TOOSTRONC.FOR PARTY
tP.bIic Ledger service,

Democratic leaders are confident
William Jennings Bryan will not
accept the Prohibition Party's NOM
ination for President. They say he
IL too consistent a Democrat and
would not think of taking action
that would automatically read him
out Of the party. A Democrat close
ly affiliated with the Nebraskan.
said last night:
Bryan Is a good loser. He is sick
at heart over his defeat at San
Francisco. but he will live to fight
again. He wants to fight within
the Democratic party. not outside
of or against IL. He knows that IL
he ran on an opposition Presiden-
tial ticket this year, IL would for
ever destroy whatever influence he
possesses in the party. and that is
not inconsiderable."
The Democratic view, generally
expressed in Washington yesterday
to the effect that a Bryan-prohibi-
ton ticket would be more danger
Gus to Harding than Cox, Is not
shared in G.. o. p. circles. In those
quarters the view prevails that
Bryan's personal popularity. being
almost exclusively within the Dem
ocratic party, would sap strength
from that direction rather than
from the Republican ticket.
Neither was the Democratic view
that Bryan and his dry friends re-
gard the drink question as set
tied" approved by Republican lead
ers. They explained that the very
fact that the Lincoln convention is
nominating a candidate for Presi-
dent on an out-and-out dry plat
form is evidence that the "drys"
are bent upon more complete and
final settlement of the liquor issue
than has yet been achieved.

CARLETON GEE CLUB
| Will. VISIT BEMlDJl

Mortified, Mimi, Dec. lS.-The
Carleton college Glee Club has been
working hard in preparation for the
annual spring concert tour. So far
the twenty-four men who will make
the trip have not been chosen. but it
is certain that of the thirty-siX men
singing at present, e. S. Ender, di-
rector, will be able to pick a club Of
unusual quality to represent the COL
lege during the Easter recess.
\ Although no definite bookings have
been made. it is hoped that the club
will be able to tour northern Mimi
esota, taking in St. Colud. Little
Falls, Brainerd, Fergus Falls, Bemid-
il, Nashwauk, Virginia, Hibbing, Du-
luth, and other cities in the northern
section.
In addition to the regular concert
numbers, the program this year will
include several numbers by r. Cald-
erwood, who was very enthusiastic
cally received, as a reader, last year.
1t is probable that soloist will also
accompany the club. The musical
numbers by the club will be varied
including college, melodies, popular
songs and several more classical Sc
lections. Certain it is that this club
will uphold the reputation which
other Carleton Glee clubs have made
during the tWenty-four previous
tours.
