Mr.. Bryan said that although he admitted
that President Roosevelt had achieved

BRYAN WANTS THE BEST MAN
For DemOcracyS Candidate. So Long as He
shies at Wall Street

LINCOLN, Neb.. April ll.-Mr. Bryan. in
to-morrow's CommoReT commenting upon a
recent suggestion Of The Sun that South
ern Democrat be nominated in 1908, will say:
By all means let the Southern Statesman
be considered. Let them stand side by side
with their Northern brethren and let the
choice fall upon the man who, no matter
" here he lives. best represents the aspirations
of the party and best reflects the desires Of
Democratic voters
No candidate should be urged merely
because he comes from the North or from the
South or from the East or from the West
Let the Southern candidates be presented on
their merits: Let them be brought forward
az champions OF Democratic ideas and they
will hnd the North ready to listen.
Papers like THE SuN have overworked the
conservatism OF the South. The recent vic
tories OF Smith In Georgia and Campbell in
Texas show that the masses OF the South
are no more willing to be ridden by the cor
poratiOns than are the masses OF the North.
There are many Democrats in the South
who would poll the full Democratic strength
OF the North. Democratic platforms should
be made and Democratic candidates should
be selected -wsW view TO siren gthening
the pGrtKs par,a'nRN Al over the country.

London Newspaper Thus GharacIeriLes the

Special Gable Despatch TO THB SUS.
LONDON. April 1.-THE Ereping STANDARD

scribed ss fiapdoOdle. Delmas was either
the greater sinner OF the greater artist.
The description depends on ones point Of
view. They talked to the jury as though
they possessed a few raw emotions and no
brains whatsoever. Each flung his flowers
Of rhetoric right and left hour after hour
and wandered thunderousIy in a field Of
verbiaRe.'
After remarking that Jerome, az COM
pared with Delmas, was almost tolerable,
but occasionally no less fanoiful and rhe-
torical than his opponent, the STANDARD
proceeds:
Forensic oratory Of such a kind is in
conceivable in an English court. IL would
disgust Judge and jury alike and il un-
mercifully allowed to run it's weedy end
would provoke bitter remonstrance even
from the prisoner at the bar. But what we
boggle az is how jury Of practical and ex
perienced men can possibly be expected to
give ear to such empty and windy rhetoric

ROMEO AND JULIET
The Dixon Company Presented the
Famous Play at the Gale Thea
tire Saturday Evening.

the DIXON company, which asSayea
to present Romeo and Juliet at The
Gale Saturday evening, made a sorry
attempt at the Shakesperian pro-
duclion. and it is wondered why
people with so little conception of the
play would attempt its presentation.
They could not have tackled any,
thing so remote to their capabilities
and it was really painful to sit out
the performance.
Miss LeFebvre assumed to portray
the character of Juliet, in which she
lacked two things, the ability to read
the lines understandingly and a
personality that was befitting the
beautiful character, still at times
she appeared to good advantage.
That is more, however. than can re
said for the rest Of the company.
Mr.. Peter Pam attempted the role
of Romeo. Attemted-that is as near
as he eve got to it. MIR. Peter Pann's
appearance was NJ more in harmony
with anything approaching tile ideal
Romeo than if he had tried to, play
Juliet and be simply walked through
the part, and he was a poor walker,
too. He failed, seemingly, to grasp
the reading OF the lines with any
thing like intelligence. The rest of
the company was worse than the
two .eading characters. During the
dlel Scene when two of the alleged
We're trying to kill each other
Off, one of them dropped his sword
and it fell down in the orchestra and
the musicians had to jump sideM Us
to avoid being stabbed. Another
tiule after n of the actors had
fallen dead the curtain descended and
be discovered that his feet had been
left outside. 1t was just such little
things as these to make the per-
for!uance a farce.
The company can be complimented
in one way, however, and that was
the scene settings which they car
ried. and these were veIy pretty in
deed, making up in-part for the bad
acting.
