Among the close friends of William Bryan there Is no doubt that JIl Wll son will offer the Nehraskan a place In the new cabinet. They do not share tne view or Mr. Bryan enemies, how ever, that he Is likely to decline such an offer in order that he may remain free to criticise the acts of the Wilson administration with a view to securing tne Democratic nomination for Presi dent again in 181. Those who have talked with Mr. Bryan and all who know him are convinced that he.

In common with all other Democratic leaders, believe that the future suc cess of the Democratic party depends upon the success of the incoming administration, and that Instead of desiring to be In a position to embarrass the Wilson administration Mr. Bryan, In common with all other Democrats who are students of the temper of the American people, realizes that the future success of the Democratic party depends upon the administration of President Wilson being so popular with the people that only the declination of Mr. Wilson will stand In the way of his renominatlon four years hence. Democratic leaders In Congress will also take means to let Governor Wilson know Immediately after his return that In their judgment the success or failure of his administration will depend more on the selection of his Attorney General.
