Daniel has added strength to the sugges- ton. -t< | Mir Daniel is held in high esteem by his congressional associates. It is probable | that he will be selected minority leader in the Senate. permanent successor to the late Arthur P. German.
 | Col. Leonidas F. Livingston Represen- tative in Congress from Georgia: Senator Daniel would be as available a candidate as any man the Democratic party could nominate, and the party would have as Q. candidate an honest straightforward man sn whom everybody knows him has the most implicit confidence. Senator Daniel woud draw a large Northern vote. There are | thousands of people In the North who are sick of this wishy-w y-washy tariff business. and Republicans in enormous numbers are disgusted and tired to death of the graft ing that has been going on within their own party. Daniel would appeal to them. Nothing better could be done by the Dem- ocratIc party than to nominate him-a straightforward man on a straightforward platform 1 Senator James B. Frazier, of Tennessee | Senator Daniel is a pure and upright man and would fill any position with honor. do not think the Democratic party ought to make a sectional nomination in the sense of demanding that the candidate should come from any particular section. The prime consideration should be what the man | stands for. l T think the time has long since passed when man that has the re1uisites e"r the Presidency should be considered not ava ia- ble simply because he happens to come from the South.

 Tn my part of the country the talk aoout candidates centres almost entirely around Colonel Bryan. and 1t seems to be assured l that he will be the candidate. have long believed the South should have at least the second place on the ticket IT so fortuhaee as to get the first place. I should be happy and there is no man for whom w9a,a vote more gladly than for Senator Daniel. If wa so not get the nomination 'or first n,ane we surely ought to for the Vice-Pres- idencv.
