managers and by Candidate Bryan himself.

Murphy, James K. Mcclure, Norman E.
Mack, Senator McCarren and the other New
York managers made SO strong a case that
Bryan was captivated. even as Stone OF
Missouri and Richardson of Tennessee al
ready had been, with the idea that the
democrats have a chance of carrying New
York, and with it win the presidency.
All the money and all the effort of the dem
oCratic leaders, ii is stated. will be directed
now to this one purpose, for they have be-
come convinced of the truth OF the old
political adage, LAS New York state goes.
