Bryan today heard gratifying reports regarding the present outlook as affecting the candidacy for president of the United States.

Altogether he- had one of the busiest days since his nomination. In addition to some traveling men, the visitors Included Representative Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the committee on notification; a delegation of Christian Scientists from various parts of the country and 300 members of the Epworth League, to whom he delivered a brief address. Knowledge of the fact that General Henry Douglas of New York City had organized a Bryan and Kem Club, composed of Southerners residing in the Etmplre state, brought unbounded pleasure io Mr. Bryan.

The Information was collected In a letter received at Falrvlew today. General Douglas, who Is a native of Maryland, commanded a brigade in General Lee's corps, to which Colonel Bryan's third Nebraska regiment was attached. The success of Adlai D. Stevenson, Mr. Bryan's running mate in 1900, In the recent Illinois primaries for the governorship, attracted the particular notice of the Democratic candidate.

I take no part in the contests between Democrats before the convention, or primaries," he said, "I am su I will be pardoned In this case If 1 btiy that while we had a number of worthy. Democrats aspiring to the governorship of Illinois, no one among them was superior in his qualifications to Mr. Stevenson. I believe he will make a very strong candidate and will greatly aid the national ticket." The visit of Henry George, lasted an hour. His opposition to the idea of the guaranty of bank deposits was well known to Mr.

Bryan, but that will not prevent his supporting the Democratic ticket, for he said he wanted to see Democracy win in November. George is nearlng the end of an extensive lecture tour and when DEAF AND DUMB GIRL CHARGES FRANK VALENCIA WITH ASSAULT Frank Valencia, a youug Mexican living In Kern, wa3 arrested laat night on the charge ot attempted criminal assault.

Bryan. "This is the first time in many years except In the case of Representative Llttlefleld of Maine," said Mr. George, "that President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has been in a political fight. It is very significant." In the course of lectures in Kansas and Nebraska, Mr. George, in order to test the temper of his audiences on the present situation, casually mentioned the name of Mr.

Bryan. He told the Democratic nominee that if the enthusiasm displayed was true feeling, those states were surely Democratic. Mr. George left on the late train for the west.

Tho political situation In Illinois was of more than usual Interest to Bryan, but he declined to be intfr- vlewed on the subject. He said, however, that perhaps after thinking the matter over he might make a statement some time during the day, giving expression to views regarding that situation.

Sentiment Strong For Bryan. Representative Clayton of Alabama chairman, and Dr. William McClure, oi Sodalla, a member of the notification committee, came out to Fairview in the early morning and were in conference wlht Bryan for some time "You can say that I have every confidence in the election of Bryan and Kern," said Clayton.
