Washington Times: That William
Jennings Bryan has about resolved
that he will make the race for United
States senator in Nebraska next year
is the latest information which comes
from his state.
After the presidential election last
autumn II was commonly accepted
that, his home state having gone
democratic, Mr.. Bryan would become
candidate for the senate. His party
had complete control of the legislature
and set about to put into the statute
books various measures which Mr..
Bryan had advocated, especially the
bank guaranty law and the Oregon
senatorial primary law.
Later came report that Mr.. Bryan
had about decided to change his plans
and keep out of the senatorial race. II
was explained that he had small in
terest In making a political fight for
control of his own state, with serious
chances Of being defeated and thus
Inundated as national leader The re-
suit was that his closest friends for
several months were o, the opinion
that he had given up all thought of
running. This impression was
strengthened when it was announced
that he had winter home in Texas.
But now comes from Nebraska re-
port. so definite as to amount almost
to the announcement, that Mr.. Bryan
has decided to run for the senate. 1t
is supposed that he believes he can
win and that, coupled with this i'm
preston, there Is strong idea that
he could maintain hold on his party
and make 1t more effective for the fur
therance of his future plans by get.
ting place in the senate.
Mr.. Z vans run in Nebraska last fall
Is being analysed with good deal of
interest. 1t is suggested on one side
that his strength was responsible for
carrying through the state and legis-
lative tickets and three of the six con-
gress members. On the other hand, 1t
is declared that the plurality of Mr..
Bryan in the state was smaller than
the aggregate democratic pluralities
for the legislature and for the con-
gressional tickets or for governor; in
short, that by this comparison Bryan
appears weaker, instead of stronger,
than his party.
Mr.. Bryan would have to defeat
Senator E. j. Burkett, who is serving
his first term in the upper branch, and
is considered likely to have no serious
opposition for the republican nomina-
ton. Mr.. Burkett is a politician of
resource, energy and uniform success.
He is a great organizer which Mr..
repute as member of the more radical
group of western senators.
