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. But never

What Mr. Bacon Says.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia: "Mr.
Bryan hss not only all ths strength he
formerly had In th* Democratic party,
but h* now haa also the support of ths
majority of the conservatives of both
the Democratic and Bepubllcan par
