VIII Not Assume to Decide Question

Else Is Nominated He viii Not Be
Disgruntled.
Lincoln. Neb.. Nov Is. William J.
Bryan will accept the Democratic
nomination for president in 1908, but
he viii neither ask nor make a fight
for H. lie says that for a year or more
he has been pressed TO answer the
question "Will you accept a nomina.
tom" a..d he believes the public is
entitled to an answer and 10 know the
position he occupies. The question that
ought TO weigh most. he says. Is
whether his nomination Will strength
tho nomination of some one else. Not
only win he not seek or ask for the
nomination. bat he Will not assume to
decide the question Of availability,
and If the prize falls to another he
will neither be disappointed nor dis
Wuntled. At the same time. he denies
that he has waited this long in a desire
to see whom the Republicans are likely
10 nominate. or 10 ascertain the
chances Of Victory
Mr Bryan says: Now that the cleo
ton OF 1907 is past and plans are be-
Ing made for next years campaign,
Nr. Bryan feels that a statement IS
due To the public Those who prefer
another candidate are entitled TO
know his position. and those who favor
his nomination have a right to de
mand an answer 10 the question so
often put. VIII you accept a nomna
ticn? His refusal t. answer the ques
ton has led to the circulation OF many
false reports. and unfrlendly newspa.
pers have taken advantage of his ST.
lcnce to misrepresent his attitude
"The Republicans must nominate
either a reformer. stand-patter or
oae whose position on public questions
Is unknown. and the course Of the
Democratic party should be the same,
no matter which element controls the
Republican convention. The Demo
cratic party must make the fight for
what II believes. While II may take
ADVANTAGE OF Republican mistakes. II
must depend upon its own merits for
success and not upon the error of its
opponents.
NO one can estimate the chances OF
the party IN the next campaign with
sufficient accuracy to make his candi'
dacy dependent upon the outlook
While Democrats have reason to be
encouraged by the fact that the Dem
ocratic principles have grown In popu
laritv and that Democratic policies ars
now praised by many who denounced
them n few years ago. and while fur.
Their encouragement IS 10 be derived
from the fact that the Democratic
marty is more united than II has been
for many years. and the Republican
party more divided. still the action OF
the Democratic party cannot be made
dependent upon the prospect Of sue
cess. The prospects now seem excel
leut. hut a Democratic national con
yention will be held. a platform adopt.
