MR. BRYAN STILL HAS VIEWS.
There hnH been a good deal of specu
lation since the election as to whether
Mr. Bryan’s latest and most crushing
defeat may have cooled his ambition for
political preferment, and whether he
will likely be induced to become a can
didate for the Presidency four years
hence. Mr. Brynn passed through Los
Angeles on Monday last with his family,
and during a brief stop made in that
city he was interviewed by a newspa
per reporter.
In answer to the direct question,
"Will you run for the Presidency
again if conditions arise to warrant
it?’’ Mr. Bryan promptly dictated
the following: "My friends do not re
quire me to prejudice the future, and I
shall not take the advice of my oppo
nents on this subject. I shall continue
to write and speak in defense of things
which I believe to be good ior the
American people. I hope it may never
become necessary to run for office
again, but 1 will not attempt to decide
that question until the time comes to
act. 1 do not see any necessity to say
more on the subject.’’
Regarding the future of the Demo
cratic party he said: "I am not at all
discouraged as to the future of the
Democratic party. There must be a
Democratic party in every country,
and 1 want our party to be Democrat
ic; and I have no doubt that the coun
try will sec the necessity for the adop
tion of the reforms advocated by the
Democratic party. It is already a
great educational force, and 1 have no
doubt that conditions will so indicate
the party as to make the voters turn
to it as the best instrument for the ac
complishment of the necessary re
forms.”
Mr. Bryan is a great man, and one of
the finest characters that this country
bus ever known in public life. No citi-
izen of the United States has ever en
joyed in more flattering degree the ad
miration of the masses; but, from some
cause, the conservative element among
the voting population in those States
recognized as the battleground in Pres
idential contests are afraid of him.
The same element supported Cleveland
in the two campaigns in which he was ' official ballot.
Executive Committee Adopts Rules
for City Primary.
]. A primary election will be held in
the city of Newnan on Monday, Nov.
30, 1908, for the purpose of nominating I
four candidates for the office of Aider-
man, and four candidates for member
ship on the City Board of Education.
2. The polls will be opened at 8
o’clock a. rn., at the Council Chamber
in said city, and close at 7 o’clock p. m.
3. Three managers will be appointed
by this committee, together wiLh the
necessary number of clerks to conduct
the election, and it shnll be their duty
to keep two tally-sheets and two lists
of voters, showing the name ot each
voter and the total number of votes
polled.
4. Any white voter of lawful voting
age who shall have resided in this State
twelve months just preceding the date
of the election, and who shall have
registered for the regular city election
to be held in said city on the first Sat
urday in December, 1908, and who shall
have paid all taxes required of him,
and who may be qualified to vote at
said regular election, and will agree to
support the several candidates who
may be nominated, shall be qualified to
vote in said primary.
G. The four candidates for the office
of Alderman and the four candidates
for membership on the City Board of |
Education who may receive a plurality
of the votes cast in said primary elec
tion shall be declared the nominees,
and as such will be entitled to the sup
port of the white voters of said city in
the regular election.
6. The official ballot to be used in
said primary will be prepared and fur
nished by this committee, and shall
contain the names of all the candi
dates for the several offices named.
To entitle a ballot to be officially count
ed for persons as candidates for Aider-
man the names of four candidates run
ning for Alderman must appear there
on ; and to entitle a ballot to be offi
cially counted for membership on the
Board of Education, the names of four
candidates running in said election for
said office must appear thereon. Pad
ding a ticket with names in substitu
tio'i for the names of those regularly
announced and recognized as candi
dates will not he allowed, and any part
of a ticket so padded will be thrown
out in the official count: Provided, that
failure to strike the requisite number
of names from any portion or division
of the ticket will not invalidate the
portion or division which may be prop
erly scratched; and if a portion or di
vision of any ticket should conform to
the rules of this committee and a por
tion or division be not in conformity
with such rules, the portion or division
which may be regular and legal shall
be counted.
7. At the same time and place, and
under the same rules and regulations,
seven executive committeemen will be
chosen, each for a term of two years.
8. The expenses incurred in holding
said election, including the printing of
tickets and compensation of managers
and clerks, will bo assessed by this
committee on the several candidates,
which assessment must be puid in to
the secretary by 10 o’clock p. m. on
Friday, Nov. 27, 1908. Anyone not pay
ing the assessment by that time will be
deemed ana considered not a candidate,
and his name will not be put on the
successful, and it seems useless for
the Democratic party to hope for vic
tory without tho support of the inde
pendent voters of the East and Middle
West. This fact is so well recognized
now as to admit of no dispute. It is a
perfectly safe assumption, therefore,
that Mr. Bryan will not again go be
fore the country as a candidate for the
Presidency—not as the standard-bearer
of the Democratic party, at any rate,
which is equal to saying that he has
practically resigned his leadership, and
in future will be less conspicuous in
the councils of the party—perhaps a
less aggressive force in national af-
fuirs.
But Mr. Bryan will alwayrf be a great
man, and as it is not supposed that he
will abandon politics altogether, he may
come to the fore again, and loom as
grandly and dominantly before the
country as ever.
Poor’s Manual show* the total mile
age of the steam railroads of the
United States to have been 228,128 on
Dee. 31, 1907, representing an increase
ot trackage for the year of 6,362 miles.
The total capital liabilities at the date
mentioned amounted to $16,501,413 S09,
showing an increase of $907,864,112, of
which $351,177,809 is represented by
stock. The bonded indebtedness, which
generally represents actual borrow
ings, was increased by about $555,000,-
000—an amount ten per cent, greater
than that which Jas. .1. Hill declared
tiie railroads would need to borrow ev
ery year for ten years if their equip
ment should be brought up to a stand
ard eomfofmable to the requirements
of the country’s trade.
The postal deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1908, amounted to SU>,-
910.2711. The receipts were $191,478,-
663. (being $7,898,657 greater than the
previous year), and the expenditures
$208,351,886. The deficit is the largest
in the history of the Postoffiee Depart
ment. An analysis of the figures
shows that $9,891.3231 represents the
advance in the rate of compensation
authorized by Congress for employees
of the railway mail service, rural de
livery service, city delivery 'service,
and assistant postmasters and clerks in
posto dices.
The decrease in the earnings of tho
Central of Georgia railway from July 1
to Uct. 1 amounted to $331,000.
