BRYAN TO BE HERE
WILL CONSULT WITH DEMO
CRATIC LEADERS ON POLITICS.

Important conferences of democratic
national politics will be held in this city
within the next forty-eight hours. Mr.
William Jennings Bryan will be in town
tomorrow, and democratic leaders in both
branches of Congress will meet him and
talk over the presidential outlook.
1t is said that some democrats from the
outside. including William #. Sheehan of
New York, ex-senator Smith and Others.
are also coming to Washington to take
part in the conference. The object Of the
conflab is said to be the discussion with
Mr.. Bryan over his candidacy. Some
neutral position at the coming national
convention. if. indeed. he does not deem
it wise in the meantime TO Yield to some
other candidate.
Gov. Johnson of Minnesota is being
strongly urged for the nomination on ac-
count OF his strength with the foreign
vote in the republican states of Mime
sofa. the Dakotas. Wisconsin and Illi-
nois. together with other western states.
Friends of Mr.. Bryan said today that
Mr.. Bryan will not allow his candidacy
to menace the prospects OF the demo-
cratic party in campaign which might
promise a fighting chance for victory. but
that Mr.. Bryan will take into considera-
ton and very carefully scrutiniZe the
sources from which emanate advice of his
withdrawal. In other words. he will not
listen to such 4 suggestion from men
who are affiliated with the old voters of
the party who left to go with the gold
standard faction, but that he will not ra
fuse TO talk politics with democrats who
have been democrats all along.
