BRYAN HAS new
FAD TO SPRING

New York, July 19.--At the sugges-
ton of William j. Bryan. says the
Herald advantage will be taken of the
reception which is to be given him on
his return from abroad, to give a prac-
teal illustration of the feasibility of
applying the publicity principle to the
collection Of campaign contributions.
In letter to William Hoge, presi-
dent Of the Commercial Travellers
antitrust league, Mr.. Bryan approved
the plans for the reception SO far as
they had been laid before him and
cautioned the managers to avoid all
factional disputes, that all factions
might have an equal chance. and $50
that it will not be our fault if every
thing is not harmonious"
Mr.. Bryan then spoke of the ques-
tion of raising money to defray the
cost of the reception, and made the
suggestion that popular subscription
involving the principle of publicity be
employed.
"A popular subscription, with the
publication of the names of all per-
sons giving IS or more" he wrote
would be a practical illustration OF
our belief in the publicity of campaign
contributions and would not only show
that it was not paid for with trust
money. but would set good example
for the campaign"
