An' an nouncement circulated from Wash ington yesterday to the effect that William Jennings Bryan has been of fered and will accept the position of Secretary, of State in Woodrow Wil son's Cabinet was based upon. the, per sonal speculations of a Southern mem ber of Congress. ; The member . of Congress, in question today explained that ( he: had no .information either from President-Elect Wilson or from Mr. Bryan, and that he had not meant to convey the impression created by those .who circulated the story.. .

Then there is no reason to ; doubt that Mr. Bryan is seeking the Demo- alternative of iden'lfying or not iden tifying himself with the Wi'son ad ministration is regarded as an em- j unaer tne present conamons to one term. If Wilson shou'd seek a re nomination,. it xis, foreseen that Bryan, if the premier of : the Wilson Cabinet and ; yet an opponent of; the - New Jersey - man,' would be charged with disloyally.
