GOVERNOR BRYAN PRAISES HIS PARTY’S PLATFORM Pat Harrison Delivers the Notification Address to Governor of Nebraska. Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. 18—Before a ■gaWkedp* es friends and supporters and national and sectional party leaders. Governor Chns. W, Bryan tonight formally accepted the homination for the vice presidency by the Democratic party and laid down in unmistakable terms the principles and issues on which he will go before the .people for victory at the polls.

Davis, who a week ago chose the outdoors for launching the Democratic campaign at Clarksburg, W. Va. Governor Bryan definitely opened his campaign with a promise to the pro gressive farmers and wage earners that the Democratic party would stand ns a unit in seeking a solution of their diffi culties. Senator Harrison, of Missis sippi, who delivered the notification ad dress, also acclaimed the Democratic or ganisation as the only one to which the ■progressive elements could look for di rection in the leadership and asserted the presidential race would be between the two major parties. The vice presidential candidate praised his party’s platform as “broad, strong and progressive enongh to justify the support of those who believe in equity before the law,” and declared the* Demo crats have presented a program of pro gressive policies “for whicli the party stands as a unit, without the intervention of faction, bloc or section.” He pledged his full support to Mr. Davie and declared both he and the pres idential candidate are in harmony with the platform upon which they will fight for electoral support. “By the selection of one from the heart of the great middle west as its candidate, the Democratic party recog nizes the importance -of agriculture a* one of the basic industries of the na tion,”. Mr. Bryan asserted, adding that “we have the assurance that our party is in direct sympathy with the needs and advancement of the farmers of the coun try.” “It is unthinkable," he said, at an other point, “that the great host of pro gressive farmers and wage earners, both organized and unorganized, who I know from active association in service for many years, having this great party or ganization presented now as a fit instru ment through which to work their* will, should permit a division of strength and make possible the triumph of the forces of teaction and selfish interest.” He felt, he said, it was but due to say he was “conscious of no obligation to any interest or any individual that would embaraas me in the discharge of the duties of the* office.’ ’ I He accepted with the solemn pledge, |he added, that “every ability I ean ex ercise and every effort I make, shall be with an eye single to the material, moral and spiritual welfare of my country and my countrymen.” .Honesty, efficiency and economy in government were declared by the nomi nee as the need of the hour. He laid at the door of the Repub lican administration (the responsibility for “unrest throughout the country,” du i plication of government work, unneces sary boards and commissions, high cost of government and excessive taxation. | He id welt particularly, however, on agriculture and charged the Republican (party with changing the farmers’ con-, dittos “from prosperity to adversity/' ——■ —-—— ' "i 1 ■ .
