In trying to arouse and further your political aspirations cunnjr the pan few years I have been actuated solely by the belief that waa rendering a distinct public service. "The real point at the time of our Interview was. as you aptly put It. ona simply 'of fact and of business.' and when you atated the fact to be that my support waa hurting your candl d icy. and that you were experiencing o.fflculty la finding a way to counter act Ita harmful effect, the only thing possible for me to do. In simple fair cesa to too. no lesa than la consider atlon of my own self-respect, waa to relieve you of your embarrassment, so far as It lay within my power to do i, by ceasing to advocate your nomi nation.

Tou will ti.lr.k me very stu pid, but I did not think of that as the result of my blunt answer to your ques tion. I thought only of the meana of convincing people of the real Indepen dence of the Weckiya position. You wilt remember that that was what we TMSCVSSED. and now that I have un intentionally put you In a false and embarrassing position, you heap coals of fire on ray head by continuing to give out Interviews favorable to my candidacy.

The contest in Missouri between Speaker Clark and ex-Governor Folk he described as "distinctly unfortun ate." "Whatever the result of the pri maries," Mr. Bryan said, "it is to be feared that either of the contestants will have weakened his chances of car rying Missouri In the general election. "It was a mistake that the Clark men would not accept the Stephens suggestion,, a tiling I heartily ap proved, that the two Missouri men di vide the vote of the state on the first ballot in the National convention and that the one who received the largest support In the delegations from other states take the full vote of the delega tlon afterward." "How about the letter Governor Wil son wrote to A. H. Jollne several years ago?" Mr. Bryan was asked. "A shining Illustration that Mr. Wll son is the best modern example of Saul of Tarsus," Mr. Bryan exclaimed. "He haa been soundly converted.
