Privileges : “.to None. According to an Associated Press report from Lincoln, Neb., William J. Bryan will accept the Democratic nomination for President in = 1908, but he will neither ask nor make a fight for it. He says that for a year or more he has been pressed to answer the ques- tion, “Will you accept momination?” #hd he believes the public is entitled to anfanswer. The question that ought to weigh mosi, he says, is whether his nomina- tion will sirengihen the Democratic party more than the nomination of some one else. Not cnly will he ant seek or ask for the nomination, bat he will not assume to decide the question of avaiiability; and if tlie prize falls: to another he will neither pe disaopointed nor disgruntled. At the same time he declares he has waited this long in a desire to se» whom the Republicans are likely to nominate, so as to ascertain the chance of victory. His availability decided mot by - ieaders, no! even newspapers that ~ 2all © themselves Democratic, “ut by the voters of the party, and to them he entrusts the lecision of the question: they are the supreme court in all matters concerning candidates, as they are in all matters concerning the plat- form. ‘I'he Republicans either a reformer, a stand-patter or one whose position on public ques- tions is unknown,” szid Mr. Bryan, “and the course of the Democratic party should be the same, no matter which element controis the Republi- can convention. The Democratic party must make the fight for what it believes. While it may take ad vantage of Republican mistakes, it must depend upon its own merits for success and not on the errors of its opponents. ta is a queslion to be him, not by a few by tlie leading must nominate “The action of the Republican con- | vention may have its -infiuence the determining of the availability of Democratic candidates, but it ought not to have any influence in determining the question whether the one chosen by the Democrats should accept the nomination.” If the rank and file cratic party desire Mr. Bryan make the race, he will make it, matter “who may be the Bepiican nominee.
