From a Staff Correspondent
Lincoln, Neb., July 6. (Special.)
Former Mayor Charles VV. Bryan
gave to the press today a statement
outlining the program upon which he
ubmits his candidacy for governor,
subject to the decision of the demo
cratic primaries August 20.
Mr. Bryan insists that the state leg
islative and executive machinery
should be utilized to protect the pro
ducers and consumers of the state
from the indefensible and unpatriotic
greed of war profiteers. His platform
is elaborate, and specific, and the ob
jects to be attained by the legislation
suggested will be easily understood.
fr Rrvan' nlatfArm in main
follows:
The Platform.
I hT flUd u candidal for sorcrnor
' on th democratic ticket, aubject to th
action of tb prlmarlei Aucust 20. Six
wk ago I ave a atatamant to tha preaa
that waa widely publlabed, analyjing con
dition that war cauilnt tha unreal among
tha producer and consumers, and pointed
eat that tha menac to keeping tha peopla
of tha United Statea united and their mlnda
concentrated on winning tha -war waa un.
patrlotlo and conaolanealeaa profiteering
upon th aacrlftoea of th public. 1 tug
geatad a, atat leglalatlv program to aup
plamant tha work l'realdant Wllaon la do
ing to destroy tha paraaltea who were prey
ing upon tha open heart and open pocket
hooka of loyal Americana.
Two week ago Prealdent Wllaon itartled
th country by a publlo statement to the
affet that profiteering la practiced on a
wide ecale and that th Income tax report
on file at Waahlngton furnished the evj
Amet aa to th extent of th profiteering
and fixed th guilt on th right partlea.
On week ago the federal trade oommlaalon
pobUahed th reault Of U Investigation!
Into th eoat of manufacture of all llnea of
merchandise and smppllea neoeaeary to feed
and cloth th people and th army and
to furnlsb heat, power, ammunition and aup
pile for th publlo and far our soldiers
at th front, and en tha sees,, and tbat of
ficial report ao atartled th publlo aa to
what was going on In aoma business In
atltutlona as to Immediately make th ques
tion of (topping th profiteering th para
mount laau for th publlo to tonalder.
Not A Partlssri.
ta announcing six wecka ago leglalatlv
program providing mean aa to how the
atat governmental machinery could be
utilised to atop- th varloua forma of profit
eering by th levator and (lour mills, the
manufaoturera of farm machinery, by tc
torlea, by wholesale and retail merchants
nd Insurance oompanle. and auggeatlng
legislation to protect th laboring people
In oas of alcknesa or acoldent, I had hoped
that candidate oould be prevailed upon to
file for tha nomination for governor on one
or loth of tha two great political party
ticket of tha atate and lead a fight againet
tha apeclal lntereata that have been dom
inating th upper branch of our legislature
nd preventing em atate government from
carrying out the will of 'th people aa ex
pressed by 10.000 majority on th liquor
.motion. Tula la no time for partisanship
or partisan ' appeal. Tha people of Ne
braska ar nutted In a patrlotlo effort to
win tha war. They have oversubscribed
their quota In men and money for all
branch of th war service, and the great
object and aim of government official at
tbl Urn la to keep them so united by
leglalatlv action and executive leadership
aa to make It unnecessary for the peopla
to turn aside from th great work which
they are doing In the production of food
stuffs and tha manufacture of war ma
terial In orders to prevent a small group
of man from taking advantage of those who
trad la what other men produce.
V T High Profits.
Th profiteer who - ha been- denounced
by th prealdent and tha federal trade
commission cannot ahletd himself from an
outraged publlo by hit demagogla attacks
on men who appeal to the publlo to stand
by President Wllaon- and protect the public
from graft while th war I being fought
to a successful conclusion. No one should
in muaexuy, io ueisna tn enormous
profit taken from th publlo by the profit
eer and described In per cent of profits
by tha federal trad commission aa follows:
Som food dealer aa high aa 1,18 per
cent; liquor dealers, 1200 pet- cent; cold
storage concerns, 472 per cent; flour millers,
437 per cent! meat packer, 984 per cent;
soft coal operators, SO per cent; retail coal
concerns, St per eentt department stores,
331 per cent: retail clothing, 1,100 per cent;
tool manufacturer, 1st per cent.
Th federal government ehould not be
expected to appoint a million or mora In
spectors to go through the various states
1o atop local profiteering, and t he people of
Nebraska! ; ahoutd not have to wait for
relief from th many forma of profiteering
until th federal government cen take up
auch matter. It I th duty of th atat
government and municipal governmenta to
no tbia worn on behalf of cttlsens and to
assist In every way poaalbl the aerolo ef
fort) of President 'Wilson and his official
associate. ,
I offer below aom suggestions tor tha
consideration of tha publlo for oo-operatlng
with th president tn winning the war:
Unswerving support without question or
equivocation of President Wilson's wsr
plana until tha war la brought to a auc-
ceaarui and permanent close.
Prenish Disloyalty.
, Prompt and adequate punishment for all
i disloyalty or Interference with the program
, of tha commander-in-chief of thearmy.
Ample protection to all loyal cltlsen against
unjust criticism or attacks.
A atat trade commission with power to
Investigate coats and profits to report to
th chief executive of the state and legisla
ture .and to work tn harmony and supple
ment tha splendid work th federal trade
commission la doing to protect th people
or tn atat againat profiteering. ,
Enforcement of atate law against monon-
olle in restraint of trade and enactment of
xtew legislation to prevent profiteering.
Immediate war prohibition and ratlflca
tlon of the national prohibition conatttu
' tlonal amendment and equal suffrage state

State fire and hall Insurance. These would
be self-supporting and save th people sev
eral million dollars each year.
