STONE MAKES A PROPHECY.
George Fred Williams Will Be Bry
nn's Nunnipg Mate.

81. Louis Republic
Chicago-Former Governor W. j. Stone
of Missouri, acting chairman OF the Ma
tional democratic committee in the abb
sence of Chairman Jones, left tonight for
st. Louis, after comforting with democratic
leaders here for day.
1T is my belief" he said tonight just
before starting, that George Fred Will
Jams of Massachusetts will be Colonel
Bryans running mate next year. Colonel
Bryan is certain to be the democratic NOM
jnee for president in 1900 and the oppos-
ton to his denomination will scarcely find
expression in the convention.
"One of my reasons for coming to Chi.
cago has been to see about the establish
ment Of great National democratic or
gan. We want newspaper equal to any
In the United States, and we can raise
$1,000 or 100000. By we l mean the
National democratic committee.
This newspaper will advocate the
antitrust issue. which will be the grea.
democratic battle cry of 1900, This issue,
which was given voice at the st. Louis
conference. is growing in Importance every
day. The people are beginning to appre-
ciate how completely they are at the mercy
of the mammoth industrial combinations
that control everything we need in life
IL is too early 10 say that this issue will
take precedence over all others in the
next National campaign. It certainly will
be one of tho foremost issues on which
the democratic party will go before the
people.
The democratic party will not treat the
trust issue in a frivolous or superficial
manner. but will deal with 1t in all its as
poets and demand revision of State and
Federal laws that will put an end to fur.
Their repression of competition in COM
inerce and manufacture.
1T is great subject and full of COM
pieXitles. but as the people are beginning
10 understand, the party leaders will hav.
little trouble IN putting 1t intelligently.'
As to the story about shutting out golt
democrats from the National democratic
convention of 1900, Mr.. Stone said there
was nothing to IL except that democrats
who attend the National democratic CON
yenllon next year must support the noml-
nee
no democrat who is a regularly &C.
credited delegate to the convention need
Tear that his seat is in Jeopardy" he
said, II X is his intention to indorse thC
action OF the convention, no matter VIVA
his politics n 1898. But democrats who
bolted the nominees in 1896 and who come
70 the convention prepared to fight the viii
OF The majority and then holt again ought
not, in my judgment. to he permitted tc
hold seats as delegates"
