BRYAN,S CLUB PLAN no BOLT.
He Says Reorganizers Arc Wrong In So
Describing II.

LINCOLN. Neb.. March Sin this weeks
Commoner Mr.. Bryan says that he and his
friends are not contemplating a bolt. He
says:
Some Of tho r5organizers, recognizing
that their secret schemes are menaced by
the organization Of Kansas City platform
clubs. as proposed by the Commoner, are
attempting to scare loyal but weakened
Democrats by saying that the contemplated
movement is a threatened bolt.
This charge is both false ard malicious
and comes with bad grace from those who
have themselves bolted a Democratic Presi-
dental nomination. The organization which
il is desired to form at this time is similar
n plan and purpose to the bimetallic
league organized at Memphis In 1896 and
without which il would have been impossible
TO have carried the Chicago convention.
Organization and an open tight are all
that can protect the rank and file from
the designs Of those who desire TO emas-
culate the platforms. IL Is a vital matter
to real Democrats and it behooves them
to exert themselves to the end that they
may save the party from degradation and
decentralization.
IF the Kansas City platform Democrat.
do their duty the question Of boiling will
never arise That will be left for the con-
sideration OF those who bolted before.
The fight will be made at the primaries,
where the voice Of the people alone is
heard

LONDON, March 5.-An important depu-
tation called on Prime Minister Balfour at
Westminster this afternoon to ask for
Government inquiry into the security OF

tation included the Lord Mayor Of London,
leading bankers, corn merchants, shippers
and representatives OF labor societies.

Samuel, the Lord Mayor. in speaking on
the question. said the deputation wished
20 have the matter considered when there
was no fear Of war rather than when there
was a panic. Therefore, the present was
a suitable time for full inquiry into the
entire subject.
Admiral Sir John Hopkins declared en-
phatically that the present number OF British
cruisers could not protect the food supply
destined for Great Britain in time OF war.

Britain depended upon foreign nations for
