Bryan Denies That lie viii Run again.

Denver, Co.., Feb 24-Willam j.
Bryan, in speech here last night, de-
finitely set at rest reports that he
might be induced again to rake the
race for the Presidency.
In concluding his address, he said ::
81 am satisfied tbat so4leone else can
poll more volcs lh4n Inyseif. bur [ am
ready To euter upon campaigs on
behalf of Il true Democrat with even
more vlg>r than that with which /
have fought at any time on my own
behalf"
Previously in his address, which
was given uuter he auspices of no
faction, according 10 Former Gov. G.
s. Thomas, who Introduces him. Mr..
Bryan declared the psrly's only chance
of victory this fall is to nominate
progressive on platform that is pro-
gressive.
Speaking of President Taft and For
mer President Roosevelt, he said:
"When have we ever had in the
nations history such aspectaele as
that OF man coming luto the Presi-
dency on the recon- ..endation of one
man al going out of 1t on the con.
domination of the same man? And
now it seems that they are planning
to violate presidents of hundred
years by the nomination of the same
man, in order, if possible to save the
Republican party from overw lining
defeat.
"If | were to seek the nomination
again it would be just like some Re-
publican TO raise the third-term issue
and say that | already had two terms.
81 believe when party has only
one man in 1t fit to be President it
would be better 10 bury the party and
strait all over again."

THE FAR.SIGHTED TILLMAN.
Senator's Resolution Anent Huge Bat.
tleship Idea May Prevail.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 10.-It is
considered likely that when the house
and senate reach their expected COM
promise next week on the battleship
question, it will be for the construc-
ton of single super" battleship
which shall be by far the largest and
most formidable in every way that
the world has ever seen.
This is the outgrowth of the battle
ship Terror" resolution introduced
some weeks ago by Senator Tillnan,
of South Carolina At first there
was disposition to regard the reso-
luton as a piece Of sarcasm, but the
senator strongly resented any such in
depreciation of his suggestion and
seems now in fair way to see his idea
prevail. The one battleship may cost
nearly as much as two have cost here

SPEAKING AT BELTON
CLOSES WITH HOWLING
Blease Supporters Grow so Loud in
Disapproval That Campaign Meet.
ing is Adjourned.

Anderson, Aug. 10.-The county
campaign at Belton this afternoon
came to an abrupt and exciting ending.
Two of the II candidates for the leg
islature had spoken and the third, J..
L. Jackson, was addressing the gath
ering when confusion in the audience
became so pronounced that Col. D. A.
Geer, who was standing near the pre-
siding officer, stepped to the front and
declared the meeting adjourned. A
bunch of supporters Of the governor
called on the candidates to declare
themselves. with regard to the COVER
nor's race. J. A. Hall, the first leg
islative candidate, declared for Blease,
and this brought forth cheers. ". A.
Hudgenn, who followed Hall, declared
himself for Jones, and this provoked
considerable bowling among certain
PERSONS in the audience while the
Jones supporters cheered when Mr.
Jackson arose to speak. Some one
yelled that they knew how he stood
that he is for Jones, and the bowling
was greatly increased.
"A man named Shaw was conspicuous
in the noise making and Chief OF 'Po-
lice Robinson asked him to desisf,
Shaw continued his yells and Chief
Robinson then reached for him to
place him under arrest The crowd
surged around the two men and the
billet of the chief was wrenched from
his hands. Chief Robinson also re-
ceived a blow on the mouth which
brought blood. 1t was then that Col.
Geer adjourned the meeting. Order
was restored and Chief Robinson led
Shaw off the speaking grounds.
Josh Ashley, legislative candidate,
and warm supporter OF Blease, then
called on his friends to stand by him
and follow him outside the corporate
limits of the city, where he would
speak. About 100 persons responded.
