V ill Not Be Disappointed
Nor Disgruntled, However,
If .Convention Fails to' Se
lect Him-Next Campaign
Will Be an Appeal to Pub
lic Conscience.
By Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nov. 14. William J. Bryan today said that he will ,
accept the democratic nomination for president in 1908, hut will
neither ask tor nor make a fight for it. He says he has been
asked to make some statement regarding his position for a year,
and he believes the public is entitled to know the position he oc-
cupies. 4
The question that will weigh most, he says, is whether his .
, nomination will strengthen the democratic party more than will
tha nomination jqf somebody else. He will not assume to decide
the question and if the nomination falls to another man he will .
not be disappointed nor disgruntled. He says nothing about the
Issues of the coming campaign, but ' declares- that republicans
must nominate either a reform, or stand patter, or one whose post-
tion on public questions are unknown.'; The course of the demo-'
cratlc party should be the same, no matter which element con-
trols the republican campaign.- The next campaign, will be an ap-
peal to public conscience. Investigations have shown that the only
source from which large campaign funds can be drawn are the
corporations which seek to convert the government Into a business
asset. The democratic party stands for the doctrine of equal
rights to "all and special privileges to none. 1 ' ' '

STOCK MARKET i
DECIDEDLY WEAK
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 14. The stock
market was decidedly weak at some
points today. Renewed liquidation
of an urgent kind was inferred to be
partly responsible for this, ', It was
suspected also that there was a cer
tain growth of activity on the part of
professional bears in the market. The
circulation from time to time of ru
mors of an unfavorable character,
which ailed of confirmation, tended
to confirm the impression. A promi
nent factor in the market was the
emphatic testimony from the iron
and steel trade of a wide reaction in
trade and the belief that it is to go
further. 1 Some high premiums were
paid on currency again early In the
day, but the tendency was toward re-
laxatlon. , ' . ' ',lli'r. i"- '
