseman Chronicle, I hasten to
reply. I profoundly appreciate the
honor done me In tendering this nom
ination and I fully share in the con
vention's Interest in prohibition as the,
remanent policy of our country and
in the strict enforcement of the Vol
stead act without any weakening of
its provisions?, lalso share the con

ure of the Democratic tfftd Republic

to such a policy, but I cannot in Jus
tice to the prohibition party nor to
myself accept the nomination.
"My connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohibi

not willing to sever my connection
with the Democratic party which has
so signally honored me in years past.
