WASHINGTON, Julp 31.-The
effect of Bryan's death on Demo
cratic rolitics is the source of much
conjecture in Washington.
Coming just at time when the
questions in which he was supreme
ly interested were uppermost in the
national mind the first guess is
that the elimination of such an in
fluential personality will count ma
terially.
The commonefs passing was so
unexpected that political Judgment
as to its significance is not imme-
diately very accurately measur-
able, but that it alters the Demo
cratic outlook decidedly is the con
sensus Of Washington opinion.
Never able to obtain much for
himself beyond numerous party in
dorsements, his influence has been
potent in deciding others fate.
