O.TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1915 A HALF HOUR SPENT vrra the woner OR VAY TO KINSTON Editor" of The Free Press Has Pleasant Interview . With the Distinguished Citizen CoTtcerning: Mas ters that Confront Nation Today ) The Editor of The Free Press had the privilege of naif an hour's inter view with itoru William Jennings Bryan en route to Kinston Monday night to make an address at the Kin ston Fair today,- Mr. Bryan in enmmenting upon the subject of his address today, "The European War and Its Lessons For Us." said that fe had selected this subject because !he felt it was the most Important one for the American people to consider today and that wherever he went he felt it hist duty to discuss the subject as much as.poa side in order thai the people of Amer ica might get a better understanding. In speaking of the Administration's preparedness plan, Mr. Bryan did not hesitate to say a he has been quoted before, that in, Jus opinion the Ad ministration wal wrong, that Presi dent Wilson wasfmaking a blunder in changing, the tiije honored policy of the nation. "I ws willing and would have agreed to! an appropriation equivalent Ho that of the preceding year, although my plan has been to reduce the appropriation graklually each year, with a view to disarma ment, but I could not endorse the plan of the Administration which carries in" the army appropriation alone an increase of more than thirty , per cent." , Mr. Bryan deprecated the criticism that has been waged in different parts of the country against the so- called hyphenated Americans and, said he, "There are no more loyal cit izens in this" country than those of German ancestry. ; "We must have consideration for the land of one's birth. It is very natural that these men should incline to the German side of the conflict, but if America was drawn into the war tomorrow it is my judgment that the German-Ameri can element would enlist more large ly in the American cause than any other of our people." ; Mr. Bryan, when asked what bear ing he thought the tariff would have upon the elections said the tariff is always an issue, of course; the Re publicans make it so, but he seemed inclined to think "that the question of preparedness and the policy of the Administration on that score would have more bearing upon the- out come of the 1916 election and the des tiny of the party than the tariff or any toher issue that might be in jected. He was very emphatic in his affirmation that the policy of the Ad ministration was wrong and that un less modified and : checked in s ime way it would bring disaster to the party. " - ' In his few minutes speech at La Grange, from the rear platform, Mr. Bryan spoke of the esteem that he held for the people of North Caro lina, recalling that it was tho first State of importance to endorso his candidacy at the Chicago Convention and that the State had remained loal to him in his succeeding candidacies, ffe fold the people that this was the first visit he had made to this im mediate section because he had been Spending his time in sections of the (Continued on Page Two) ' ; ROUNDHOUSE COLLAPSED AT WIINGT'N FOUR FATALLY HURT; DAMAGE VERY GREAT - .
