BRYAN ON HIS
NOMINATION

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July
10.--The following statement
was made by w. j. Bryan today
when at ABA a. m. he received
the announcement OF his nomi-
nation by the democratic party
for president:
THE presidency Is the highest
position in the world and no one
occupying it "a afford to have
his views upon public questions
biased by personal ambition.
Recognizing his responsibility
to God and his obligation to his
countrymen, he should enter
upon the discharge of his duties
with singleness of purpose. Be
lieving that one can best do
do this when he is not planning
for a second term, I announce
now as I have on former occa-
sions, that if elected I shall not
be a candidate for reelection.
This is a nomination as
purely from the people as can
be and If elected my obligation
will be as purely to the people.
J appreciate the honor the more
because it came not from one
person or a few persons, but
from the rank and file, acting
freely and without compulsion."

Dreams Of the Grass.
e in long grasses!

O! to dream On the plain!
Where the West wind sings as 1t passes.
A weird and unceasing refrain!
Where the rank grass losses and wal!owA,
And the plains rim daZZles the eye;
Where hardly a silver cloud bosses
The flashing steel shield of the sky!
TO watch the gay gulls as they glitter
II Lik snowflakes, and fall on high
To dip In tie deeps of the prairie;
Where the crows foot losses awry,
III the swirl o. swift walters is glee
To the harsh, shrill creak of the cricket
And the song Of the lark and the bee!

The Eccentric Orator.

The parrot swinging on the perch
Has a vocabulary small
And unenfightened by research
And yet tits pleasant, after all.
When u discussions seem to tend
To candidate and trades and tricks
To have some faithful biped friend
Who isn't talking politics.
I listen with a friendly sigh
To what he uiters DER and DER.
Here is no cry for sordid PIE;
He wants a cracker, nothing more.
How we'll his speeches seem to flow:
Profane, PERTAINS, but ne'er prolix;
The only orator I know
Who isn't talking politics!
