of lHs cousin, eX-Gov. w. S. jennings.
colonel Bryan has purchased a piece

WHICH he expects to improve up to
the Npoint of building winter home.
he fcontemplates building his home
next summer or the following win
ter, and his visit here this Season,
according to his statement, is for
the purpose of "testiig the climate"
Colonel Bryan when seen at the
office of Ex-Governor Jennings this
morning, was asked if there was any
truth i'll the circulated reports re-
safding his being secretary of state
IN President elect Wilson cabinet,
CT his going to London as the United
States ambassador. Colonel Bryan
3as. aiso asked to confirm tssc rum
oT's that he intended to 20 10 Ber-
muda where Governor Wilson has
gone for period of rest.
here is nothing in the way of Of
ices that | care to discuss with any
body answered Colonel Bryan. Il
| have already denied the report that
intend going to Bermuda .
Colonel Bryan was questioned re-
garding the specials esssion Of con-
/ gress.
All | know regarding the speciaY
session of congress is the fact that it
has been called replied Col. Bryan.
However, expected that 1t woufo
, be called, and think one of the prin-
cipal reasons for the special session
tariff
What do you think of the reduc-
ton of tariff " Colonel Bryan was
asked.
Il think the sooner tariff is reduced
the better" answered Col Bryan.
The news man asked Colonel Bryan
to say something about the demo-
cratic administration, and TO give his
yitws as to how the country wouI0
b Dattereo.
Had to Laugh.
y this the great statesman feaned
back in his chair, the Bryan smile"
broadened, and his great powerful
frame shook with laughter
Il am only going to be here two
days." he said, laughingly. 'If I were
counting on being in this city a
month or so | might be able to tel!
you some of the things that Will be
brought about for the betterment of
The country by Governor Wilson's ad-
ministration. | think book could
easily be gotten up on that subject
Governor Wilson's administration
will mean great deal for the United
States, and my confidence has great
ly increased as / have become bet
ter acquainted with him"
There are no constitutional lmi-
be considered at a 81 ci.1 session of
congress. Possibly the other com
mittees viii formulate the present
different Ills wl:l9 the question Of
tariff reduction is under considera-
ton.
There are over four hundred con
gressmen and nearly one hundred
senators, and it would not do for me
t. plunge a. or speculate on what will
or will not be taken up when so many
legislators are to be considered
Il will say next to the tariff the
trusts and the currency are likely 10
occupy the attention of the legisla-
tors, and also the so-called Aldrich
bill for the establishment Of a central
bank"
along what ines viii congress
deal with these two questions?" Col
onel Bryan was asked.
''Tht democratic platform declares
that private monopoly Is indefen-
sible, as Wilson has said in many
speeches. | take it for granted that
the legislation on trusts will have
as their object the prevention of the
present monopolies.
"As for the currency, our party
platform is eqaully clear. The cur
~cncy plank says we oppose the So
called AIdrich bin for the eeteh1ish-
ment CT a central bank, and believes
