BRYAN MAY HELP
FORM NEW PARTY
PETTIcREw SAYS NERRAsKAN
WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE OF
REGULAR DEMOCRACY, BUT
MAY SUGGEST PLATFORM.

New York, July 21.-At a conference
just held in Manhattan Beach In which
the participants were Uniteo States
Senator F. 7. Dubois. Of Idaho; ex-Sen-
ator R. F. Pettigrew. of South Dakota;
Prof. Garrett Droppers, of South Da-
kota, for ten years professor of political
economy In the Imperial University.
Toxic, and George Shibley. of Washing
ton, plans were discussed for a new ma
tional party
So far as 1t has gone, the new party
seems to be an effort to unity the So
called Liberal Democracy. which already
has state organizations In New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey and Ohio.
Mr.. SHIRLEY presented for the consider
alton Of the members of the conference
complete outline Of plan for a ma
tional organization on lines similar to
the state organizations OF the Liberal
Democracy.
At the close OF the conference Senator
Pettigrew gave out a statement in which
he said; MT. Bryan will not be the cam
didate of the regular Democracy In 1904.
but he and his friends hope that he will
nave MUCH TO say regarding the pat
form and the management OF the cam
paign. If he does not, Mr.. Bryan and his
associates will form new party, based
on the Kansas City platform.
Free silver will pot again be a polit-
lcal issue. When we demanded the free
coinage of silver VIC wanted more money.
Since then immense new gold fields in
Alaska and South Africa have been op
ened there Is more money than ever be-
fore, and greater prosperity.
THE result is what we predicted when
we asked for more money Times are
coed in the west in spite of the beef
trust. The farmers get more for their cat
tie and higher prices for their cereals
but on other principles, aside from
silver. the West has not changed. We
adhere to the original principles of De-
mocracy, although the country is fast
drifting away from all it's mooring. The
main trouble is the departure from the
original form of government. A Fourth
of July grafton of ten years ago will
not fit today"
Mr.. Shibley, who drafted the outline Of
the new party, said:
II have been engaged for years In the
effort to establish the referendum, not
as a party issue, but as an essential to
majority rule. We now have organiza-
ell candidates on record on this ques-
tion, and 1t is bound to be adopted and
made campaign issue sooner or later"

Jack Brean was probably fatally cut and

ably prove fatal, although he is resting
