ment of certain republicans that President
Roosevelt will be the next logical republi

said that If 1t were true. many republi
cans had declared. that he had completely
destroyed the democratic party, there ought
TO be dozens of able republicans who would
be available as a candidate, as it would ap-
pear that almost any republican could win
with the democratic party wiped out.
There would then be no necessity of CIV
ing President Roosevelt what would be re-
garded by many practically third term.
With such an easy victory for the republi-
cans ahead, why, he asked, should not
somebody else be given a chance?
When asked what he thought of the criti-
cism by democrats of his idea of federal
ownership of railroads, Mr.. Bryan said that
he had never advocated anything that was
not opposed in some quarters. He was told
that some of the southern democrats SEEM
ed alarmed lest the Jim Crow cars
should be eliminated by the adoption of his
Local Laws and Railways
Mr. 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
that negroes and whites would be separated
If the state had Jim Crow law, to which
he replied that the state laws would natu-
rally hold good on local lines He did not
