(By Winlield Jones. ) Washington, Jan. 10 llarkmg bark to the uineties, when populism flourished in Kansas, and other parts of the Union, there has been ''oiive.d in Washington during the pa.it tew -'days, talk of a third party. The activities of William Jennings liryan, in holding conferences with progressives of the Republican sen ate has led to. the gossip that 'here may be before the next campatg i is fought Out a party formed of 'the more radical w ings of both of M old line parties. The prospects for this 'are i""' eially encouraging In the event that ".President; Tuft and Gov, J udsori I i Mi llion, of Ohio, are the opposing He publican and Democratic candidates lit the-191 Z campaign. Wise poli tlcol prophets do not see how, con sidering his past -performances, Wil liam Jennings Bryan can ever oring himself to support Governor H.'ir mon, should he be nominated. On the other hand the followers of Sen ator La Follette, himself now a can didate for the presidential nomina tion, are unable to contemplate auy possible change iu La Folic! te's mind that would result in his -.iving even passive support to '.President Taft. ' What Is true of these two progres sive' loaders is true to a large ex tent of their more radical folio a erg. La Follette hus a large follow ing In the progressive Republican ranks. William Jennings Bryan dis pito the fact that he has been three times defeated for the presidency, is perhaps the most dominant figure in the Democratic, party today. .Lot Itryun say, the word and thousands of Democrats will Tall in lino belii.nl him to support whatever candidate ha may name. It is the fear of this still potent Bryan personality that bus prompted candidates and near candidates to seek out the Netiaa- kan. in the hope that he may smile upon them. When William Jennings'. Bryan came to Washington to aUeutl the deliberations of the Democratic na tional convention and the Jackson Day dinner, the first person he met at the Union station was none oilier than Senator Robort IL La Follette. The three times Democratic leader and the would-be Republican presi dent retired to a bench in the ro tunda' of the station and there con versed earnestly for, ten mluutes. Meanwhile members of the Demo cratic reception committee waited In thje OHlng , . , jwhftn i the' 'conference wan over1, both' Mr: .Bryan arid Mr. La Fol lette solmenly declared thai they had IT IN STRIKE DISTRICT i Lawrence, Muss., Jan. 16. -No further disturbances wero reported this morning In tho textile workers' strike.

Cincinnati, Jan. lO.--Thoroaa F. McClure, woo was president of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Com pany when It was closed by oxnmln ri two months ago dropped dead In tho federal buUdlu. McClure was In dicted (or receiving deposits when ho knew the bank was" Insolvent. Number of Paid Sxibscribers in talked of nothing save the possibility of the passage of the pending ' bill for the direct election of senators. Both of the progressive leaders, it was stated in an -off-hand mnnn-'TJ are in favor of the passage of th" bill. Doubting Democratic and Ropu.b llcau Thomasi'es shook their neuds. Tiio whisper went around that the two progressives must have talked of Bill Taft; and Jud Harmon, and i he reasons, from the. progressive standpoint, that they should not he elected. Third party talk is abroad in the 'atmosphere, and it continue;: until this day. Mr. Bryan-slipped' back into rown again a few days later, and nad an earliest ronference with sinai-or Borah, of Idaho, another progressive Republican, whose nominaiion ks vice-president has been suggested bv sonic regulars as a son to tin; Vi furgeut wing of the Republican party. Again, was ii slated tnai Mr. Bryan and Senator Borah had wilt ed of the direct election ot senators. When asked about the .mysterious conference Senator Borah averred that Mr. Bryan was deeply inte'-st.od in the direct election of senators by the direct vote of the people and that he, "Borah.-, was likewise inter ested, because he happened to ae the iuitlior of the bill to bring ;siieu a thing about. It was denied th.it ir. Bryan had mentioned a third tiaity, or even the presidential put ii'i r 1 primary' system. -'No, Indeed. .user ed the Idaho senator. They talked only of the crying need lor '.he di rect election bill. Nevertheless when it became nois ed' abroad in the polil iral. cnvh's oi Washington that Mr. Bryan hud seen lit 'to seek, out another insurgent leader ot the upper chamber the talk would not down that third paivvism was apiin on tan. Colonel Bryan's well known niu: polhy for. Governor Harmon has been exploited of late. Ilrvan has left no stone unturned to intimate to his closest friends that the Demo cratic party f ill make a mistake ;1 Harmon is named as the standard bearer for 1912. Senator La Toi lette in private conversation dim on the slump, 'lias made 'unmistakable his position that President Ta:t not. only should not be renominated nut that lie cannot be re-elected.

I have no doubt that current talk in the district abundantly justi fies the entire story, but as in mat ter of fact, I am not a candidate for congress. A great many people have mentioned the matter to me, but I have uniformly told them I .outd not entortaln the suggestion.
