THE DEMOCRATIC
VICE PRESIDENCY
Twenty-Five or More Prominent Mer
are Named as Possibilities
for the Place.

PHILADELPHIA, June M.--The North
American will publish tomorrow morning
the result of a canvass of the editors OF
prominent newspapers through the United
States as to the logical running mate OF
BRYAN. in view OF the selection Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt by the Republican Ma
tional Convention as the Vice-Presldentlal
candidate.
There is wide divergence of opinion, at
least twenty-five Democrats OF more or
less prominence being named as possibill-
ties. strong running mates for Colonel
Rryan. The list of favocites includes such
Democrats as forner Senator David B.
Hill of New York; Richard Croker. Jo-
seph Pulitzer, editor and proprietor OF the
New York World; William R. Hearst OF
the New York Journal; Senator Tillman.
Shively, of Indiana: General Fitzhugh
Lee. Robert Pattison, of Pennsylvania:
Admiral Dewey and Joseph Wheeler. One
California editor suggests Enelio Agui-
naldo. The tabulated vote shows a dec.d-
cd preference for Hill, of New York, but
no man has clear majority
Another fayorite is Hearst. He IS al
most as strong as HIll. General Wheeler
is another whose name the editors be-
lieye would be a strong one to con1ure
with.
Admiral Dewey finds little favor. Pat
fison, of PENNSYLVANIA, is regarded by
many as a strong candidate. and Fitzhush
Lee is held by not a few to be the one
man who can match the popularity of
