Trenton, N. j., Dec. 23.-President
Elect Wilson announced after a three
and half hours conference with
William J. Bryan that the name of
the Nebraskan had not been men
toned in their discussion of cabinet
places.
We had very delightful confer
ence, but did not come to any conclu-
sion," said the president elect, as he
came out of his office to talk to the
waiting newspaper men. I'VE talked
things over generally. We talked
about the policies of the party, the
carrying out of the platform pledges,
and talked about various cabinet
places, discussing names In a general
way"
Did Mr.. Bryan suggest some
names?" he was asked.
II don't remember whether he or |
suggested the Names"
The governor then was asked if
Mr.. Bryan's name had been discussed.
1t was not discussed" he answered
emphatically. You must take me at
my word that | am not making deci-
sIons now, and honor me by not ask
ing questions that call that into ques-
ton"
The Nebraskan was noncommittal
as to his conference.
ut is customary" he said, "for the
president to make announcements of
his conferences, and not his callers"

as ever, and the president as implaca BILE
as ever in his opposition to Zayas One
of the curiosities of the situation is the
temperance in the political field of Gen
Pine Guerra. the mil tary hero OF the
revolution Of August. 190j. then, as now,
the firm ally of DIR. Zayas.
The attitude of the conservatives in the
campaign is not well defined 1t is wen
known that Gen. Menocal accepted the
nom nation with extreme reluctance and
his pol teal managers are not display ng
any activity. 1t would seem probable
that they may follow the lire of policy
openly admitted during the campaign
when Jose Miguel Gomez was elected
and it was dec .ded that conservative
victory would be dangerous to the well
fare of the country.
Apparently no party is disposed TO make
a bid for the coored vote, which might
fairly be expected to be hostile to the ad-
ministration on account of the ruthless
slaughter OF pac tic negroes by the
troops. but apparently little animosity is
felt, the colored people generally taking
the view that the instruction was not
racial movement. but a movement for po-
teal purposes by some misguided men,
bers of the colored race.
