STEVENSON MAY BE THE
NOMINEE.
lFre,lerieksburq Free Laneel


More than a month ago we practi-
cally launched boom for the old
veteran Democrat, Adlai X. Steven
son, and at the time we gave as our
reasons for suggesting him as the
possible nominee of the st. Louis con-
vention that he was a Democrat who
must of necessity be acceptable to
every faction of his party, and that
he came from State which will be
pivotal In the present contest, where
dlssensions IN the Republican party
make Democratic chances in that
State, provided suitable candidate
is selected, very bright. So far as
we know, we were the first paper in
the country to call attention to the
availability of Mr.. Stevenson, and
now the special correspondent to the
Baltimore AmericdR, writing from
New York, gives color to the idea
that MIR. Stevenson is at least a
strong possibility, and the reasons
given for bringing forward the name
of this disting uished Illinois Demo-
crat are almost identical with those
we suggested in the editorial referred
to. He says:
cit has developed tonight that
some of the Democratic leaders from
the South and West who have been
in conference with local Democrats
are preparing to spring the name of
former Vice President Adlai Steven
son as dark horse at the National
Democratic Convention, upon the
theory that he is the only man who
can harmonic the Cleveland Demo-
Gratis and the Bryan Democrats.
ait is urged in his favor that
Cleveland accepted him as a running
mate in 1892, and that he could not
say anything against him as can
didate for president at the present
time.
son the other hand, he was a can
didate with Bryan in 1896, and the
Nebraskan would be forced to sup
port a man who ran on the ticket
with him in 1900.
"Neither the Cleveland Democrats
nor the Bryan Democrats, it is ar
gued, would be able to impeach his
regularity, since he was once elected
and once defeated as a national can
didate for the second place on the
ticket himself"
