Thinks There ! Will Be Lively
Political Fight on
T in U. S.

London, July 10.---London news
papers anticipate an interesting con-
test for the presidency of the United
States. This, they think, will arise
not SO much from differences in the
platforms of the opposing parties as
from the striking personalities of
the candidates. Mr.. Bryan having
dropped free silver and other tex
treme'' planks, is regarded as an &C
ceptable candidate, but as likely to
stand little chance against the
Roosevelt nominee His only
chance, it is thought here, will be
from support given him by the labor
party, but this is expected to be
more than balanced by the accession
of the business community to Mr.
Taft.

William Jennings Bryan for the {
third time the nominee of the Demo

days and nights of strenuous endeavor
which brought him running mate

dream of Democratic success next No
yember. That is, his dreams will be
thus, if they follow his belief, but it
was by no means certain that exhaust
ed nature would allow even so pleas
ant an encroachment on his slum-
bers.
Since Tuesday, when the conven-
ton opened, Mr.. Bryan has been as
busy, and probably buster, than any
man in Denver, if not in the country.
1t is doubtful if in the last four days
he has averaged more than three
hours sleep in twenty-four. He has
been in constant touch by telegraph
with the convention, and with great
frequency has been called upon to
give instant decisions in matters of
great Importance. -:
With no wish to dominate the &C,
lions of his friends at Denver, he has
constantly been asked by them for
guidance. Mr.. Bryan has maintained
a cheerful equanimity of temper,
clearness of mind and vigor of action,
which bespeaks perfect health, and
has gained the admiration of those
who have been associated with him
throughout the trying period. j..
The last twenty-four hours we're
fruitful of Developments The plat
form was adopted, Mr.. Bryan was
| nominated and the second place on
| the ticket was filled by the nomina-

| An all-night session was held at
| Fairview by Mr.. Bryan, his personal
! friends and a number of newspaper
men. During the long hours, while
waiting for the reading of the plat
| form and balIoting on the nomination
for president, Mr.. Bryan, throwing
off the accumulated fatigue of the
three previous days, held all listeners
in close attention by repetition of
story after story suggested by the
incoming news from Denver. 1t was
full daylight when, after receiving the
congratulations of those present and
the drinking of unfermented grape
juice, he retired to snatch a few hours
Of rest.
| At o'clock he was up and about,
for the struggling advance guard of
enthusiastic Lincoln citizens calling
to pay their respects was already ar
irving. At 10 O'clock by trolley, by
automobile, by wagon and on foot,
the crowd arrived, the Lincoln Bryan
club among them, and headed by a
brass band.
