BRYAN AND HEARST
NEWSPAPER OWNER NOT
FAVORABLE TO NEBRASKAN
Thinks He Should Return Favors
Of Past-Prospects With
in Democratic
Ranks.

NEW YORK, July 10-The Sun
says: Representative w. Bourke
Cochran has returned from visit to
Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln. Mr., Cochran
said that he did not take the trip to
Nebraska for the sole purpose of see
ing Mr.. Bryan, but that while in tha
state he had long talk with the Me-
braskan.
Il do not know" said Mr. Cochran,
'if Mr.. Bryan is candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination
next year. In our talk we didu't dis
cuss that matter as much as we did
certain principles which are under dis
cussion for the next Democratic pres
idential platform. OF course, IL the sit
uation develops stronger MAJ than
Mr.. Bryan he will undoubtedly come
to the front Everything is upset In
most parts of the country and thcie
is a very grave feeling that criticisms
and attacks on great public service
corporations may extend to great
manufacturing concerns. Ali these
matters should be explained in the
Democratic national platform. 1t is
a little early to talk about such mat
ters. | found Mr.. Bryan in excellent
health and he is keeping his eye on
the situation all over the country
The statement of Norman e. Mack
Democratic national committeeman
for the state, that Richard Croker is
to return to this country i'll ticie te
vote for Mr.. Bryan for president. anc
that Mr.. Mack hoped that the Bryan
folks and the Hearst people could gel
together, was yariously commented
upon by Democrats hereabouts. I
was stated that there had been cool
ness between Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Hearst since the Democratic Nationa
convention of 1904, but that the differ
ences had been patched up. None o
Mr. Hearst's friends were ready tt
speak for him on this matter, but /
was learned that there is still yer.
pronounced feeling on the part OF tn
Hearst people against Mr.. Bryan, AM
:he reason is given thus: Mr.. Hears
in 1896 and 1900, personally AM
through his newspapers, supported MI
Bryan for the presidency.
In 1904 Mr.. Bryan was not candl
date for the presidency, while MI
Hearst was, and Mr.. Hearst felt tina
he should have Mr.. Bryan's supper
and the support of Mr.. Bryans friend
in the Democratic National conven
ton at st. Louis. Instead OF reqult1n
the political loyalty of Mr.. Hearst /
the two campaigns, Mr.. Bryan wer
upon the platform and seconded tn
! n nomination of former U. S. Senate
! Francis NJ Cockrell of Missouri, VIII
had no chance of being nominated
Since then there has been i'll feelin
among the Hearst people against M
: Bryan. This was demonstrated pull
licly at the Madison Square Garde
! meeting in August last on Mr.. Bryan
y return from Europe, where he spoR
for the government ownership of raj
roads On that evening Mr.. Hearst
, friends got up counter demonstri
ton for Hearst. According to M
= Hearst's friends, the alleged diffe
ences between Mr.. Bryan and M
Hearst have not been healed.
Hearst people said that Mr.. Hear
and Mr.. Hearst's friends would do e.
erything possible to defeat Mr. Brya
for the nomination next year, and TIL
if they accomplished their purpose M
Hearst would not run for President
the candidate of the National Indepel
dence league. If, on the contrary, the
were unable to defeat Mr.. Bryan fl
the nomination, Mr.. Hearst would ce
tainly run as the leagues candidat
thus putting two Democratic cand
dates in the field. In that event,
was added, almost any Republics
candidate could be elected.
