BOOST FOR BRYAN
Will Be Inaygurated on His
Landing in Gotham.
OPENS THIRD CAMPAIGN
Many Thousands Will Crowd Madison
Square Garden to Take Part in
Great Public Homecoming
Welcome.

A New York special says: The
home coming Of W. J. Bryan, after
tour around the world, promises to
inaugurate the opening of the Com.
moner's" third campaign for the
presidency.
The great popular reception to- the
Nebraskan will be held at Madison
Square Garden under the auspices Of
the Commercial Ira Gelers' Antitrust
League. Mayor Tom L. Johnson Of
Cleveland will preside at the recep-
ton, and Mr.. Bryan is expected to
make two hours speech and to ad-
dress one or more open-air meetings
in Madison Square. The Madison
reception will be but the beginning
of a series of similar affairs on a
smaller scale, which will end with
big public meeting Of welcome, when
Mr.. Bryan reaches his home in Lin
coin, Neb.
On the day after the Madison
Square Garden reception, Mr.. Bryan
will leave for New Haven in company
with large delegation Of Connecticut
supporters. In New Haven he will be
the guest OF New Haven Democratic
Club and will deliver an address Ii
the open air. An interesting feature
of his visit there will be a confer
ence of leading democrats from New
England, including candidates for gov
ernor, mayors of cities, democratic
state committeeman and the New Eng
land democratic national COM
mittee. This conference, it.: is an.
nounced, is for the purpose Of agree
ing on a common basis for campaigns
Of, this year and of two years hence.
From New Haven, Mr.. Bryan will go
to Bridgeport, where he will deliver
! an address in the evening and on the
following day he will address a meet
ing at Jersey city. On Saturday night
he will be the guest Of active news
paper men who cover political assign
ments for their papers.
While the reception to Mr.. Bryan
/ will be the most remarkable popular
demonstration to plain American cit
izen DYER seen in the country, and
while New York City will be crowded
with more visitors than at any one
time in its history probably, no diff
Guilty is apprehended by the managers
of the entertainment in caring for the
throngs of strangers. OF course, ey-
erybody will not be able to hear Mr..
Bryan's speech in Madison Square
Garden, but every visitor will be able
to gee him during the parade in the
afternoon and at night in Madison
Square Park.
Mr.. Bryan will land at the Bat
terry at o'clock in the afternoon,
where he will be welcomed by as
many people who can crowd into Bat
terry Park and the streets in the vicin-
ity. A sufficient force of police will
be on hand to preserve order there
and along the entire route of march.
Mr.. Bryan will ride in an open car
riage with Governor Folk Of Missouri,
and probably Acting Mayor McGowaa.
An escort of one Of the city troops
will be provided, and it Is optional
with visiting delegations to follow on
horseback or in carriages.
Simplicity is to dominate every
thing about the reception. at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Bryan, and the process
sion up Broadway will be without mu-
sic or other accessories of garish ma
ture AS Mr.. Bryan is to be well
coined merely as distinguished
American in private life, who has at
tracted worldwide attention as one Of
the greatest men this country has pro-
duced, the desire Is to avoid the trap
pings of pclitical demonstration.
