Chicago, Aug. 23.-Now that William
]. Bryan has set his seal of approval
upon the plans made by the Democratic
national committee to bring about his
election, the Democratic campaign may
be said to be in that period of transit
ton in which practical organization is
completed and the skirmish fire of the
battle has begun.
There will be a meeting of the nation
al committee and subcommittee and
Mr.. Bryan on September to con-
slider whether the line of action
being taken is proving effective
Politics We're escheWed az head
quarters today. and Mr.. Bryan and his
brother and a few friends attended
church, but to the national committee
men and friends who spoke with him
of the hard struggle that Chairman
Mack and the campaign managers had
outlined, he replied:
II realize the task ahead of me and
what it means. l am not minimizing
the demands that / know will be made
upon me, but l feel that / can do
what is expected of. me- for my health
is fine and l never entered a fight with
more hope of victory. 1t is the peoples
fight and to battle for them gives add
ed courage and strength in the trying
hours of campaign"
In Bryan's Hands.
Political developments in the twenty
four hours since Mr.. Bryan's arrival
here show that the managers of the
Democratic campaign have put the
fight into the hands of Mr.. Bryan and
to the people. Mr.. Bryan has already
made two speeches-his address of no.
tficatios and the tariff speech at Des
Moines-and this week will find him
making several speeches in the middle
west, where Chairman Mack has de-
cided to make the main fight of the
campaign.
New York is to be invaded, and in all
probability New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and West Virginia, and in
these states, as well as in Indiana, IL
linois and Ohio, the Democratic candi-
date will make his principal struggle
for victory.
After Mr.. Bryan has chosen each of
the several planks of the party plat
form as the theme of an extended
speech, he will then, in speeches to be
made later in the campaign, elucidate
upon these various subjects in greater
detail.
Mr.. Bryan in Demand.
Chairman Mack has informed AIR.
Bryan that the committee does not in
tend to call upon him to make as many
speeches as in other campaigns. but it
is known that the demands for Mr.
Bryan's services have become insist
ent from many quarters. and there is
a strong probability that before the
end of next mouth Mr.. Bryan's speak
ing plans may undergo many changes.
Acting on the advice of Mr.. Bryan,
the national committee members are
inclining their every effort to enlist
the aid of the people to effect Demo-
cratic success at the polls, and TO do
this most effectively, Chairman Mack
is seeking to have Democratic clubs
organized in every voting precinct in
the United States. Upon these Demo-
cratic clubs both Mr.. Bryan and the
national committee are depending for
their greatest aid and strength, and
they are the feature of this campaign
The Democratic club idea is believed
by many in the national committee
to have been developed to its present
scope by Mr. Bryan, who declares that
the whole campaign depends upon these
clubs.
To Spread Democratic Doctrine.
After the clubs have been organized
under the direction of the state and
chairman, their work. as out
lined by Mr.. Bryan, will be to spread
the doctrine of the party Campaign
have long since discovered
that much OF the literature sent out
is either lost or is not sufficiently
placed. The precinct clubs will see that
this literature is placed i'm proper
hands and i'm this way the committee
hopes every voter may be reached.
The collection of campaign funds is to
A major degree TO be put up to the pre- |
cinct clubs and the committee hopes that
With small contributions from the thou
sands of individual members the aggre- |
gate sum will be sufficient.
On election day the precinct clubs will |
