BRYAN IS AT WORK
ON REORGANIZATION
Calls Upon Friends to Meet Him in
Washington-Date Is Not
Yet Named.

A conference OF prominent Democrats
or the Bryan stripe viii probably be
held during the coming winter 10 de-
eide upon plan for the rehabilitation
OF the apparently wrecked Democratic
party.
Mr- Bryan has written letters TO
number OF his friends suggesting such
a meeting.
That the Nebraskan would play az
important part IN the proposed reor-
ganization or the party has been the
opinion OF all unbiased observers or
things political since the rolling up OF
the overwhelming Roosevelt maioritfes
on November s. resulting IN the utter
TOut or the Parker and Davis forces,
but no one thought that the Nebraskan
would begin the work OF rebuilding the
demolished Democratic structure until
the defeated party mad time 10 get It's
breath.
This. however. is what ne has done.
The votes were hardly counted before
Bryan began casting around for the
future. and at present he IS busy with
schemes 10 lead the Democrats in 1903
TO those influential ones OF the party
whom he believes 10 be Ia sympathy
with MS doctrines Bryan has written
letters suggesting a meeting or the
faithful for the discussion OF the future
Of the Democratic party.
These letters have gone 10 such men
as James X. Jones. Gum Shoe BIZ
Stone. Judge Parker, Or. Girdner. OF
New York, and Woodson. The letters
were written IN delicate terms. most OF
them being personal letters regarding
the outcome OF the recent campaign.
In an almost ofr-hand manner Bryan
hints at the advisabIity OF an early
conference or the leaders or his party,
but the intent IS not 10 be disguised
Some OF those 70 whom these letters
have come are not over-enthusiastic,
ana none are willing al this early date
10 express an opinion upon the merits
or Mr. Bryan's scheme.

Although the score OF a football game
