Chain. candidates of the democratic and the pro- hibition parties, respectively, for the presidency of the United States, were In conference today for nearly an hour at Farview the home of MT. Bryan Hay ing been advised of his coming. N.r Bry- an came out on the front steps as the big automobile bearing his prohibitionist rival drove up, and extended hearty greeting
 "I heard that you were coming to beard me in my den," said Candidate Bryan. "and so I went and got shaved. You are just little too late"
 well" responded Candidate Chain, quickly, q shall enter the den just the same"
 He was ushered into the house in way that left no doubt of the heartiness or the welcome. The conversation turned from one subject to another, but dwelt mostly on TolstoI, the Russian sociologist, In whom both men are greatly interested. In the opinion of MT. Bryan, Tolstoi IS the greatest living thinker on sociological subjects but his one objection to hlm IS his lack of faith in Christ.
 But he makes up for it," declared MT. Bryan, ''by putting most of the doctrines of Christ into practice in his daily life
 As MT. Chain was leaving, he and MT. Bryan were surprised by photographer who secured good picture of them walk ing together down the steps, which led MT. Bryan to remark that 1t probably was the first time rival candidates could be kept together long enough for pho tograph to be taken.
 Peter s. Morrison, aged 95 years, who lives near Sheridan. Wyo.. stopped on In Lincoln on his way home from Michigan for the sole purpose of shaking hands with the democratic nominee. Although within five years of the century mark, Mr Morrison displayed remarkable memory and recalled with clearness many stirring events of the early days or the republic To have seen and spoken to Andrew Jackson while president or the Tinted States and live to tell IL, was revelation to MT. Bryan.
 .I often wanted to hear from the lips of someone who had seen him. 1T ne was as he has been pictured" remarked MT. Bryan.
 MT Morrison described the tall. slim figure of Jackson and bringing his hst down on the arm of his chair and set ting his features as if in imitation Of him, he said:
 'He was a man of an iron will. He would insist on the right, no matter what happened. and for that reason he prob ably became the most unpopular Presl- dent who ever left the White House"
 The veto of the United States bank bill by Jackson, MT. Morrison told MT. Bryan. contributed more than anything else to his unpopularity.
 MT. Bryan seemed fascinated with the "reminiscences of the old man. who re- lated how. among other things, during the Mexican war, he came near captur- ing Santa Anna. who only escaped by leaving behind his wooden leg and cut , ting the traces of his horse. MT. Morri- son was driven to the station by MT. Bryan himself the horse having been especially ordered htched up for the pur- pose, and he carried away with him as a souveir of his visit handsome silver headed cane, which was cut from The Hermitage" Andrew Jacksons old home in Tennessee.
 Other callers were the Rev. w. T. Daw- son of London, and Robert E. Coughlan, an attorney of Paola, Kans., who brought encouraging reports of the outlook for democratic success in that state.
 When not engaged with visitors MT. Bryan busted himself in the preparation of the speeches which he is scheduled to make He is making good headway with them and 1t is expected they will be completed by the time he starts on his ten days trip beginning at Des Moines August 21.
