Fafrview.
CFrom a Stan Correspondent.l }

WASHINGTON June 7.-(Special Tele-
gram )-William Jennings Bryan was in
Washington for a short time today. and
after seeing one or two trusted friends, ex-
Senator J. X. Jones and Willis ]. Abbott
manager of the Bryan free press bureau,
left with Mrs. Bryan and Miss Grace
Bryan, who have been guests since yester-
day of Mr.. and Mrs. Cotter T. Bride. for
their home in Lincoln. Miss Bryan has
been attending school at Hollins. Va, and
with commencement over Joined her father
and mother in this city.
Mr.. Bryan would not admit that tariff
reform was the most important subject be-
fore the people at this time, but thought
the trinity of issues, trust tariff and rail-
road questions, should demand equal at
tention, not only at the hands OF the demo-
cratic national convention. but from the
people as well. Mr.. Bryan said he was not
accurately quoted in New York in his
speech made there recently when he was
made to say that there were other ques-
tions more important than tariff. Mr..
Bryan said today that what he had said
on that occasion was That three ques-
tions trusts, tariff and control OF rail-
roads, were of more Importance than any
others now before the American people"
Mr.. Bryan expressed hopeful view con-
cerning the democratic outlook, basing It
on the fact that the republicans are d.
vided and democratic policies, according to
his point of view. are becoming better un-
derstood.
Mr.. Bryan, while looking in excellent
health, was in extremely bad voice when
seen today due to his recent speech-mak-
ing He expressed the hope, however, that
short rest at Fairview would give his
vocal organs their usual health.
