BRYAN EFFORT
ATFRISCOHIS
VALEDICTORY
Commoner No Longer Poll
tician, Just a Splendidly
Eloquent Preacher.
CHEER HIS PAST CAREER
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.

BY WILLIAM y. S7 7EP7 Emu
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan is soon going to
pack up with the rest Of US and going
home
What he takes back with him will
be mostly memories.
For the first time since that golden
day when he hit the American people
right in the center ftheT imagina-
tions and as a silver-tongued stran-
ger won the nomination for the presi-
dency, he has failed to dominate his
party's convention.
The years do strang things.
Today that man. who FIVE conventions
ago rose in all his youthful might and
drew forth tributes that rocked the very
United States, stood on the platform, a
hale and smiling old man, no longer a
politician. but only a spiendidly eloquent
preacher
And when his sermons were ended his
congregation rose and with an enthu-
siasm that came from the heart, spent n
good half hour In cheers and songs and
shouting, In showing the hearty old man
that the past was not forgotten.
And he, who in other days had expert
eneed all the thrills that can come TO a
man who has the adulation Of the crowds,
stood on the platform wiping the tears
from his eyes with one hand and hold
ing a great bouquet Of flowers in the
other.
sALUTATORY
HEARD IN 1896.
We had heard the valedictory Of the
great American whose salutatory Of 1906
was still fresh N our minds.
In spite Of the nttle-indeed. l may
safely say, nothing-that he gained in
this convention, no man here worked so
hard as Bryan.
Always smiling and rejoicing in the
conflict, he put in from twenty 10 twenty.
two hours a day during convention week
I watched him purposely during the
week TO see what prodigies Of work be
might accomplish.
He came to this convention TO conquer
Wilson.
He goes, with Wilson unconquered.
From the very first II was apparent 10
everybody that Bryan would not be able
to dictate TO the party what candidate
should be chosen.
With his own state delegation divided.
he could not hope to dominats the nom
ination.
He chose to put the battle on other
grounds There were few things beside
the nomination that he could start a
fight about.
One OF these was the dry plank; the
other issues he chose were decidedly side
issues
PLANNED HOW
To GAIN GOALS.
For hours and hours after he arose al
the st. Francis hotel early IN the morn
ing he would meet with old friends and
plan with them how to gain the goals
hs had set for himself.
He never bre" kfasted alone.
He had secured a place on the plat
form committee and It was in the com
mittee rooms that he made his response
to Wilson's challenge.
He demanded that his ideas be put in
the platform.
Carter II. Glass, representing Wilson,
met Bryan's attack.
In conferences. In committee sessions.

preparation for the recess which
will be taken until January 10.
Allied delegates planned to meet
apart this afternoon for the pur-
pose of exchanging views and
reaching a common accord which
will be reflected in reports to the
governments.
German delegates still are work
ing on the list of questions sub
mitted by the allies, which covers
a wide range. 1t is inferred from
some of the questions that the al
lied experts believe indirect taxa
ton in Germany is not high enough,
the Germans being asked whether
their taxes on alcohol, beer, to-
bacco, and sugar are as high as
those on the same products IN
France and Great Britain. Other
questions concern the German fin
ancial policy relative to taxation OF
wealthy citizens and possible tax
increases within a year or two.
Delegates have been pledged to
secrecy, but there is a general i'm
preston they will recommend that
their governments permit Germany
to keep some of the $4,000 tons of
shippings she was ordered to sur
render under the Versailles treaty.
