here, denied that ne is backing w r.
Hearst for the Presidential nomination.
Mr.. Bryan said that ne thought some Of
his enemies had started the report in
an effort to injure Mr.. Hearst's chances
Mr.. Hearst is among those worthy TO
be mentioned he said. but I am in
Gorsing no particular candidate"
Mr.. Bryan addressed the Virginia Leg
islature yesterday, and announced again
that he does not aspire to the nominal
ton.
4 can therefore speak to you much
more freely, he said. than when
was suspected OF carrying around with
me a concealed weapon in the shape or
an inspiration Ny one hope. my one
ambition, during the years remaining to
me Is to make this Government so good
that to be citizen Of the United States
viii be a more glorious title than to be
a king elsewhere.
IF You 90 not believe that I speak as
a private citizen, can refer you to

WHAT HAS NEGRO
FOR EXHIBITION?
Editor Defends Action of
st. Louis Officials.
NOT IN FAVOR OF DISPLAY
Race Must Create Something Before
Element of Prejudice Will
Be Removed.
NOT IN FAVOR OF DISPLAY

In the current issue of Gurley Brewer s
indianapolis World" a paper for ne
groes, the policy of the officials OF the
st. Louis Exposition in refusing space
for an exhibit for negroes is defended.
The defense. however. is not based on
the same grounds as the supposed rea-
sons for the refuse' IF the commission
to allow the exhibit. The paper says:
There is a great deal being said about
a negro exhibit at the St. Louis EX-
position. Barring the reasons given by
the commissioners in refusing to per-
NIT the colored people to participate in
the celebration Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase. there are reasons which would
justify the negro in pot being too ag-
gressive in their demands.
When we ask TO be represented. the
presumption is that we have something
to represent.
we ask the negro to be candid. What
has he TO exhibit TO the nations OF the
world2 Comparatively nothing We viii
never have until the teachings OF Booker
T. Washington are accepted and put into
pratical execution.
I'VE must produce something. We
must be more largely represented in the
material affairs Of life. It is true that
the negro works. but he must create.
This latter element gives rise to world 5
fairs
III the negro had something TO exhibit
from the cotton mill. the quarry. and
the furnace the element OF prejudice
would disappear. and II would only be
a question of how much space the negro
could occupy on the exposition grounds "
