depend 20 a great eXent the ultimate
success Of the move for a greater
Washington. He must be a man Of
great Industry, executive ability and
knowledge OF men, and must also be
enthusiastic over the idea of developing
the trade and business Of the Capital.
It has been suggested In various quar-
teTs that an outsider would be good
man. as one might be obtained from
centers already established as leaders
i'm the jobbing and shipping business.
The answer TO this. IL Is Contended, Is
that no outsider would have the knowl-
edge of local conditions which a local
man would have. and II would take tho
foreigner q long time 10 dssimilate ali
on taking up his duties. This might
work as a disadvantage, especially as
the association wants to get down 20

days In the mean time, additional
names are being presented as availa bic

Eloquence.

The Homecoming of Mr.. Bryan, the
New York governorship contest, and
various other things, are getting mixed
up In most remarkable shape In New
York. The attitude Of the Hearst men
indicates plainly they are prepared 70
cut loose from Bryan. 10 take the posi-
ton ne has gone over" TO the conser-
vatives. and 10 insist hereafter that
Hearst is the only blown-in-the-bottle
radical in the running
Meanwhile. Hearst. having cut loose
from Bryan. has hooked up with Tam

element OF Tammany that is stardiNC
with Murphy. Not that Hearst is fo-
Murphy; no! He has said he ISN'T. but
Murphy Is for Hearst, and what can
the DOOR man do?
The other end OF Tammauy has fol-
lowed on after Jerome. with Mayor Nc
Clellan supposed 70 be giving his coun-
tenance 10 its progress.
Not for Willy Hearst.
Hearst leaders have given out the
word that their friends viii not be exc

and other doings incident 10 the Bryan
reception. Good Hearst men Will stay
away from the Madison Square Garden
gathering. Mr. Bryan will be permitted
10 talk TO just as many plutOcrats and
tories as he likes; but the true progress
slves will not be subjected 20 his wiIes.
The plutocrats. anu things plutOcratic,
are coming IN for a poor showing just
now. Mr.. Bryan has refused the court
esy Of a railroad presidents private car.
and the Bryan homefClks. headed BY
Mayor jim Dahlman. Of Omaha, have
expressed their dissatisfaction with the
scheme Of "t0ting Bryan around on a
yacht; too plutocratic. don't you think?'
Nobody wants to mix Up with the poor

How Does Willy Stand?
The Nebraska delegation got face to
face with some Of tho embarrassments
early after it's arrival from the bound
ing West. Somebody offered a resOlu-
ton 20 pay q CALL en masse. on William
r Hearst. Mayor Dahlman suggested
that this delegation was out 20 pay It's
respects TO folks who arc for Bryan
right now: he didn't feel concerned
about them that used 20 be for him.
AS there wasn't any evidence that
Hearst was supporting Bryan at this
tuncture, and considerable TO show that
he wasn't Mayor jim didn't see why a
call should be paid on Hearst.
And this view prevailed.
