mate result. 1 might illustrate In this
way: II you ask me I'm February what
sort OF weather we will have I cannot say
| whether II will be snow storm or sun
shine, but can say that In a few months
we will have summer. No one can say
what expediencies Russia will pass through
in the next few years. but II is possible TO
say that It is going to have constitu-
| tional form OF government"

what is your impression of your Eu-
ropean tripT'
I'VE went with the belief that It would
be educational and found II even more in
| structive than we had expected. The home
coming was a great pleasure. qs
MRS. Bryan and were highly gratified
| to meet our Nebraska friends who came
so far to greet us. They are the veterans
| with whom 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 courage, more
true democracy and more genuine patriots
In the same number of men than you can
md in that gallant band which crossed
half the continent to make our home
coming a glad one. TIaey 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 Sui
livan.
You were In Germany, Mr.. Bryan. Did
you look into the attitude OF that country
toward the United States as regards
/ tariff7
That question would drive me into the
tariff controversy. The tariff is too big
question to settle in half a dozen sentences
and have no time for more extended
| treatment"
