there is no limit to its possibilities.

MIR. CLAYTON TALKS
DISCUSSES THE COMING DENVER CONVENTION.
He VIII Probably Be Temporary chair- man, But Announcement Has Not Been Made--Talks of
 Minority Leader.

Congressman Henry D. Clayton, Of the Third Alabama District who will in all probability be selected temporary Chairman of the National Democratic Convention at Denver was in Montgom- cry yesterday to attend the funeral of his friend and colleague. the late Con gressman A. A. Wiley.
 When asked by his friends if he would be temporary Chairman at Dem yer he replied:
 'Do you know, all that I know about it Is what have seen in the papers? I have seen a good deal of newspaper talk about it, but have heard nothing official about #. As e. matter of fact though the National Committee which will select the temporary Chairman has had no meeting and there is noth- ing to learn. The place is an honor any Democrat should appreciate. nor no one else will know on whom the Com. mittee proposes to confer the honor to prepare for the convention.
 The Democrats do business q little differently from the Republicans The Republicans always give their tempor- ary and permanent chairman notice Senator Burrows and Senator Lodge had been selected by the Republicans two weeks before the Chicago Conven- tion met. On the other hand when the Democratic Convention met four years oge. John sharp Williams was given just one 'day's notice in which to pre- pare his chairman's address. The sama procedure will be followed at Denver" ["
 Notwithstanding this the friends of the Alabama Congressman are con- fident that he will be selected at Dem yer.
 The resignation of John Sharp Will Hams recently submitted to Mir. Clay ton who is chairman of the Democratic caucus of the House.
 He was asked yesterday who would be elected minority leader to succeed Mir. Williams who will go into the Senate.
 Tt looks like the honor will go Co Champ Clarke of Missouri" replied Mir. Clayton Personally I am friend ly to Congressman Robert Henry of Texas. He went into Congress with me in 1896 and I consider him one Of the ablest Democrats in Congress. He may not run for the honor. however Champ Clarke seems to have the cali. do not think that Congressman n Robert De Armond will offer for the place"

Republicans VII HaDe
 Fight to Beat Bryan

to the taking of any risk of going back or . halt on the part of the new Republicanism.
 You can't hear in Chicago any ex- pressions of doubt as to what the peo- pie want. The leaders not only have become convinced of the desires of the voters, but they have made the voters desires. and it actually seems as if party leadership and party following were one.
 A good many Senators and Repre-. sentatives are in Chicago. Congress adjourned legs than two weeks ago, but these men have had a chance 10 go home and to hear what their con. stituents had Co say to them. It wasn't altogether a "do-nothing" Congress, though 1t would have been if the clos ing hours had not been such extremely busy ones.
 The Senators and Representatives were the last of the Republican lead CTS to become convinced that the peo- pie meant to go ahead. They were tied by tradition and ruled by a Congres- sionaI hossisnn. They have come to Chicago with the last session only two weeks behind them. and they seem to be among the converts. and to be so thoroughly converted that backsiidins Is not even a possibility. President Roosevelt did what he could with Con- gress. The people in two short weeks seemed to have done more.
 There fs strong feeling that Bryan is going to give the Republican Party a hard light. and there is an equally strong feeling. made apparent by the men now in this city. that every prep aration must Do made to give Mfr. Bryan more of a light than he can stand.
