ADVISES DEMOCRATS
ROOSEVELT WANTS TO SEE BRYAN
 NOMINATED.
He Tells Blackburn and Other Friends That Nebraskan Is Preferable to an Anti-Adminisfra-
 tiOn Republican.

Washington, April 8.--(Speciai. )-- President Roosevelt Is urging White House Democrats" of the Blackburn of Kentucky stripe. who was recently made 8 Panama Canal commissioner. to work for the nomination of William J. Bryan by the Democratic Party.
 The President appreciates that 1t is unusual for Republican to be giv~ ing advice to the Democrats. but 1t is pointed out that his action has as much precedent as his attempt to control the nomination of his successor by his own party. The President has figured that were a Democratic movement to be- come strong for the selection of a con- servative Democfatic candidate, 1t would encourage the Republicans to name conservative and force the vot- CTS to choose between two conserya- tives: or If the Roosevelt men or the radical faction of the Republican fss5- ty were to succeed in naming radi- cal candidate. the fact that the Dem- ocrats were running a conservative candidate would enable the whole Re- publican financial and corporate inter- est element of the Republican Party to support the Democrat
 With Bryan the candidate against Taft, the President has said, Bryan's government ownership ideas would scare the conservatives to Taft as the lesser of the two evils. which would be a virtual acceptance of a radical Republican platform with a continual tion of the Roosevelt candidates and policies.
 With Bryan against a Republican conservative the President thinks Bry- an would win He believes that with two conservatives in the field 1t would mean the death of his policies.
