. FOR NEW LEADER
Special
Majority Believes That Bryan
Has Fought His Last Pres
idential Battle.
HIGH TRIBUTE IS GIVEN
IenitxTS of Party In Portland Gen
erally Indorse Xebraskan's Pol
icies and Praise Him as
Exemplary Citizen.
Prominent Democrats of this city are
pot agreed as to whether or not Bryan
should bs a candidate for the Presi
dency In 11S. A majority of them feel
that since the Nebraskan and his poli
cies have been repudiated three times
ty the electors of the country he should
retire from the contest permanently.
Others, however, are not so pronounced
In their vtewa and cherish the hope
that Bryan may airain be the party's
nominee, believing that in another elec
tion he could be elected. It is unani
ynously agreed by all elements within
the party that In any event Bryan will
lie a leader In Democracy for years to
come. Several Democrats, who declined
to be Interviewed, did not hesitate to
r that had Governor Johnson, of
Minnesota, been the party's nominee
this year, the result of the contest
(would have been decidedly closer.
All Praise Tlielr Leader.
The repeated defeat of Bryan In his
aspirations for the Presidency has not
depreciated the high estimate that Is
entertained of him as a citizen by the
members of his party. It is admitted
a-enerally that he future of the party
depends largely on abandoning fad and
fancy policies and hereafter confining
Jtself to conditions confronting the peo
ple rather than to theories. Practically
very Democrat Interviewed yesterday
Joined In paying a tribute of respect
to Bryan as a citizen and an advocate
of the common people. Many expressed
their opinion that the future of the
Xemocratlc party. If It shall exist at
all. depends on the continued Indorse
ment and support of those principles
for which Bryan has stood.
But at the same time there is re
flected in the appended interviews, par
ticularly that of J & Ryan, secretary
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, an Intimation that a return to
the more conservative policies, even as
advocated by the late President Cleve
land and Judge Parker, of New York,
might be advisable. Secretary Ryan is
ef the opinion that should- Harmon.
Democratic Governor-elect, of Ohio,
make good he would be a formidable
candidate for the Democrats to nomin
ate for the Presidency In 1912. Harmon
served as Attorney-General to Grover
Cleveland during the concluding year
Of his last term as President.
Always Factor for Good.
Bryan will be a strong moral force
In the country for many years to
come," said Governor George E. Cham
berlain. "Bryan has a place in the
hearts of the American people. His
record will always make him a factor
for good. Even men who differed from
Jiim politically have confidence In the
Integrity of his purpose and believe in
Ills genuine Americanism. Even now,
they will listen to him on almost any
question that he may see fit to discuss.
"In the campaign just closed the big
commercial Interests seemed to fear
Ills business Judgment, but even those
who opposed him belleed firmly in his
mnrul worth and Integrity of character.
"At present it Ir too early to say
whether Bryan will again be a polit
ical factor. Much depends upon the
future."
"Bryan Is an able man and Is so rec
ognized by the wholi world," said
Chairman Alex Sweek. of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. "In
fact, he Is looked upon as one of the
frreatest men of the age. His defeat
has not lessened the opinion the peo
ple hold of him- It Is too soon to an
nounce or to predict our candidate for
IS 11 or what our plans will be for that
year. The Democratic party Is one of
progress and It will advance along
progressive lines."
The following expressions as to the
future of the Democratic party and
Aryan's relation thereto were yester
day given by leading Democrats of this
City:
Should Not Ban Again.
J. B. Ryan, secretary Democratic
Flat Central Committee In my opin
ion Bryan should not run for the
Presidency again. The people are
frald of him and have three times re
pudiated him and his policies. At the
anme time, the people of the country
regard him as a good, true man, but
they are not willing to trust him. The
platform on which he ran in the last
election was one of the most clear-cut
en which any candidate ever went be
fore the peorle. The voters very gen
erally believed In it. but they did not
rtnve sufficient confidence In Bryan. If
Harmon makes good as Governor-elect
of Ohio. I would not be surprised to see
r.lm nominated as the candidate of the
Democracy four years hence. Bryan's
teachings will still bear fruit and his
policies will continue to be embodied In
the Democratic platform. The Demo
cratic party will continue as a political
organization, but it must give up Its
fad and fancy policies and confine it
self to conditions confronting the peo
ple rather than to theories.
Honest, Sincere and Earnest.
Mayor Lane I have nothing to say
as to whether or not Bryan should
again be candidate for President. But
I do believe that he has promulgated
policies which the people will have to
adopt for their own interests. He Is
a man who will be held in high esteem
by all right-thinking men. and he will
long live in their memories after he Is
dead. He is an honest, sincere and
earnest man.
