IN POLITICS All MY LIFE"
Ex-Secretary Says Republicans Have
No ProsMX't3 Now Only Possibil
ity Which Depends Cpun Reunion
of Divided Forces.
PORTLAND, Ore., July 31. In an
authorized interview Bryan reviewed
the achievements of the democratic
administration and in answer to the
question "Will you be a candidate for
the democratic presidential nomina
tion next year," replied in part as fol
lows: "I have no political expectations
whatever and no plans looking to the
holding of office in the future. The
work which I have mapped out for
my remaining years does not include
occupying any political position."
"It is enough for those who are un
friendly to know I shall remain in
polities for the rest of my life." Hry-
an continued, "and that it will be my
purpose hereafter as it has been here
tofore to advocate that which I be
lieve to be good for the masses of the
people and to expose and oppose the
plunderbund whenever it shows its
hand."
Commenting on the prospects of the
republican party In the next campaign
Bryan said:
"They have no prospects, they have
simply possibilities, and these possi
bilities depend largely upon Mr.
Roosevelt. If he decides to maintain
an independent organization and is
either a candidate himself or supports
some other progressive, the republican
party will remain divided and there
will be little chance for the success o!
either branch of the republican party
as long as the party is divided. If
Roosevelt goes back to the republican
party he will carry back with him
those progressive republicans who
h-tt-tt.f pit rt"-otrt-irf jserwHi-.il' attach
ment to him. while the democratic
party can hope to gain the snpport of
progressives who really opposed re
publicanism as represented by the
leadership of the regular republican
party."
l'ryan continued: "This answer
covers every contingency and ought to
be satisfactory 'to all classes except
one. There is one class in this coun
try that has Insisted I should promise
never under any circumstances to bo
a candidate for anything. I have
never felt it necessary to gratify this
class by making a promise of that
kind and I don't think it necessary
to make that kind of a promise now."
