Bryan's discussion Of the Federal and state
ownership Of railroads would have in the
South, hs said.
-Mr. Bryan expressed the same view
before he went on his trip. and II was not
Unexpected by those who knew him best
that on his return he should state his OF
eervatlons during his travels. His honesty
snd fearlcssness in this regard in taking
ans Eeorle into his confidence instead OF
playing tho part Of a politician has already
strengthened him, az was demonstrated
in the ovation riven lin.
But Mr.. Bryan will not force the Federal
nj State control idea az an issue in the
next campaign. recognizing thpt the trust
question II the paramount issue. I do
not think he has any wish to force the
matter in tho next national platform II
tho Dcmcoratl Of the nation think 1t I'M
stss. or that the country II net rire for II,
or that IL would tend to hipder the fOht
TO wrest the Government iroIl the rrasp
Of special Tri' lie. G. Discussion of the
subject, howovc-, i'll not hurt, ard Mr..
Bryan's views will ret many votes for the
Democracy in the States where they are
most needed.
Il Lelieve that Col. Watterson is right when
he says that Mr.. Bryan's Madison Square
Garden speech insures him the nomination
for the Presidency and election to that
ONCE. Yet Col. Wattcrson does not con-
cur with Mr.. Bryan in his views concerning
the ownership Of the railroads"
The departure Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
their daughter Grace and the fourteen
home folks" in n special train OF five cars
yesterday afternoon was not attended by
any demonstration. In the morning Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan and Grace went TO the
Brooklyn home of Bird s. Coler in Mr..
Coler's automobile and stayed to luncheon.
Mr.. Rryan and the Brooklyn Borough
President must have talked politics or
automobiles real earnestly, for it was nearly
4 o'clock when the organs came lack to the
Victoria in the Coler machine.
Long before that the ~home folks"
had got everything packed and had dis
posed themselves about the har to awnit
the coming Of their chief. Az soon as Mr..
Bryan returned trunks, Rags and BOXES
marked Nv. J.. B." and pasted thickly with
labels OF strange hotels began to be brought
downstairs and loaded on a seagoing truck.
!. At AIS tho organs left the hotel in a car
rage for the Twenty-thir1 street ferry.
Mrs. Norman E. Mack, Mayor Dahlman Of
Omaha and Mayor Brown Of Lincoln rode
hACAl W NHC W.T. hONHSs "NN Ai0 u
accompanied them 70 the train. A cluster
OF roses had been put in Mrs. Bryan's COM
spartment by Mrs. Mack's direction.
All Of the home folks" were at the Penn
~sylvania station when Mr.. Bryan and his
party arrived. The same cars that they
had ridden in on their wav East were drawn
up ON the track for the accommodation Of
: the Nebraskans. There were three Pull
/. mans, a combination dining and smoking
car, and the boudoir car Sunset for the use
Z Of the Bryans and their close friends. Across
the length Of the first car the enthusiastic
Nebraskans had stretched the banner they
carried with them on their trip East, upon
< which was the legend, Welcoming Bryan
Home"
just before the train pulled out at 5:35
