He Does Not Consider Himself an

nings Bryan, in an interview last
night, put himself in the position OF
being willing to lead his party, as dis
| tinguished from being a receptive OF
| active candidate for the democratic
nomination. He puts 1t this way:

Mr.. Bryan says this is the way he
explained himself at the meeting at
Lafayette, Ind, a few nights ago, at
which time much found its way into
print because Thomas Taggart, ma
tional chairman of the party, was not
present. 1t developed, however that
Mr. Taggart's cancelling the engage
ment was necessary and not. as was
suggested, because he did not care to
meet Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan last night did not care to
discuss politics at any great extent.
beyond declaring that the chances for
the democratic partys success next
year are good and rapidly getting
better.

that nothing could be dedueed from
the outcome.
