CHANGES OF SUCCESS IMPROVE.
Senator Clay Thinks Bryan a Sure
Winner.

Several Americas people attended
the great barbecue and Confederate
reunion over at Lumpkin yesterday.
Senator Steve Clay and General Glenn
ent A. Evans were among the speakers,
and well entertained the vast throng.
In private conversation Senator Clay
spoke very hopefully of Bryan's victory
in November. He said Bryan speech
was one of the finest he ever read.
My only regret, said Senator Clay,
SIS that did not hear him deliver it.
Bryan is a good man, and his chances
of success grow better every day. His
arguments against Imperialism are
unanswerable, and those who have
read his speech will say the same
thing. From all sections of the coun-
try the reports are very encouraging
and my belief is that we are going to
win.
