BRYAN CHOSEN TO
TRAIL BULL MOOSE
Nebraskan Will Follow and Har-
ass Roosevelt in Every De-
batable State.

Sea Girt. n. J., July 25.-Word
reached Sea Girt tonight from Cover
nor Wilson's retreat that he had made
excellent progress to-day In writing
his speech of acceptance and expected
to finish It tomorrow and return to
his summer home here tomorrow
nl~ht The Governor has several APP
pointments to receive callers here
ST. .urday.
The question as to what is to be-
come of William Jennings Bryan m
the democratic national campaign was
seemingly answered here to-day when
close political advisers of Governor
Wilson let ii be known that Mr..
Bryan's assignment would be to worry
and harass the bull moose" candi-
date and to follow him into every de-
batable State.
The assignment of Bryan to take
care of Coione' Roos ovelt is regarded
here rs one IN which the Nebraskan
Will take great JOY. 1t Is known that
Bryan has regarded Roosevelt as a
trespass up0I. democratic preserves,
and ,ae Wilson forces eApect him to
make brave showing as a defender
or MS party's right to carry out In
oIrlce the things which Bryan advocat
ed long before Colonel Roosevelt de-
cided that he. too. would take them up.
In order to prepare Mr.. Bryan for his
excursions along the bull moose trail,
Gov. Wilson will hold a conference with
him at Sea Glrt shortly after the speech
OF acceptance is delivered on August I.
Mr.. Bryan has been invited to come
here prepared to remain for two or three
days. So far no political visitor has been
| White House.
Colonel Bryan will urge, according 10
the present plan of campaign sketched
out Tor him, that Colonel Roosevelt tell
Just why George W, Perkins is con-
tr1buting so largely to his campaign.
Just why rhe colonel did little with
the tariff In his seven years In office,
just how the Tennessee Coal and Iron
zeal came about, and how II came that
the Steel trust maintained so persistently
It's status as n good trust"
Governor Wilson'S part In the program,
by which 1t is made Mr.. Bryan's chief
DUTY to care for the bull moose party,
calls for his coming into direct clashes
with Roosevelt as little as possible. Gov
ernor Wilson wishes to make only a few
set speeches In the campaign and to rest
MS candidacy upon his views of public
| questions.

capacity they use their plumage with

The speaker concluded with the
statement that birds sometimes COPY
from man. and that man could learn a
great deal by copying from the bird.
