m. BRYAN WOULD RUN AGAIN.


 Democratic standard bearer again, neIt year. depends upon two contin' Gencies; the extent of his desire for tle nomination, and the disposition of che Democratic party toward him. The hrst of these considerations is to bc disposed of at dinner arranged for she distinguished Nebraskan in his homo city, this fall Willis !. Abbott who has enjoyed Mr. Bryan's conf desce for many years, says he will ac. espt n third nomination. Indications auitiply to support this belief
 In 1904, Bryan did not want the Domination, because he knew that Roosevelt. with \ united Republican party beaind him, was invincible. And his party was equally willing to cx. psrimcnt with a conservative candi. .dAte. But the situation has undergone sadical change. There is a possibility 1Aat the Republicans will nominate . ss@paratively weak man. Roosevelt g pspslarity is greater than ever, and the policies he stands for arc strong with eAs people. But his party is not in Harmonious mood. And hundreds of %Asusands of Republicans would pre-. 4r Bryan to an anti Roosevelt Repub. Iesn.
 So far as the Democratic party 's desire for another trial with Bryan is esecerned, the only genuine opposition shat has developed has come from the sputh, which may be, depended upon Hs choose Democratic electors, what. Sves ticket is named. John Temple 0esves says Roosevelt could carry Georgia. but another Republican could ose. MT. Taft would be the strongest - tho south. as in the north, but Taft Oin not be named, if the iutercsts, OAish have been % potent in Repub. 6san councils in tho past, have any. SAisg to say about it.
 Perhaps the strongest argument for ! 0syan is tho demonstrated weakness - others who have been suggested. TAe talk of Senator Daniel, Senator Cslberson, or Judson Harmon, has had - e6ect, except to prove that Bryan's came is tho only ono to conjure with. Henry watterson proposes Governor Johnson of Minnesota, but the sug. eestion has aroused no enthusiasm. Judge Gray of Delaware has met the sa"e fate. There is only one name on sAe Democratic roll of possibilities tAat is illuminated with the cfYulgenre ~f national popularity, at all compar. able to Bryan's, and that is Folk of Missouri.
 To judge from his recent public ut. serances, Bryan is getting his house in order for 1908. In tho Common.r, shis week. hc elaborates tho interview tn which no indicated the outlines of ehc Democratic platform. He says:
 "As tho campaign approaches 1t be. comes more and more evident that of ahe economic questions three the trust question, the tarih question, and the railroad question will share public at. sention, and these three really present the same issue between the general public and the privileged class. Shall the government be administered in the interest of the whole people or in tho interest of fowl This is the issue presented by the trust question, the tariff question and the railroad aues. tion."
 All this is reasonably definite. Tho weakness of MT. Bryan, however, lies not so much In tho platform upon which he is likely to stand as in public distrust of tho issues ho gas raised fin the past. He may Do justified in think. ing that the people are ready to forgive
