A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Washing on says:
Some of the most active Southern Demo-
cratic leaders have begun to look around
for an available candidate for the Presi-
dercy in whose interests to concentrate
their efforts. Two men whose names
are being canyassed more seriouly than
any other are Rear-Admiral W. S. Schley
and former United States Senator Arthur
P. German.
Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas,
confirms statement previously given
currency that he is in favor of the nomi-
nation of Mr. German. Mr.. Bailey said
to THE Sum- correspondent that he
wanted to see Mr.. German nominated for
the Presidency by the Democratic party;
that he regarded Mr.. German as man
whose nomination by the Democratic
party would require no apology or ex-
PLANTATION, and that he believed the nomi-
nation would be the strongest that could
be made.
Representative L. F. Livingston, of
Georgia, is another Southern man who
openly advocates at this time the nomi-
nation of Mr.. German. He told The
Sun" correspondent that a strong senti.
ment was manifest among Democrats in
the Middle South in favor of Mr.. Cor
mans nomination. and that Mr.. German
would, in his opinion, be supported in the
next Democratic National Convention by
Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas He said that he thought Mr..
German would have the support of North
Carolina and probably other Souther
States, but he was not as familiar with
the sentiment in other States as in the
ones first named.
When asked if it could be said that there
was an organized movement in the South
Mr. Livingston replied that he did not
believe that the situation could be prop
ly described in that way, but that there
was growing sentiment, which was
rapidly crystalizing into purpose to
make Mr.. German candidate, and that
inquiries had been made as to Mr.. German
disposition IN the matter. AS to the re-
suit of these inquiries, he could say no
more than to express the opinion that
with proper encouragement Mr. German
could be candidate before the conven-
ton.
Senator E. W. Carmack, of Tennessee,
does not agree with Mr.. Livingston as to
the sentiment of the Tennessee Demo-
Gratis with reference to Mr.. German. He
says that apparently the Democrats of
that State have not settled on any man as
most available for the nomination and
that he does not believe that the State
will support the candidacy of Mr.. Cor
man, though the Democrats would like to
see MIR. German in the Senate. Senator
Carmack more than either Senator Bailey
of Representative Livingston represents
the element of Democracy which was
most earnest in its support of Mr.. Bryan.
Ex-senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, VINO was at tne neau OIL tne
Porulist organization supporting Mr..
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, expressed the
opinion to "The SUM- correspondent that
Admiral schley would secure more voters
than any other man whom the Democrats
could nominate for the Presidency. He
said that he thought the nomination of
Admiral Schley would not only guaran-
tee the support of the ticket by all ele-
ments of the Democratic party, bringing
about complete harmony within that
patty, but that the Admiral would receive
a large vote from people not Democrats,
and would stand better chance of cleo
ton than any man whom the Democrats
could nominate. He expressed the opin-
ion that no Democrat would have an ex-
cuse for refusing to support Admiral
Schley if nominated, nor did he think
there would be any disposition on the
part of Democrats not to support the
ticket The nomination, he said, would be
received with enthusiasm throughout the
country,
