From the club he was escorted by former Senator James Smith, Jr.. and other prominent Democrats. to Newark, where he addressed an audience of 10000 In Military Park and afterward held an informaT reception. shaking hands with hundreds who crowded around the speaker Hailed with cheers as he drove to the railroad station.

 Roosevelt as Candidate.
 On his way from Bridgeport, Mfr. Bryan was asked what he thought about the argument of certain Repub- lieans that President Roosevelt will be the next logical Republican candidate for President. Mfr. Bryan said that if 1t were true as many Republicans had .-N- l. s.

There would then be no necessity of giving Prest- dent Roosevelt what would be regarded by many as practically third term. With sucn an easy victory for the Re- pubiicans ahead why, he asked. should not somebody else be given a chance?
 When asked what he thought or the criticism by Democrats of his Idea of federal ownerships of raiifoads. Mfr :. Bryan said that he had never advocated anything that was not opposed in some quarters He was told that some of the Southern Democrats seemed alarmed lest the Jim Crow cars should be elim- mated by the adoption of his ideas Of federal ownership.
 MT. Bryan in reply to this said that if the various States owned the lines within their borders the local laws would continue to be enforced. He was asked if he meant the negroes and whites would be separated If the State had a Jim Crow law to which he re- piled that the State laws would nat urally hold good on local lines. He did not care at this time to discuss the details of how the plan would af- feet the carriages of whites and ne- groes on through lines under federal control. He had noticed that one citi- zen who did not give his name was very much worked up about the pos sibie aboiishment of the Jim Crow cars, but he never attempted to answer the arguments of men who did not give their names and that he hoped to talk in various parts Of the country and deal with the subject more com pletely than he could in conversation.
