Frank B. Kellogg, who Is conducting
the federal suit against the oil combine

figures concerning the developments Oh

several days before the information de-
sired could be produced In court. Kel-
logg intimated that further witnesses

to Await Developments in Repub.
lican Ranks.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The most i'm
portant piece of political news of the
season reached Washington today to
the effect that William j. Bryan will,
" ilhin few weeks, issue a statement
announcing his candidacy for the dem
ocra.ic presidential nomination next
year and submitting an outline of the
platform upon which he will run ii his
party wants him to make the race.
This information was brought to the
capital by close friends of Mr.. Bryan,
who recently have conferred with him
regarding the approaching presiden-
till campaign. Another and more for
mai conference between Mr.. Bryan and
some of his most trusted advisers
from various sections of the country
for the purpose of deciding upon de-
tails respecting the course to be pur-i
sued by the Nebfaskan originally was
scheduled for the 18th of the present
month. For some reason, however,
this conference has been postponed.
But it is stated that Mr.. Bryan's state
ment will be issued early in October,
and that it will supply material from
which democratic calculations and
maneuvers will be constructed thru
out the period ending with the nation
al convention that is to name the pres
idential ticket.
Mr. Bryan, it is stated upon high
authority, will tell the members of his
party that he would rather not again
be a candidate for the presidency, but
that in view OF the fact that there
seems to be widespread demand that
he be the democratic standard bearer
he will accept the nomination IT 1t be
deemed best to uUe it to him on the
terms he lays down. He will be more
or less specific as to these terms.