Three Trials Are Enough.
John Manning, ex-District Attorney
I do not think Bryan will become a
candidate again in 1912. at any rate,
be should not. Bryan Is a good man
and has advanced many splendid ideas,
but he should not make a fourth at
tempt for the Presidency.
Ablest Man Since Lincoln.
Bert E. Haney. ex-Deputy District At
torney I consider that Bryan is the
cleanest, ablest and best man that has
run for President since Abraham Lincoln.
CHe is the highest type of American
citizenship In the Republic today. As for
the future of the party. I think it will
continue to go ahead as it has for the
last 13 years. If It exists at all. It will
be by supporting those policies for which
Xtryan has stood. I doubt If Bryan will
ever be nominated for President again,
feui he will remain a great leader in the

Says Policies Will Prevail.
C. K. Henry I regard Bryan as one of
the greatest Americans of today, but
have nothing to say as to whether or
not he should sguin be a candidate of
his party for President. H teachinf s
have been followed for the last 12 years
by the Republicans. Even if Bryan is
not in the Presldentialchalr, bis policies
will continue to be followed. The views
he has promulgated have been lived up
to by Roosevelt and I hope they will be
Taft. Bryan's views on moral questions
have done much to stir up and excite an
established policy of doing things right.
Roosevelt took them up and that is what
gave hlra his strength. The efforts of
President Roosevelt to curb the trusts
and to teach them that honesty Is the
best policy Is in line with Bryan's teach
ings. As to his running for President
again I do not know. I do not believe he
will.
Talks of Party's Future.
George H. Thomas, chairman Multno
mah County Democratic Central Com
mittee I have been asked to express an
opinion as to the future of the Dem'o?
cratlc party. In reply I prefer to give
a few facts and let others draw from
them food for an opinion. The Republi
can party has been in power for 12 years.
has had both branches or congress lor
that time. The Republicaps have had
complete control of the oftices of 30 of
the 45 states. Mr. Taft had behind him
about O,0O0 Postmasters and their as
sistants and families and friends. Then
there were United States Marshals,
Survey or-Generals. United States District
Attorneys, Land Office officials, etc., etc..
In number about 300.000 Federal otnee
holders scattered into every county In the
United States. Mr. Taft had behind him
Andrew Carnegie and all his wealth, John
D. Rockefeller and all the Standard oil
interests; EX H. Hamman and James J.
Hill and the railroad Interests. He also
had the United States Senators from 3C.
states out campaigning for him while
the President and his Cabinet were doing
likewise, using all of the influence that
this mighty army could exert in a system
atic campaign in every precinct in the
land. Besides all this there were sdoui
1.600.000 idle voters thrown out of em
ployment during the Republican panic in
17. listening to Mr. Taft and his backers
that if Taft should be elected iney wouia
be put to work without delay.
- On the other hand was Mr. Bryan with
a party somewhat disfigured from former
political battles, the state administrations
of 12 states as compared with 30 for Mr.
Taft. the United States Senators of 11
states as compared with those of 31 states
for Taft, not a single Federal office
holder at his back, with four-fifths of the
newspapers of the country against him,
and with only a small percentage of the
banking and business Interests of the
country in his favor. In Oregon he was
supported by only three dallies and as
many weeklies, while Mr. Taft had the
support of about 200 publications.
The result of the election shows en
couraging results for Democratic reflec
tion. For Instance. Mr. Bryan carried his
own state of Nebraska which Roosevelt
carried four years before by "a plurality
of Sfi.682. Bryan cut down the Republican
plurality in Ohio from 255,000 to 70,000 or
less, and In Colorado he converted a Re
publican plurality of 34.S82 Into a plurality
for himself. Republican pluralities in
other states were reduced as follows:
California. 116,000 to 60.000; Connecticut,
from 3R.O00 to 20.000; Illinois, from 305,000
to 175,000; Indiana, 63.900 to 10.000; Kansas,
126.000 to 25.000; Oregon 42.900 to 24,000.
Instead of being a party that Is
dying. It seems to me that the Demo
cratic party In the recent election
proved Itself a lively corpse. I have
nothing to say as to whether or not
Mr. Bryan will again be the nominee
of the Democratic party for the Pres
idency. Four years Is a long time
away.
Policies Are Correct Ones.
Oglesby Young The principles and
the policies advanced by Bryan are the
correct principles and policies of gov
ernment. They were the policies found
ed upon democratic opinions, that made
Roosevelt popular with the masses.
