WASHINGTON LETTER E!
Interests Endeavorins to Defeat
Bryan for Nomination.

Bureau OF Capital News, Room 42l
Munsey Bldg, Washington, d. c.
Washington, Jan. e. Enemies OF
w. J. Bryan tried but failed to In
duce the democratic national CON-
mittee at its recent meeting In Wash
ington to abolish the unit rule under
which democratic state delegations
have voted in the past In consenance
with the bylaw OF the committee.
The intention was to enable the OPP
ponents or MIR. Pryan to pick up
enough delegates here and there TO
assemble one-third OF the delegates
and IL possible defeat Mr.. Bryan; If
not, TO bold their one-third control
OF the convention over his head as
club to procure modification OF the
platform according to their views.
"A'so, well digested plan is laid
and in process of being carried out OF
massing all possible favorite son
strength 10 several states SO as to
subtract from Bryan's following.
Those who oppose Bryan are working
with this favorite son movement and
are in rather close agreement, al
though 1t would not be accurate TO
assert that all who support favorite
son In a given state are In sympathy
with the reactiouary forces to which
| have made reference.
"But the abolition Of the unit rule
was not accomplished: and the at
tempt to defeat bryan for the nomi-
nation will fail, because the common
people VI the democratic party love
and trust him, and his election,
firmly believe, will follow bis nomi-
nation, because he has following
today In the republican party which,
added to bis supporters in the demo-
cratic party, will insure his success.
Alexander rroup, editor Of the
New Haven, Coma, Union, and one
OF the leading democrats of the ma
tion. made the foregoing statement
today, in Washington, adding:

thing to do with them.
"We advertise three lectures for
him. The Prince of Peace he likes
the best himself, and it is the most
popular with the people. 1t is an
eulogy Of Jesus Christ and His teach
ings, and his description OF the cruel
fixion is one Of the most eloquent
word paintings ever heard by human
ears. He has delivered that lecture
at least 900 times and never varies a
word in delivery. His memory Is so
accurate that he never make a mis-
take. The Value OF an IDEAL is an
Older lecture, and although 1t is not
delivered so often these days 1t has
probably been heard quite as many
times as the other. The Old World
and Its Ways Is his new lecture and
Is the result of bis recent tour around
the world. He delivered that at
many Chautauquas hast summer and
probably $50 times altogether during
the past year.
THE greatest indoor audience Mr..
Bryan ever had was at Seattle last
January, where he delivered The
Prince of Peace to about 5000 peo-
Pile, and his receipts were over 81, 900.
The greatest audience he ever ad-
dressed at Chautauqua was at
Carthage, Mo-. where 1000 persons
gathered to hear him.
"He closed bis tour for 1907 on the
10th Of September with the exception
OF few political engagements in
the South. / wanted him to give me

declined because IT would be a viola.

from Winnipeg for two nights for

lecture course there explain that they
could not accommodate ali who want
to bear him at single lecture, and
insist that he shall give them two

have on tle more than twelve hun
dred applications for the present

popularity has increased instead OF
diminished. judging from the anxiety
OF the lecture managers throughout
the United States to secure him.

abolish the unit rule. The anti
Bryan forces are organizing. They
have plenty OF funds, and almost
everything In the form of political
strength excepting the good will and
votes OF the democratic masses,
These are for Bryan. 1t is the per-
sonallty of Pryan and the love OF the
people against this well organized
element and an unlimited purse OF
campaign funds.
But, Bryan will win. He will be
nominated aud elected. believe
that not many OF the leaders who
bolted his nomination In 1896 and
1860 will vote for him. although hosts
of the rank and die will do so who
were misled In those two campaigns
by false statements and subtle pre-
sentation OF half.truth. Bryan's
strength is as much In the repupli-
can party as In tie democratic.
There are hundreds Of republicans
whom / personally know who assert
that they will vote for Bryan In 1908.
II l can locate these hundreds within
my personal field OF observation, GER
talnly there must be thousands. yes,
hundreds OF thousands, elsewhere
who will do the same. They are IN
the doubtful electio" districts
throughout the east.
Talk with Bryan's opponents and
they will tell you that the democratic
masses are for his nomination, yet,
with strange distortion Of logic, they
will assert that he Is not the man u
name on the ticket. by what course
OF reasoning may one reach the con-
clusion that IL Is sound politics tc

the love Of the masses To me, tha;
Constitutes strength, yet they seek
TO prove to US that that constitutes
weakness, and TO deprive us OF that
candidate whom the people want.

lie looms larger today than ever he
fore, aud the day has passed when
men scorn him or speak lightly OF his
influence and purposes.
Furthermore, not only Is Bryan
stronger than before with the people,
but the republican party Is weaker
with the public aud within Its own
ranks, than at any time during the
past 20 years. IL Is split asunder
now with factional strife and the
present panic has burst the bubble OF
assumption as the guarantor OF ma.
tional prosperity. The controlling
forces Of the republican party are
anti Roosevelt and reactionary, while
the controlling forces In the demo-
cratic party are progressive and this
the people today demand. The re-
dictionary democrats are In hopeless
minority. The party, dominating
the few referred 10, is united. The
republican party cannot get together
on any man yet named, excepting It
be Roosevelt, and lie won't run. -

nominated, Mr.. Troup answered.
"'But the administration does not
want blu, nor do the politicians.
Hughes could not unite that party.
Moreover, he has not In the past de-
clared himself Oh national questions,
and, although he may do so soon, bis
uttersnces will be unsupported by a
train OF previous acts and advocates

people that his utterances, which are

Andres Fink and John Grindsteiner
were booked to appear before Justice A.
P. Folsom at the latter's Office last Mon
day for a preliminary hearing on the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon. 1t will be remembered that
these two men were arrested for the as
sault upon Mr.. GollWitzer of R~ichardton
about three weeks ago. All of the
states witnesses showed up at the ap-
pointed time for the hearing and con-
siderable testimony was taken in behalf
of the state. 1t seems that Fink and
Grindsteiner did not Intentionally stay
away from the hearing but were not
properly notified as to the date. No
particular action was taken in the case
but Justice A. P. Folsom deemed it
best to place their bonds at 81, 600 and
they have been spending several days in
Jail. The chances are that a prelimi-
nary hearing would be of no real advan-
taee to Fink and Grindsteiner and they
might just as well stay in the county
jail as to try to get bonds.
