CHICAGO BRYAN LEAGUE
Organized Officially With Robert f.
Burke Leader of the County Democ-
racy-A Five Thousand Membership.

In Chicago, ILL.,, On Saturday, Novem-
Der e, the campaign for the nomination
of William J. Bryan for the presidency
by the Democratic National Convention
was officially opened. There was great
enthusiasm. The County Democracy
Bryan League, fully of6cered and
equipped, and with Robert E. Burke as
its leader, was formally organized as the
| first step.
The strongest sort of Bryan resolu-
ton was adopted by the new body, which
was organized because the constitution
of the County Democracy prohibits the
endorsement of candidates prior to
nominating conventions. Mr.. Burke will
not reserve all of the credit for the in
cipiency and boosting of the Bryan
movement in Chicago to himself. He
extends the olive branch to the Jefferson
Club the Iroquois Club and to any other
Democratic organization which wishes to
get in on the ground floor. To this end
the Bryan League proposes conference
committee, to be composed of represen-
tatives of all organizations which are
earnestly in favor of the nomination
and election of William ]. Bryan"
"Mr. Bryan says that he is in the
hands of the people, and we are the peo-
ple,' said Mr.. Burke, following large
and enthusiastic gathering at the County
Democracy clubrooms in the afternoon.
"All that we want is to elect Bryan
president. This is the first club in the
country to formally indorse him since
his statement was issued. This is also
the oldest Democratic club west of the
Alleghenies, and it is fit and proper that
we should take these first steps,
The resolutions adopted, after reciting
the impossibility of the County Democ-
racy as an institution indorsing a CAN
didate and declaring that the time has
arrived for Democrats to declare them
selves on presidential preferences, says:
Resolved, That an organization be
formed Immediately for the purpose OF
aiding the leader of all leaders, the
foremost Democrat of the age, Will am
Jennings Bryan, to secure the Demo
cratic nomination, and also use all hon
orable means to elect him President of
the United States"
The plan of organization will be for
mulated by committee of ten, one from
each of the congressional districts in
Cook county. A committee on organiza-
ton to prepare for the Democratic pri-
maries by primary districts will Le COM
posed of twenty-five from each con-
gressional district.
"We will have 5000 members before
the end of the week." said Mr.. Burke.
This is on the square for Eryan, and
we want him to win. Roger Sullivan is
not involved in this anywhere. This Is
purely for Bryan, and vii. be tie teal
thing when the fight thickens.

Cincinnati. April 10.-Congressman

distinctly his oolors In the controversy
as between Secretary OF War w. II.

He issued a statement In which he
said: Since II has been announced
that Secretary OF War Taft has be-

that the sole question involved Is
whether or not tho Republicans OF
Ohio will indorse lin for the presi-
donoy. Personally. and speaking only
for myself am for Taft for presi'

When Mr. Longworth was informed
that despite the presidents statements
that he will under no circumstances
be candidate for third term, there
are still some who express the opinion
that the president may change his
mind. he said:

the president has said on that subject.

HOW LAST NIGHTS
AUDIENCE REGARDED
FORAKER'S SPEECH
Words Were Read Many
Different Ways-Proud
of His Record.

When Senator Foraker at the Audi,
torium last night deylated from the
given line of talk that the advance
copies OF his speech foreoasted. he did
30 only to go more eiaborately into
the Brownsville affair 10 elaborate
more fully upon the Bllxins and Hep
burn laws In his preliminary remarks,
He not infrequently abandoned tho
written copy as a guide. but his words
did not digress In the main from its
subject matter.
In speaking Of the Brownsville affair
Senator Foraker brought the audience
TO the highest pitch OF enthusiasm
when he said that he would ask no bet
ter fate than TO have engraved upon
his tombstone the story OF his defense
OF the soldiers who we're discharged
without honor by President Roosevelt
and with no chance Of hearing.
He digressed briefly to say that no
senator has a better record than him.

said that no boss ever had or ever
would control him. said he was proud
that he had opposed the statehood
bill and that he had never held office
only by the consent OF the popular
will.
The speech OF Senator Foraker was
varlously regarded. Many people be-
feyed that the senator was deliberate
iy critioising the administration. 9th
ers deduced from his remarks that he
was grilling the president only upon
those points of contention In which
the criticism has reverted mainly to
himself. Taken as whole the speech
was defensive and was an attempt TO
controvert stories handled by the press
in which Foraker has been held up as
n consDiratOr against the president
and close friend Of the trusts.
