The Republican Party Warfare
Makes VIM. J. Bryan Happy

N. Y. Sun: It makes William Jen-
nings Bryan's heart glad to zee the
Republican party split In two on the
eve of the most chaotic election in
years. At least this is what he told
an immense audience of Columbia
University professors and students at
hastily arranged lecture in the
Horance Mann auditorium at Broad

In fact the Nebraskan is almost afraid
that he himself will be drafted at the
Chicago convention as a candidate for
the Republican party, according to
what he told the university people.

President dividing the party" said Mr..
Bryan, they will soon begin to tell
what they know of each other, ana If
they do there will be no fiction read
for two months to come because the
truth itself will be so interesting that
no one will think of reading a novel.
