BRYAN OUT Of RACE
"I AM NOT AND WILL HOT AGAIN
BE A CANDIDATE
Trusts, Imperialism, Tariff apd Money
Are Necessary Issuesss Demo-
cratic Leader Declares.

-
William Jennings Bryan made An address
at the thirtieth annual dinner Of the New
York Press Club Saturday evening. Upon
his arrival In the metropolis Mr.. Bryan was
interviewed by a representative, of the
Evening Telegram. 70
II have said on many occasions that
am not and will not be again a candidates
for renomina tion," said Mr.. Bryan, land
you cannot make that statement too en-
phatic. Under no consideration would I
again go into the field, andpI say this now
for the benefit of my friends in the east.
I am a plain worker In the democratic
ranks, and am content to remain as SUCH
THAT being the case, what, in your opin-
ion ought to be the real issues of the next
campaign on the democratic side?" he was
asked.
Events make issues, but the trust ques-
ton and the question of Imperialism are
just now necessary issues. The tariff ques-
ton and the money question are also very
necessary issues, and there are many others
But those have mentioned are now &C.
lively before the country and before Con-
gress."
Not Ready to Discuss Candidates.
As to probable candidates, Mr.. Bryan said
that he preferred not to discuss the subject
What do you think Of Judge Parker of
the court of appeals from this state?' he
was asked.
II have heard a great deal Of favorable
comment about Judge Parker, but when
ascertain that men are aspirants for the
nomination I will make 1t my business to
investigate these men and the principles
which they are supposed to represent Then
I will be prepared to discuss them
II notice that I am credited with having
suggested the name of Governor Garvin Of
Rhode Island as an available candidate.
That Is an erroneous impression. I read
his annual message to the legislature and
I found IT to be purely democratic docu-
ment.
For that reason suggested that it might
be wise to consider men of his stamp
among the possibilities. But 1t seems that
the men who have Tile making Of presi-
dental candidates nowadays do not want to
find truly democratic men to represent
them " ="

APPEAL FOR HELP.
Additional Subscriptions Needed by
the Associated Charities.

In acknowledging the following contribu-
tons received through its treasurer, Mr..
John Joy Edison, the Associated Charities
desires to state that the recent mild
weather has not decreased its work so
much as the serious dminution. in subscrip-
tons would suggest. Sickness, widowhood,
lack Of employment, misfortune and other
causes Of distress are not removed by few
days Of pleasant temperature. Even the
need Of fuel continues larges because needy
families are obliged to have one fire for
cooking and washing, and this single fire
Is all that many have in the coolest wealth
er. OF course, the preventiye, constructive,
character building work must go on
throughout all seasons.
Subscriptions received during othe first
fourteen days of February, 1903, were
$177S.63 less than the amount subscribed
during the same period in 1902 This was
simply DUE it is said, to misconeeption as
to existing needs. AZ 49,
Unless the deficiency can be made up and
additional amounts secured during the next
few weeks, the usefulness Of the Associated
Charities. 1t Is claimed will be seriously
impaired. The budget, $4,000 for the en-
tire year, is to be secured entirely from
voluntary contributions. Small subscrip-
tons are appreciated as much as large ones,
provided each does his share
