Al committee will meet to-mor-
row to map out the plan
of the campaign, select the campaign
headquarters and decide upon the ques-
ton as to the advisabllty OF general TOUR
of New England and the southern states
by Candidate Bryan, and it is understood
that Mr. Bryan has been so gratitied with
the enthusiastic receptions accorded him
wherever he has appeared since ne won
the nomination at chicago that ne Is ahA-
ious to travel over the entire country dur
ing the campaign. He has decided to
visit his running mate, Mr.. Sewau, in
Maine, Immediately after the nouhcatlon
meeting at Madison Square Garden. The
question in the mind of his managers Is
as to the propriety or the political policy
of permitting him to indulge in any
speech-making while he is in New Eng
land. 1t is said that he desires to make
several speeches in that region, and force
the fighting all through that section of
the country. He feels satisfied that he has
the west beside him on the silver question
and he is anxious to make some converts
in the east 1t is also his desire to make
a trip through the south before the cam
paign closes, and it is the wisdom of such
policy that is to be discussed by the ma
tonal committee tomorrow.
II is well known that Senator German
agrees with Chairman Jones that ii is
not wise for Mr.. Bryan to indulge in po-
ltical speech making in Maine and the
other New England states during his visit
to Mr.. Sewall.
With his usual political sagacity Senator
German says nothing is to be gained by
injecting Mr.. Bryan into the Maine cam
paign in view of the fact that the state
election comes off in September, and that
the state is overwhelmingly republican.
Should the republicans carry September
election as they probably will the oppo-
nents OF Mr.. Bryan would at once seize
upon his participation in the contest and
try TO use it to his disadvantage.
As for his visit to the southern states,
there appears to be no serious objection.
provided the dates can be satisfactorily
arranged. A great deal will depend upon
the showing he makes at Madison Square
Garden Wednesday night
Some of his critics predict that he will
not be able to equal his star performance
at Chicago, which gave him the place he
now occupies in the public eye Others
predict that he will overdo the boy or
ator business, and in attempting to sur
pass MS greatest achievement descend to
