What the Poll Showed.

The industry of the New York World during
the three or four weeks in which it was trying to
prove that the Democrats of the Nation did not favor
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan for the presidency
would have been valuable in better cause. The
World sent number of men to Washington to
gather the opinions of Democratic senator's and rep
resentatives to the availability of Mr.. Bryan, ex.
pecting to encounter a sentiment against his nom-
nation.
Forty-four out of seventy-sx senator's and repre-
sentatives to whom The World question was pro-
pounded replied without hesitation that Mr.. Bry-
was the only possible nominee. Thirteen
believed it would be possible to find some
else and eleven made answer. Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, found favor in the sight of
one and Lieutenant Governor Chanler, Senator Cul-
berson and Governor Folk were limited at. But the
overwhelming voice of the lawmakers was for Mr..
Bryan and The World had to admit it after its
search for opposition
The New York paper fights increasingly the ris-
ing popularity of Mr.. Bryan 1t has been running
in its columns map upon which marked out the
territory that had become Republican under the
leadership of the Nebraskan and it was unfair
enough, forgetful enough, to include the states of
Missouri Idaho, Nevada, Montana and Colorado,
which rejected the Democratic ticket under the lead
ership of Judge Parker, the ideal candidate Of the
party in the estimation of The World.
1t omitted to mention, in another lapse of memory,
that in 1900 Mr.. Bryan polled 636O,O16 votes, while
Judge Parker polled 5,079O41 votes in 1904. 1t does
not mention that, but for the opposition of the Her
aid breed of Democrats, Mr.. Bryan would have been
elected in 1896 and probably in 1900. But it goes
into the haunts of distinguished for proof that
the party does not want him and fails as it has
always failed
Admitting the situation, the New York paper con-
vinces its understanding that, while the Democratic
party does want Mr.. Bryan for its candidate, it
wants him the kind of platform that The Herald
itself would favor This is species of illogical
sonng that will not influence belief, for it is the
principles of Mr.. Bryan that the masses admire more
than the 1t is what he stands for that brings
him adherents the years go by If he repre-
sented the beliefs of the New York Herald he would
not be mentioned in connection with the office of
President of the United States
1t is probable, however, that the fight in New York
against a candidate of the people will continue and
hat in the end the Nation will have to refuse to lis
en- to the voice of its metropolis. The Herald and
,ther papers of New York are as bitter in their
opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt as to the Democratic
avorte.

saloons in the Oklahoma territory portion of the
State were closed not to open again In the Indian
territory portion of the State, prohibition had long

clause in its constitution because it was required by
Congress for the protection of the large Indian
population. But for its agreement to abolish the
traffic in liquor, admission would have been denied

The United States has had some experience with

readily such agreements can be dshonored although
they organic. 1t stipulated in the contract
with these two States that the practice of polygamy
should and never be revived 1t did not cease,
and in the State of Idaho the legislation to carry
out those provisions of the constitution prohibiting
polygamy repealed
1t may be that majority of the people of Okla

prohibition is local opton"-t must be sustained

1t is understood that Oklahoma joined the sister
hood of States in petulant mood. The territory
had long been deprived of its rights and was still
denied its rights unless it would agree to the terms
of Congress. 1t accepted everything, but perhaps
with mental reservation like the one that reposed
