Mr. Bryan declared that the election
was significant in that it showed TO the
country that the Democrats have been
justified in their forecasts OF the trend
of political sentiment throughout the
country.
Mr.. Bryan has not begun the prepare
ton OF his speech Of acceptance, and
probably he will not do so until Mr..
Taft's address is delivered. The ques.
ton OF whether he will make an exten.
sive campaign tour is one which Mr..
Bryan is now considering. He says the
subject has net been sufficiently devel
oped for him 10 make any statement
regarding it. The belief is general here
that he contemplates the delivery OF a
number OF addresses in various parts
OF the country. His first trip viii be
on July y, when he will 60 to Chicago

Mr.. Bryan still entertains the view
advocated by him in his previous cam

United States should he admitted TO

greater dignity and not only sit in
cabinet meetings and participate in
their deliberations, but also should be
kept informed on all affairs OF state
in order that he might be the better pre-
pared to perform the duties Of president
should he be suddenly called upon to
assume the office.
New York is the only state east of
the Appalachian mountains considered
doubtful by Mr.. Bryan and the Demo
cratic leaders. Mr.. Bryan has not said
so for publication, but the program Of
the campaign, which he will offer in
person to the sub committee OF eleven
in Chicago next week. will mark plainly
the middle West and the Pacific coast
as the prescribed fields for the taird
battle. There was a conference of ma.
