BRY4N ON THIRD TERN.
Also Talks about Republican Con-
Uention and Japanese Situation.
EBy Telegraph to The Tribune.I


South Bend Ind, Feb. 14.-"President Roose-
yelts friends did not pay him very high COM
pliment when they assumed that he would allow
either his ambition his zeal for his party to
carry him away from established custom and
precedent so important a matter as third
Presidential term,' said William ]. Bryan here
to-day.
1.-THE President said" he added, that he would
not run again, and L assumed all the time that
he would not recede from that position. He said
then that the substance was TO be considered
rather than the form. and no amount of sophis-
try could explain away the acceptance of a term
which would carry him nearly three and
half years beyond that of Washington. Jefferson
and other Presidents who refused to consider
third term.
1T is impossible at this time to make any In
telgent guess about the Republican convention
Only one state convention has been held and
that in Florida II that can be considered
the first gun of the campaign tt is rather signd-
cant that it was a double barrelled gun. two
sets of delegates being chosen. and the contests
even in Ohio would lead one to believe that all
would not be peaceful The talk does not point
to unanimity at this time. The President has
revealed reform sentiment in his party which
is fighting for its life against the stand patters'
and it is too early to estimate its strength.
II don't anticipate any trouble whatever from
the japanese. and there is excuse for the
sensational stories that published I'm this
country and in Japan They furnish an excuse
for larger appropriations for the navy, but
japan has no hostile designs us. Japan rec
ognizes our right to determine who shall come
into this country. The whole theory that our
nation must predicate It's success or prosperity
on lack of improvements I'm another nation is
false and un-Christian."

Albany, Feb. 14.-There seems little doubt that
when Governor Hughes appoints judge to sue
ceed the late Justice George B. Abbott of Brook
lyn it will be Democrat. 1t is not probable that
any appointment will be made until next week, but
the general belief here is that the Governor in
tends to choose a Democrat although many Re-
publicans have been recommended to him. Whether
he will take Democrat of the McCarren persua-
sion or an independent is a question on which
sentiment here is not unanimous by any means.
Senator McCarren has submitted a list of four
names to the Governor, saying that his preference
indicated by their order in the list That of
Luke D. Stapeton headed the list. William c.
Beecher son of Henry Ward Beecher, is inde-
pendent Democrat, whose name has been submit

convicted of crime. Valentine denied that
he had ever been convicted. He said that his
sister was not acting for herself, and averred
that she was Dowieite and was acting for

he was removed as executor by Surrogate Jack

1t is believed by some persons that the case

SOME SIDE
 LIGHT

This paper has stood out for the greatest good for the majority of citi- zens; and has not entered into any al liance with the powers which live by infractions of the moral law and the statute law of the land.
 Have you as miners and wage work CTS stopped to think how the enemies of the miners paper can circulate libelous cartoons and Iibelous articles against the management of union paper without being prosecuted for their wrong deeds?
 : Have you noticed how on the least pretext the whole machinery of law is turned loose to land an officer or rep resentitive of the union behind prison bars?
 Have you in your daily rounds ob served infractions of the law and of morality going on unpunihsed?
 Did you as miner and wage worker observe in the recent trial of the editor of this paper on the "charge'' of libel that Geo. B Orig sby U.. S. District Atty. honored the editor of this paper by prosecuting the case personally and with all the vigor he possessed, and did not even trust the case to an assistant?
 Did it ever occur to you that such conditions as we observe locally are a part of the great class struggle going on between the producers of wealth and the nonproducers or parasites?
 If the capitlist cobwebs have been sufficiently brushed away from your eyes so that you can perceive the sig nificance of these conditions, then you will also perceive the truth of the clause in our preamble which says that the concerted economic and political action of the workers is the only method of at taining justice for the workers.
