: What is your impression of your Eu-
ropean trip?"
I'VE went with the belief that it would be
structfve than we had expected. Our home
coming was a great pleasure. however.
Mrs. Bryan and I were highly gratified to
meet our Nebraska; friends who came so
with whom I have passed through many
political battles. They took me, a young
man, and elected me to Congress. They
have stood by me in all the conflicts for
sixteen years. and I don't believe you can
find anywhere on earth more moral cour-
age, more true democracy and more gen.
uine patriotism in the same number Of men
than you can find in that gallant band
which crossed half the continent to make
our homecoming glad one.
There are just ia types Of manly beauty
and in that crowd there was one man who
was representative of each type"
Mr. Bryan declined to talk of Roger Sulli-
van.
''You were in Germany, Mr. Bryan. Did
you look into the attitude Of that country
toward the United States as regards
tariff"
That question would drive me into the
tariff controversy. The tariff Is too big q
question to settle in half dozen sentences
and I have not time for more extended
treatment"