Whether or not Mr. Bryan will be the
chief exponent of these policies In 1912
I cannot say. Whether he will or not,
it is certain that his policies will grow
in favor and they will ultimately be
adopted by the people. If Mr. Taft pur
sues the policy outlined by President
Roosevelt in his several messages to
Congress last Winter the Democrats
Individually and as a party will Indorse
him. At the recent election I believe
the mass of the Democratic party
wanted to dethrone the trusts and they
voted with the stronger party, believing
that the plans of the Democracy, adopt
ed by President Roosevelt, would be
carried out. If Mr. Taft carries out
these policies we shall thank him fer
vently. As to our future policy, I be
lieve we shall take up the wishes of
the people for the Improvement of
National Government, as we have al
ways done in the past. Then the other
party will steal our thunder.
Hopes He Will Quit Running.
William Foley I voted for Bryan,
as usual, but I hope he never comes
up for election again. My only ob
jection to him is that he has had
three trials and failed each time. I
believe the party should return to
Cleveland principles and policies. We
certainly should not have taken up
Bryan In the first place. A strong
man of Cleveland principles would
have carried the day In 1896, and we
probably would have enjoyed 12 years
of blessed Democratic rule since that
time if such a man had led us to
victory.

BERLIN, Nov. 7. Count Johann Hein
rlch von Bernstorff, who recently has
represented the German government in
Egypt, has been selected by Emperor
William to succeed the late Baron Speck
von Sternberg as Ambassador to Amer
ica. Countess von Bernsfbrff is a daugh
ter of Edward Luckemeyer.of New York.
The appointment has not yet been made
officially, but It is understood that an of
ficial announcement will be given out
without two or three days.
Count von Bernstorff was assigned
lately to Egypt. He was first diplomatic
agent and Consul-General at Cairo, but
was elevated to the rank of Minister
Plenipotentiary early In 1908. He is the
fourth son of Count Albrecht von Bern
storff. a distinguished contemporary of
Bismarck, and was born In London In
1862, while his father was German Am
bassador to the Court of St. James. The
new Ambassador began his diplomatic
career in 1899, when he was made at
tache at Constantinople. From Turkey
he was transferred to the Foreign Office
In Berlin, from where he advanced from
one grade to another, serving In Belgrade,
Dresden, St. Petersburg and Munich. He
was counsellor of the Embassy and first
secretary in London In 1902.
While in England the Count came espe
cially under the notice of Emperor Will
lam as a result of his work in amelior
ating the existing ill-feeling against Ger
many. He drew up a series of lucid and
comprehensive dispatches on the situa
tion. After four years of service In Lon
don, he was sent to Cairo. In the Ger
man diplomatic service this post is re
garded as a stepping stone towards ad
vancement. The Count married Miss Jennie Lucke

CLACKAMAS DOCKET HEAVY
Important Damage Suits Before Dis
trict Court at Oregon City.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 7. (Special.)
Tonight ended the first week of the
most important term of Circuit Court
that Clackamas County has had in years.
Three damage suits were on trial this
week, those of Charles A. Warren against
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company for J10.000, Mrs. Rose Nehren
against Ernest Matthies, for $5000 in
which the Jury failed to agree and George
Joggi against the Willamette Pulp &
Paper Company for $20,460, which will be
concluded Monday.
In the Warren case the company con
fessed liability, and Judge McBride has
reserved his decision assessing the
nmount of the damages. Warren was
struck by a conductor over an alterca
tion about the payment of his fare.
The Matthies-Xehren damage suit grew
out of the ejectment of Mrs. Nehren from
Matthled' saloon, which she had entered
to remonstrate against the sale of liquor
to her husband. The jurors were out 18
hours. H. W. Hively, William Tucker,
James Dickey, James Marquam, W. H.
Boring and Ed Graves favored a verdict
for Matthies, but I. D. Larklns, Seth D.
Cook, A. N. Hult, Frank Fish, C. B. Bun
nell and George Owings wanted to see
Mrs. Nehren obtain damages. The Jury
stood six to six from the beginning to
the end.
The suit of Dr. E. A. Sommer against
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company for damages, and the suit of
the Commercial Bank against J. T. Ap
person, Thomas Charman, Henry Mel
drum and H. H. Johnson for $8000 prin
cipal and Interest on a promissory note
is set for the third week of the term.
Next week will be devoted to crimlnnal
cases, and Judge McBride has announced
his Intention of disposing of all of them,
though many civil suits will necessarily
have to go over until an adjourned term
in January.
