sary FOR the reason that under The
present mangled condition of the New
York 'amocracy and because of other
conditions il would be impossible Ia
draw the clashing lorees together and
unity them in sentiment. M man, he
said, from New York under existing
conditions could draw out the entire
Democratic vote
This general claim is made iDregerd
to the political condition in the ismnire
| state, that the autagoutsm of the fac.
lions there is too marked TO hope for
| reconciliation through the naming of
any ono man from that State us q can
! aldate Tor President. 1T Is reported
that Senator Hill is convinced of the
TACT that neither he nor Mr.. Whitney
could hope to accomplish this and as
Tor himself he was determined to
| abandon all hope for the Presidential
nomination and bido his time until q
moro convenient season. With this
realization OF the situation in view,
Mr.. HUI has reached the conclusion, so
1t Is said, thata West rn man is the only
solntion o! tue question vi U.Inginr
out The full and undivided vote OF his
state in spite or the claim OF some OF
his conIeers that New York could
easily unite upon Whitney or Lamont.
This boom Of MIR. Morrison has taken
definite shape among politicians OF the
West With reference to h IS candidacy
in an Interview in The Times Herald
one OF his foremost frieud5 is reported
as saying
While Of course my evidence will
pe entirely partisan ana upon one
side, SAID this man to-day II can
bear witness to the fact that William
IL. Morrison is rtght 1T the front in the
race Tor tho Presidential nomination.
Senator Hill Is NOT the only Democratic
leader who believes that the nominee
OF tho party should hail from the West
nor is he alone in the Doliet that MIR.
Morrison Is the most available West
erner IN the party. He is the man who
can solldify the West and command
the support OF the solid south. Attic
same Zine his record is such as to com
nand the confidence of the East. Mr..
Morrison is pre-eminuntly sound
money mun. tic never cast IL vote Tor
free coinage while in Congress, and
ms unNarying CUnS9 was directly in
line with the sound, st financial policies
at all times. Nota particle Of evidence
