Boston, March 30. R M Whitney, Massachusetts Democrat and former lieutenant governor candidate, published a letter from William J Bryan on railroad policy.

He says regulation will not deny reasonable returns and discusses value assessment by the Interstate Commerce Commission to protect investors.
