BRYAN ECHOES FATHER'S SILVER COINAGEAPPEAL ‘Cross of Gold’ Charge Is Repeated; Calls for Conference. Bn TJnitrd finnit LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20.—The echo of his father's cry that mankind had been “crucified upon a cross of Bold" rang throughout the west again today as William Jennings Bryan Jr. announced a conference of fifteen western Governors to consider demonetization of silver. Memory of the elder Bryan's famous “cross of gold" oration that electrified a Democratic national convention and swept him on as his party’s presidential standard bearer for three unsuccessful campaigns was revived by the announcement. "The truth of my father’s theory has been demonstrated," Bryan said. “The world indeed has been crucified on a cross of gold." He said he had no personal political ambitions, but only wished to forward the move for coinage of silver, though not necessarily on the sixteen-to-one basis his father urged for years. “Though this theory once was discredited by a gold-mad world, it now can be seen that practical demonetization of the metal is one of the chief cause of stagnation of world trade and commerce,” Bryan said. Bryan asked each Governor to appoint twelve delegates to the conference to be held in January at a site later to be determined. The elder Bryan's call for free and unlimited coinage of silver, which brought his nomination in 1R96, came during a period of depression not unlike the present. In addition to Democrats, Bryan was supported in his campaign against William McKinley, Republican nominee, by the people’s party and a branch of the Republicans who split over the question of silver.
