MILWAUKEE. Wis, Aug 81, 1908
Through an engagement to the only
son of William Jennings Bryan, candi-
date for the presidency of the United

ninGS Bryan, Jr only son Of the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency.
Miss Berger and her mother are at pres
ent on a visit with friends at Lincoln,
Ncb., including the presidential candi-
date ana his family For a number of
years after leaving Milwaukee, Mr..
Berger was a resident of Lincoln and
he was largely interested in grain Gle

or less interested, will not take place
for some time. possibly n year or longer.
Not, at least, until young Bryan has
completed his education and started
upon his chosen career. His ideas are

tive to a young man who lived in the
lime light of the candidate for President
