SOME EMOTION
IN LAST MEETING
President and Former Cab'
inel Associate Exchange
Blessings and Part.
WASHINGTON. D. C, June 9.
President Wilson and bis
former secretary of stato,
tt illiaro Jennings Bryan, formally
parted shortly after noon today in the
. ourse of a farewell meeting- at the
hite House. Shortly previous, Mr.
BrvanJiad left the state department,
and Robert Lansing, counselor of the
department, had been appointed by the
president as secretary of state ad in
terrm. -Fox. 15 minutes the president and
Mr Bran talked, exchanging -words
of farewell. Cordially, and withoot
ary trace of feeling, the two men dis
r issed the situation -which resulted in
Mr Bryan's resignation. Bach spoke
dispassionately of theirdlff ereacesand .
of the belief of each that the other
i. as doing what he thought best for
the United States.
Finally Mr. Bryan remarked that he
knw the president was a busy man
and that he would not detain him
longer The two men clasped bands. .
God bless you," said each.
Mr Bryan confided to friends today
trat he slept all night Tuesday nighf
for (he first time In months.
Bryan Wouldn't SIcn 3fote
Mr Bryan told his colleague as they
gathered about him in farewell at the
state department that his affection for
president Wilson was unchanged and
that he knew the president felt as
warmly toward him.
Differing not in the object sought
the prevention of war bat in the
Tr-ethod of approaching the problem,
Mr Bryan resigned rather than sign;
his name to the note which states in
unmistakable but emphatio terms the
demands of the cnited States. The note
was signed by Mr. Lansing, who aided
president Wilson in Its preparation.
Mr Bryan told his colleagues as they
gathered about him in farewell that ms
aftection for president Wilson was un
changed and that he knew the presi
dent felt as warmly toward him.
Tears stood in his eyes while friends
commended what they termed his cour
ageous fight for principle and his deter
mination t" eliminate himself rather
than continue in the cabinet as a possi
ble embarrassment to the president.
Failed to Swerve President.
The story to sway the president's
judgment as to the method of dealing
with the situation regarding Germany
fti, as yet untold. He made no effort
to align other members of the cabinet
with him and, -when he came to the
parting of the ways on an lrreeoncili
nble question of principle, he did not
tell his colleagues generally, hoping
that his action to the last would not
produce any complications in the cab
inet W III Support Wilson.
Mr Br an intends to continue a
staunch political supporter of Mr. Wil
son on domestic affairs and believes
he can even assist him in the sentiment
he hopes to build up for the principle of
investigation of disputes before hostili
ties are begun.
Other Members Ready To Quit.
That there had been friction between
the president and Mr. Bryan has been
the undercurrent of comment for sev
eral weeks, but as the president here
tofore bad always been able to secure
the acquiescence of the secretary in his
point of view, talk of resignation was
discounted generally.
It has come to light, however, that
the position of Mr. Bryan in the
cabinet recently has become very em
barrassing his advocacy of peace be
ing so pronounced that ether members
of the cabinet who felt that the United
States should assert itself irrespective
of the consequences, were understood
to have on one occasion declared their
intention of resigning if a policy of
firmness and vigor were not adopted.
Afraid Of War.
Rather than sign the document Which
he believed might possibly draw the
United States into war. Mr. Bryan sub
