SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. &c, 1907.

Mr., WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN IL 10
bethe presidential candidate of the dem
ocratic party in 1908, judging from
the sentiment at tho banquet rendered
him last night by the democratic State
committee at the Quincy House in Bos-
Ton. and he will undoubtedly be Endorsed
bv the Massachusetts, democracy. In
an hour speech Mr.. Bryan made no ref
erence to his proposed nomination, and
a. he neither accepted nor rejected
the proposition, there is every reason to
belieye that he intends to accept It, IN
his speech Mr.. Bryan declared that the
democratic party has been vindicated'
that the republican party has stolen it's
platform from the democrats, aud stated
that in case Mr. Roosevelt does not run
agaln the success OF the democratic can
didate il assured. The decisive state
,nents made at this gathering of 800 dem
ocrais from various parts OF New Eng
land aro considered in Boston to be
the opening gun in the campaign oil
1903. The Bryan boom was launched
by George Fred Williams OF Ded'
ham, tho NebraskRn's longtime friend.
MFR. Bryan vas given q great demon
stration at the banquet. Taking up the
story that he Was the author Of the dem
orrato platform Of 1896, Mr, Bryan de-
elared that BIO wrote but little OF that
platform and deserved little Of the credit
dor IT, but that he had more 10 do with
the platform Of 1900. 81 think" as
serted Mr, Bryan, "that If We had had a
gOte unpnrchastd and unintimidated IN
1896 | would have been elected by an
Overwhelming majority" He went on;
I shall nc: discuss the amount OF fraud
that was psrpetrsted in 1896, but we
had against US the largest corporation fund
that was ever used 10 a campaign. "
Ton years sgo they called our ideas in
