Continued from Pag* One. begun the Democratic Indorsement of Mr. Bryan as their candidate for president In 1901 bide fair to become unanimous. No less significant than the formal Indorsements of the several state con ventions are the opinions expressed by the party leaders In every section of the country. Interviews with promi nent Democrats show that the Bryan leaven Is working throughout the coun try. Opinions of Democrats, ■ Hare are some of the opinions ex pressed recently on the Bryan move ment by Democratic leaders of nation al prominence: ■ In calling the Indiana Democratic convention to order, Benjamin K. Shively, the chairman of the conven tion and a former, candidate for gov ernor of the Hoosler state, said: “That v z “ R van SAYS HE IS MARRIED; HE SAYS HE IS NOT ed statesmanship In vtlt was, only, a few years ago, de nounced as revolutionary, reactionary and unpatriotic In William Jennings Bryan. The aftersight of the on* le almost equal to the foresight of the other." Former Senator Jones, of Arkansas, said: "I believe Bryan Is the logical candidate and will be the nominee, and If he makes the race I think he will be elected." Former Mayor Carter If. Harrison, of Chicago: "Bryan will be the Demo- critic candidate for the presidency In 1909. He Is certainly the most distin guished American In private life to day." No Doubt in His Mind. Congressman John'A. Kellher, of Massachusetts: "There la not a parti' da of doubt In my mind that Mr. Bry an will be the next nominee of the Democratic party," Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky have long been of the opinion that Mr. Bryan would ba the party’s nominee In 1909. He will enter that contest far stronger than ever before, and I be lieve he will be elected over any man whom the Republicans can name." Congressman Timothy Sullivan, New York: “Bryan will ba the next nominee and the next preeldent of the United Statee. New York will go Into the convention with s eolld Bryan del egation, and Hlehard croker will head It. After the last national convention Mr. Croker declared that If he ever went to another Democratic national convention he wanted to be able to cast a vote for Bryan, and this time he will get the chance." From Governor David R. Francis, of Missouri: "Thera seems to be on* sentiment concerning the next stand ard bearer of the Democratic party. This sentiment pervades tbs hearts and the minds of the Democrats of' the na tion. I have differed with Mr. Bryan on a question of principles.
