Washington, May SO.-(Specia)-
Washington newspaper readers suffer
somewhat from a mass of misinfor.
nation sent out by publicity agents
concerning their favorite candidate
FOR the democratic presidential nomi
nation. Last Monday the anu.Bryan
leaders and press agcnts-and it is
worth while to bear in mind the fact
that there have ceased to be any
Johnson leaders or any Gray leaders.
or any other positive leaders, for they
lump themselves together in one CO
hort as "anti.Bryan leaders'-offered
this information:
Mr.. Bryan has now only six hun.
drcd and sixteen delegates. or fifty.
two short Of the two-thirds necessary
10 nominate"
In the first place this estimate is
not at all accurate. The New York
Herald which has been wholly non.
partisan credits Mr. Bryan with seven
hundred and forty-seven delegate! o.
about seventy more than necessary to
nominate. But If 1t be admitted that
the estimate made by the "autis" that
Mr.. Bryan is short fitty-two votes of a
two.thirds majority II might also De
cnquired of them which one OF their
candidates. whether Judge Gray with
his six from Delaware and his possl-
bility Of a few from Florida, or Gov
johnson with his twenty-five from
Minnesota comes anywhere within
ifty-two votes of a majority or a two
thirds vote in the convention. If the
votes of these two candidates are com
bined they will come not within hi.y.
two of the number necessary to nonh-
nate. nor will they come within i've
hundred and twenty of the number
necessary to nominate. How utterly
futile IL Is for this very small tail to
expect to wag the democratic dog. In
a long interview given out I'm Georgia,
Gov johnson ANNOUNCED concerning
his campaign that Eve have tried TO
make fair fight and we intend to
keep right on in the same line" Thii
raises the question as TO what Is a
good fair fight in politics, and al q
how far Gov Johnson is personally
responsible for what his managers aIe
doing in his behalf and apparent ;
with his countenance.

Good Fish, for Democratic Issue.

Good Fight for Democratic Issue.
Senator Robert L. owen of Okla

yea and nay vote In the United states

a cardinal principle OF progressive
democrats for az least fifteen years.
