Bryan Speaks In Lincoln.

The Jeffersonian club of Lincoln,
Neb., rendered William J. Bryan a
complimentary banquet last Thurs
day night. Bryan, in response to
the toast "Principles Live," said that
whether or not he would ever be a
candidate for office again was ques-
tion which must be determined by
events. He would be content to aid
in the triumphs of principles while
others enjoyed the honors and bore
the responsibilities of public office.
"The presidency" he said, ':seemed
desirable because it would have ena-
bled him to give effective aid to GER
tain reforms, but even second de-
feat didn't lessen his interests in
these reforms. If the Democrats
are successful in reversing present
tendencies and bringing the govern
ment back to it's old foundations
they would rejoice" He was conf
dent the Democrats would ultimately
win, "but," he added, elf the trend
toward plutocracy cannot be checked
it is better still that we should be
defeated in righteous undertaking
than that we should join hands with
those who are ignoring the alienable
rights of man." Bryan was enthu-
siastically applauded.
