Chicago, Aug. 23.--Now that j. w.
Bryan has set his seal of approval
upon the plans made by the demo-
cratic national committee to bring
about his election the democratic cam
paign may be said to be
in that period of transta-
ton in which political organiza-
mittee and subcommittee with Mr.
Bryan on September 8, to consider
whether the line of action taken is
proving effective. Politics was eschew-
at headquarters today and Mr. Bryan
and HIS brother and a few friends at
tended church, but to the national
l'committeemen and friends who spoke
to him of the hard struggle that
lChairman Mack and the campaign
MANAGERS had outlined, he replied:
II Fealize the task ahead of me and
WHAT Il means. | am not miminiz-
ling Che demands that / know will be
mace upon me, but | feel that | can
do what is expected Of me, for my
health is fine and / never entered a
fight with more hope Of victory 1t Is
the peoples fight and to battle for
them gives added courage ana
strength in the trying hours of a COM
paign."
Political developments in the last
twenty-four hours, since Mr.. Bryan's
arrival here showed that the mana
gers of the democratic campaign have
put the fight into the hands of MIR.
Bryan and up to the people. Mr. Bry-
an has already made two speeches
his address of notification and the tar
iff speech at Des Moines-and this
week viii find him making several
speeches in the middle west, where
Chairman Mack has decided to make
the main fight of the campaign. New
York is to be invaded and in all prob
ability, New Jersey, Delaware, and
| West Virginia, and in these states as
well as in Indiana, Illinois and ohio,
the democratic candidate will make
his principle struggle for victory. Az
ter Mr.. Bryan has chosen from each Of
the several planks of the platform
the theme of an extended speech, he
will then, in speeches to be made later
| in the campaign, elucidate upon these
various subjects in created detail
Chairman Mack has informed Mr..
Bryan that the committee does not in
tend to call upon him to make as
many speeches as in other instances,
but it is known that the demands for
Mr.. Bryans services have become in
fsistent from many quarters and there
is strong probability that before the
end of next month, Mr.. Bryan's speak
ing plans may undergo many changes.
! Acting on the advice Of Mr.. Bryan,
the national committee are lnclining
their every effort to enlist the aid OF
the people to effect democratic sue
bess at the polls, and to do this most
successfully, Chairman Mack Is seek
ling to have democratic clubs organ
lied in every voting precinct in the
United States. Upon these democratic
clubs both Mr. Bryan and the nationa'
1committees are depending for Their
greatest strength and they are the fed-
ture of this campaign The demo-
cratic club idea is believed by many "a
have developed to its present scope Ivy
Mr.. Bryan, who declares that tie
whole campaign depends upon these
clubs.
After the clubs have been organi2 j
under the direction of the state and
county chairman, their work as ou'. .
lined by Mr.. Bryan win be to spread
the doctrine OF the party. The pro-
clnct clubs will see that all llteratur
sent them is placed In proper han ls
and in this way the committee hopes
every voter may be reached.
The collection OF campaign funds Is
tu a major degree TO be put up to tha
precinct clubs and the committee
hopes that with small contributions
from the thousands OF individual
members the aggregate sum will hc
sufflcent.
on election day the precinct clubs
will be called upon to get out the vote
and lastly to see that II Is fairly
lcounted
Such is the general plan Of the
democratic national campaign ar l.
while here and there minor change
win be made the national committee
