SAYS BRYAN WILL Be
NEXT DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE
ALBUQUERQUE MAN THINKS
THE JOE Is CINCHED
Sentiment in Washington Turn

New Mexicoi The Financial
Situation.

r. w. ID. Bryan. of Albuquerque, re.
turned home yesterday morning from
a visit of several weeks in eastern ci-
ties. much Of which time he has spent
in Washington as the guest of his
brother. who is one of the editors or
the Washington Post. Mr.. Bryan re-
turns with the conviction that William
Jennings Bryan. who by the way, il
not a relative of the Albuquerque man,
although both are democrats, is thu
inevitable next candidate of the dems
cratic party for the presidency.
"Of course circumstances always
can arise to disturb any condition. :
said Mr.. Bryan yesterday. but all OF
the indications to be had now poin4
directly to the Nebraskan as the mex,
leader of his party. Mr.. Bryan's
friends have long since become as
sured of his nomination and his enc
mics now admit that unless some cone
ditions not now apparent appear, he
will be the successful man in the con-
vention.
II do not find a gerat many people
who are disposed to lay the present
money stringency at the door of Pres,-
lem Roosevelt. There are, of course
the class who would be certain to
blame the president for n unfavo-
rsble condition, but they are not say
ing much right now. | do not believe
President Roosevelt intended or in,
tends to be a candidate for a renomi-
nation. He has proven himself fully
the equal of the politicians who at
the beginning were wont to smile at
his lack of political ability and ex-
perience. But the president has
proven himself a master politician
and the politicians do not smile any
more.
Conditions in Washington seem to
be very favorable to statehood. Dele
gate Andrews assured me of his con-
fdent belief that the statehood bill
introduced by him would be passed
at this session. While | do not know
as to this. almost every one with
whom | talked seemed to be favorable
to statehood for New Mexico right
away and there has undoubtedly been
a great change of sentiment In our
favor. Theer are still a great many
people, however, who do not know
