THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, APRIL 2?. 1907. But Doubts If Nebras kan Cares frg For Presidency. New York, April 22.—In an inter view given out by Colonel Henry tVattrrson, who landed from the steamer Amerlka yesterday, he said that William Jennings Bryan appeared to be alone In the campaign for the 1904 nomination. "Mr. Bryan is an Individual man with a certain following,” he said. "He li not a law-giver, ha may be a law unto himself. It remains to be seen If the fragments of the Democratic party, lying around loose, can united on a new program. ■I think that organised Democracy at the present time can see no other' alternative except Bryan. Nobody Is being seriously considered as running. I sometimes doubt whether he himself cares a fig for the presidency. For should think if he believed Democracy had a reasonable chance of carrying the country, and that he might be nominated he would be more circum spect and would show a greater sense of responsibility than he seems to be showing. •The one thing to constitute a mill, tant Democracy Is thdt we must think together. So long as wc don't, there Is no use proposing any Issue,” continued .Mr. Watteraon, speaking of the Issues of the next campaign. "The relations of franchise corporations to the public and of capital and labor are the great economic problems to be worked out In the coming year.. We are on tho threshold of their rapid developments. "I do not believe President Roosevelt wants a third term for himself. I am willing to take him at hls word.

"You know what races ;of the old world," said he,” are pouring them selves Into your land. You know what colonies of people, separated from your- •elvcs by thought, by feeling, by tradi tion, by religion, by language, are es tablished within your city boundaries and In all the great cities of the land, It Is a question as to what kind of peo ple the American people Is to become. It Is a question whether the primal American stock Is to be vitiated by the Inter-permeation of an Inferior race.
