in the police court,
Berlin. June It.—"This la too aud-
den* said William J. Bryan, with a
laugh, when he was told Monday of
the adoption by recent state conven¬
tion* of resolutions favoring his nomi¬
nation for the presidency of the Unit-
ted States in 1908. "This is the first
announcement of this news to me,”
Mr. Bryan concluded. “I have beea
off the main caravan route for some
time, and have been absorbed in what
I have been seeing and doing.”
Mr. Bryan had been moving so rap¬
idly since he left Vienna on Saturday
that letters aud telegrams for him
did not reach him until today. As to
the possibility of his nomination, he
had little to say, declaring It ia too
early to speak ot that question, but
taking up tha subject bf the politi¬
cal requirements, he said:
"Before leaving home I triad to dis¬
tinguish between Democracy and what
can properly be called socialism. De¬
mocracy recognises competition aa
legitimate and tries to preserve tha
competitive principle from attack. So¬
cialism seea competition aa aa aril
to be eliminated by public ownership
and r>i>re»tlon ot all means of produc¬
tion and distribution. While this
distinction between Democracy must
be one of. progress and reform, and
not merely of opposition to Republic¬
an policies or socialistic ideas. Ia
our fight for the absolute elimination
of private monopolls and for tha reg¬
ulation ot corporations in general, it
is nscssssry that the party shall he
free from any suspension of alliance
with tbs corporate interests that ■
been dominating American politics. To
this end campaign contribution* i
he limited to those who have the poe¬
tic interest to advance. i trust that
public sentiment will require all par¬
ties to keep their books open so that
hereafter no party will he under pri¬
vate obltgattane to ahieid corporate
offenders."’ ■*!* ';
Alluding to conditions ia the moat
Industry, Mr. Bryan said:
"The beef trust is not different in
character and methods from other
trust*. /The tendency of m privatir -
monopoly is to Increase the price of a
product and to lower i« quality. Why
should any oue expect anything else
from a trust than the lowering of
quality when a monopoly is estab¬
lished. Observe l have used the
words private monopoly, not public,
lu a private monopoly a private in¬
terest la set up against those of # the
whole people. Quite a different prin¬
ciple comes into operation when the
Interest of ail la alone In view."
Herman Riddler, ot the New York
Zeitung and Mr. Bryan had a long
talk Monday. Mr. Bryan win leave
here for St. Petersburg Tuesday and
from there wilt visit Norway and
Sweden. He will arrive in England
early in July, and then will visit
France, Italy and Switzerland. He
expects to sail on the steamer Prin¬
cess Irene from Gibraltar on August
22 and to arrive in New York on Au¬
gust 29.
