Washington, June Civilian j.
Bryan will take the stump within
month against President Wilson's poll
cies Of frmness and determination IN
international affairs. He said to-day
he would stay in Washington for
couple of weeks, when he would go to
Asheville, n. c., and then to the Chau-
tauqua Circuit. 1t is taken here as an
assured fact that Mr.. Bryan intends to
make it so embarrassing for President
Wilson that it will be practically I'M
possible or him to be renominated py
the Democratic convention next year.
The ex-Secretary of State frankly con-
fessed that his purpose in going on
speechmaking trip was to arouse puo-
lie sentiment in favor of its views to
such a pitch that President Wilson
would have to capitulate.
This announcement by Mr.. Bryan is
taken to mean that he intends the next
Democratic candidate for President TO
be a man whose views on international
affairs are the same as his own. His
break with the President emphasized
the fact that Mr.. Wilson could no
longer be counted as one in whose
views he had confidence. and that Mr..
wilson had better not go to the next
Democratic convention for renomina-
tim unless he had by that time got
around to Mr.. Bryan's wishes.

Bryan Has Political Machine.
rho effect of Bryan's resignation and
his subsequent attitude towaru
dent Wilson has caused much appre-
bonsion among Democratic leaders III
Washington. Many of the most prom
inrnt oficeholders are loyal Bryan men,
and the ex-Secretary has built up
ianre circle of fISends in the various
,lonartments here which amounts prac-
tiraIlv to a full Aedged political ma
chlne. u:,.
On the other hand, President wilson
has given little time to the question OF
no.ronage. He detests it, and more
nan once has expressed the hope that
so,, way might be found to relieve the
Chef Executive of this burden. Whlle
pr, Sident Wilson has been attending 10
,he business of the country Mr.. Bryan
h,s been attending to politics, and the
resuit is that his break with the Presi-

pears on the surface.

Comparatively few persons in wash

believed that Bryan is more contehted
