Chicago, June 16.-William Jennings Bryan was a center of attraction In the convention scene today. and though ap- bearing at the headquarters of leaders of a rival party as newspaper reporter he was given a demonstration by the throng of visitors and delegates.
 Mr. Bryan had a personal chat with Theodore Roosevelt late In the day after he had interviewed Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt leader and Managing Direc- tor Mckinley of the Taft bureau.
 As he entered the hotel lobby, elbow Ing his way through crowds. someone shouted, "Hurrah for William J. Bryanr' He was cheered for several minutes and continuous cries of "Speechl Speech"' came from all parts of the lobby. Wr Bryan waved his hand to the crowd and remarked to those near him that he had come to Chicago merely as a newspaper reporter and not seeking presidential nomination"
 T came to see your steam roller said Mir Bryan, as he shook hands with Con- gressman Mckinley. "Is 1t anywhere in siRht?'
 "No, we have laid 1t aside" said MT. Mckinley, but would be glad to lend it to you if you would like to have It at Baltimore"
 "Oh. no; we democrats do not need it,r Mir Bryan 1aughingIy responded. "We are going 10 hold a model con- vention."

 There also will be dual declarations in favor of Legislation to curb monop- ely. The Taft people favor the reten- tion of the Sherman antitrust law, but would build on it so as to define it's operations and at the same time give the general public the benefit of it's protecting effect The Rooseveltians will treat the subject along somewhat different lines, especially emphasizing tho necessity of regulating the opera. tions of the large corporations.
 Popular Rule an Issue
 The Roosevelt people will press well 10 the front the subject of popular gov ernment declaring in favor of all the instruments tending in that direction whether they be primary elections. the elections of United States senators by direct vote of the people, the initia- tive, the referendum and the recall.
 The fact will be recognized, however that many of these agencies can be em. ployed only in the government of the states, and in such cases the platform will specifically refer them to the va rious communities for local determina- tion A female suffrage plan is one oi the new features of the Roosevelt declara- tion. The initiative and referendum will not be touched upon by the Taft docu- ment but the recall will be natly de nounced as calculated to undermine the stability of government. Especial declara- ton will be made for the protection Of the judiciary and the maintenance of or der and the enforcement of law.
 The principle of q central banking re- serve will be supported by the Taft reso- lutions, but the Aldrich bill will not be referred to by name The Roosevelt dec laration will mention the Adrich plan but to condemn 1t. Both documents will declare for the conservation of the nat ural resources of the country, but the Roosevelt pronoutcement. which is un- derstood 10 have been prepared by Mir Pinchot, will be much the more sweep ing in it's demands. Both pronounce for strong navy.
 The Improvement of the Mississippi river on a comprehensive scale will be advocated in the Roosevelt paper.
 The platform prepared by President Taft's friends commends his adminstra- ton in high terms; the Roosevelt paper is silent on that subject.
 The Taft document will be brief If ths advice of the men at today's meeting is needed. They take the position that only the essentials should be presented The Roosevelt document will be larger and more specific.
