that he waived the privilege which

BRYAN TO THE 'FRONT.' AGAIN
DEMOCRATIC
IF
FAIRBANKS.

WASHINGTON, d, c., August IL
The Star saws: To democratic pOliu-
clans one of the most interesting feat
ures of Judge Parkers speech of aC-
ceptance was his announcement that
he would not be candidate for sec
ond term. That statement opens up
the next presidential candidacy cam
paign at once, it is held, and brings
Bryan again to the front.
Mr.. Bryan has served notice that i'm
mediately after the election, whatever
the outcome he will start his campaign
for reorganization of Democratic party
along the radical lines which he sketch
ed in his editorial In his newspaper i'm
mediately after the nomination Of
judge Parker.
The presidential field for 1908 is now
open, as result of Judge Parker's alb
negation of further honors at the hands
of his party, and whether he is elected
or not irrespective candidates will begin
to lay their wires If he leads his party
to defeat Will not Bryan be encouraged
in his efforts at reorganization" poll
ticians are asking, and will he not have
ground of compls 1T against the con-
! servatives?
There were two figures in the St.
Louis convention, Judge Parker and
William ]. Bryan and both came out
with prestige in their respective fields.
If Judge Parker is eclipsed against his
will in November, or if he remains in
the public eye, only to be eclipsed vo-
UNFAIRLY four years hence, the politi-
clans will be looking for Bryan to again
forge to the front
rTbo ooreo,,yro tive o1o,,o,A +,o =
mocracy is to have its full fling within
the next three months; the platform is
not offensive to them, their candidate
is conservative and mild as possible,
and they have a chance now to see
what conservatism along democratic
lines can do against conservative along
republican lines.
Many Democrats think that Bryan has
in view the marshaling and organizing
of all the socialistic elements of the
