MR.. BRYAN's DEOLARATION.

The declaration of Mr.. Bryan
that he will Gccept the Democratic
nomination fCr president, if offered
him, is tantamount to his saying
that he wants it. He has made ex-
tensive journeys, covering the en-
tire Union, in the past year, and
has pretty we'll learned the senti-
ment of the party. Based on that
knowledge comes his declaration
willingness to again bear the stand
ard. This in our judgement, set
ties that matter, for 1t cannot be
denied, whether wise or otherwise,
that he is the choice of a greater
proportion of members of the party
than any other man who has been
suggested or who will be proposed
betM cen now and nominating time.
AS we have often said for reasons
not now necessary to repeat, Mr..
Bryan is not our choice for presi-
Dental candidate, but, believing
that his nomination is as certain as
any future event can be, we see no
good to come from any futher efforts
towards selecting another. We
had all better hunt up those things
about which we agree aud present
solid front, than tolparade quest
ions which provoke discoTd and i'll
will.
No matter whether or not. his
friends refused to a large extent to
support Judge Parker inl several of
the states in 1904. This has been
repeatedly charged, notably as to
Missouri, but that is thing of the
past, and the effort should now be
to induce those who do not Ike
many Of his pronouncements to
take him on account of those things
With which they do agree.
He has warm and enthusiastic |
supporters in every state of the
Union, and in the present condition !

NJ. ALBERT is REPUDIATED
DETERMINE TO
CONTINUE THE STRUGGLE.
Apostle" Who Gave Them CIemen.
ceau's Message, Has No AIterna-
tive But to Surrender. J.

Argelliers, France, Juno 26.-Mar-
celin Albert, the leader of the wine
growers movement, appears to have
suffered a considerable diminution in
influence. His speech Tuesday after
noon before big meeting of citizens,
in which he described his interview
with Premier Clemenceau at Paris on
Sunday, sounded curiously like a de-
fense. Although he was greeted by
cheers from some 5000 people, he
frequently was interrupted. It
The apostle" addressed his follow
ers from the roof of house. He re-
lated in detail the incidents of his trip
to Paris and his reception by the pre-
mier, who received him as a friend
and pressed upon him hundred
francs to pay his passage back.
Albert Indignantly denied that he
M. Clemenceau gave him this mes
sage:
Go back and assemble the fed
Grated committees and tell them that
I will not disarm until they abandon
their illegal attitude"
After reflection, Albert said, he un-
dertook the mission and would now
leave it to the delegates of the fed
Grated committees to decide what
course should be taken. If they were
for continuing the movement he would
go to Montpelier and surrender.
After a stormy discussion lasting
more than, two hours, during which
Albert was savagely attacked, the del
egates decided to continue the. strug-
gle with undated vigor. 1t was
further decided to draw up a state
ment setting forth the minimum de-
mands.
Calm now prevails throughout this
region, everything going on practical
ly as usual. NJ Albert's declaration
and the decision of the delegates were
variously commented upon, but it Is
generally agreed that the apostle"
has no alternative now but to sur
render as soon as possible.

Gus Trouble Glowing Out of
Zelaya's Ambition.

Washington, June 26.-The posi-
bility of serious trouble in Central
America, growing out of the disturbed
conditions existing there incidental tc
the alleged ambition of President
Zelaya, of Nicaragua, to form a union
of Central American states, has caused
the administration to dispatch the fine
new cruiser Milwaukee to that locality.
Orders for her to proceed forthwith
from the Mare Island navy yard, Cal
ifornia, went forward from the navy
department Tuesday.
The vessel is in command of Com
mander Charles A. Cove, and will go
to La Union, San Salvador. The
collier Saturn also has been directed
to proceed to La Union, and from this
vessel the Milwaukee and the gun
boat Yorktown, which is now at Aca-
waukee in Central American waters
is problematical and will in measure
depend upon the conditions that de-
yelop In that section of the world.
She goes ostensibly "for the protec-
ton of American interests" which are
threatened because of the situation
as it now exists. r-....
Z The .uzkR st. Louis, now on her
way to Brazilian port, is enroute to.
the Pacific coast and will arrive in
Central American waters in about
two months. 1t maybe that she will
relieve the Milwaukee in the event
that the administration decides to
have that vessel return north, and it
is deemed necessary to continue the
presence of two American vessels in
that section.
