Ia TOILETTE AND
BRIAN CONFER
Aecidentas&eeting and Con-
6dential Talk Scared Both
Political Parties

Washington. Jan. S-Col. William
Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and Sem
ator Robert NJ. LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin had conference at the Union
station upon their joint arrival in the
city, the former from the south and
the latter from the west. The meet
ing between the three time presiden-
and the progressive Republican who
Is seeking to wrest the Republican
nomination from President Taft, was
said to be accidental.
No sooner was it known that the
progressive leaders of the two parties
had come together than tongues be-
gan to- wag and third party talk flow
thick and fast about the hotel corri-
dors. 1t was not wholly confined to
committee who We're gathering for the
meeting today. Republicans too,
showed lively interest.
All day the Democratic committee
men had been seeking methods of
dealing with the several perplexing
questions scheduled to come up late
today at the meeting, but nearly every
possible solution advanced seemed to
depend upon the probable attitude of
the Nebraska leader. Progress was
slow because Of the general desire to
consult Mr.. Bryan and his arrival was
awaited with great impatience.
Finally 1t was learned that his train
had been blockaded by wreck and
was two hours late.
Shortly before s o'clock the Ne
braskan's train arrived. Many promi-
nent Democratic leaders were at the
station. After handshakings all
around Mr.. Bryan sighted Senator La
Toilette. or to be exact, they seemed
to sight each otehr at about the same
time. They rushed toward each other
and shook hands and then lost no time
in withdrawing short distance from
the crowd. They sat down on a bench
and conversed with evident earnest
ness for several minutes.
What's being pulled of" was the
question the waiting Democrats seem
ed to be asking each other as they
watched the two men. This interro-
cation in the vernacular Of the street
was not actually propounded. but that
there was some CONSERVATION IN the
party was apparent.
When Mr.. Bryan and the senator
parted there was another show d

Col. Roosevelt is not only the logi-
cal candidate for president at this
time but he Is the only one who is
sure to win. He can carry the New
England states, New York. Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio and his majority
throughout the middle west and Pa
cific states would be overwhelming
He would not only carry the full Re-
but he would receive a large share OF
progressive Democratic votes.
Personally I am very fond Of Sem
ator LaTollette and regard him as q
great constructionist statesman, but
] have not encouraged any general
movement for him in Kansas because
am fully convinced that Col Roose-
velt is the only man who can be alb
solutely depended upon. to win and
thereby save the country from four
wears of uncertain political expert
ments, which may involve the wreck
and ruin of those great national poll
cies associated with his name.
ITO remove Senator LaFollette at

great factor for good out Of that body
