 The feature of the whole day probably was the absolute lack of rowdyism and bad order. Not single incident has been reported in which any trouble occurred. Once in a while the reports of flrecrack- CTS and other noise-making instruments were heard, but no accidents were re- ported and apparently with the greatest accuracy the day can be labelled safe and sane Fourth
 The police experienced no trouble from the 'colored clement of the city as some had expected. Not a single negro, male or female, was arrested for disorderly conduct or fighting.

Democrats Have Nothing to Fear

Chicago, July 4-William J. Bryan who stopped In Chicago today on his way to Nebraska declared if third par ty were formed Colonel Roosevelt might
 drive some reactionary democrats over to President Taft, but with the demo-
 crat ticket and platform he could not ex-
 pect any progressive democrats to be attracted to Roosevelt.
 Before leaving Baltimore MT. Bryan , estimated that Wilson would have a plur- ality of 2.000,o00 votes. When asked to- day if he still held 10 that estimate, he replied:
 Tn estimating Wilson's plurality, at 100000 I was not counting on a third party. This might reduce the plurality some and yet, not much because many republicans will vote for Roosevelt, who would not be willing to vote for demo- crat and that will largely reduce Taft's vote. Taft will he the contender for the Roosevelt votes. not Wilson" "In our platform" said MT. Bryan.
 "The single term for the presidency will attract much attention and also the de- claration favoring direct primaries. One of the best blanks is that declaring for popular election of national committee men, the committeeman to begin service when elected. This change will prevent
 holdover committeeman from organizing conventions"
 Replies to Watterson Asked what he thought of Colonel
 Henry Watterson's prediction that Colonel Roosevelt's party would succeed, MT. Bryan said:
 MT Watterson's predictions have not
 all come true, but If such a misfortune as he predicts should overtake us I hope that the Lord will give us strength to bear 1t with more cheerfulness than 'Marse' Henry shows"
 MT. Bryan said that while he thought that either Governor Burke of North Da- kota or Senator Chamberlain of Oregon would have brought the democrats more votes than Marshall, the Indiana gover- nor was a powerful man on the stump and had an excellent record.
