 Be Nominated.
 New York, Sept 4.-William J. Bry- an let it be known that he is to be a candidate for the presidential nomina- tion in the Democratic convention next year, and his spokesman said that there would be practically no opposi- tion to the Nebraskan. The announce ment was made through Harry W. Walker of the New York Progressive league, an anti-Hearst organization. and may be regarded as official.

It was Walker who arranged Bryan's Madison Square Gar den meeting last year when the west ern statesman returned from Europe, and when there was question of who should preside and what men should be on the reception committee Bryan frankly said that all arrangements were in the hands of Walker
 For six months past Walker, who is secretary to the aqueduct commission has been in several states in the inter est of Bryan and recently spent sev eral days with the Nebraskan.
 ''The situation has developed suffi ciently," says Walker in a prepared statement given out, ito make safe these predictions: Former Governor David R. Francis of Missouri will be chairman of the Democratic national convention, Augustus Thomas of New York will present MT. Bryan's name to the convention, and Mir Bryan will be nominated by exclamation. Timo- thy D. Sullivan of New York will be chairman of the Democratic national

Maine field force, have now commenced
work, in earnest. which has thus far

The squad which was sent TO the
National Home at TOgus t" look over
the infested district on the reservatio
rs well rs to scout through the xHJoin-
ing town of Chelsea and the approach
es to that town, are getting nearly
through the work, and aside from tl1a
eight egg clusters which were found on
the opening day of the hunt. have
found nothing further which would in
dictate the presence Of the moths. The
roads leading to Augusta and Randolph
have been carefully gone over. as we'll
as the town itself and the hunt has
been a systematic one. The fact that
no further egg clusters have been found
is not satisfactory proof that none exist
in the localities covered, and the terri
