LINCOLN, Neb., July 2.-Is Viii
liam Jennings Bryan utilizing the few
days before the convention to heal the
breach with William Randolph Hearst,
who is threatening the homogeneity of
the democracy in this campaign with
his independence league? There are
many close observers of the situation
at Fairview who believe that such is
the case and that Bryan salve will be
spread literally over the Hearst peo-

pie with the object of offsetting
Hearst opposition to the ticket.
An advance copy of the Commoner,
of which Bryan is proprietor and edi-
tor, and which in Lincoln constitutes
the official Bryan voice, in it's editorial
columns tomorrow will laud Hearst
rather fulsomely. 1t is fair to assume
that the article is tantamount to a
carefully edited interview with the
peerless leader on the question. The
Commoner will say:
THE republican papers are quick to
assume that Mr. Hearst will oppose
the democratic ticket. They ought to
give Mr.. Hearst credit for having made
fight for certain well defined reforms
they ought to give him credit for sim
cerity in advocating those reforms;
they ought to know that his strength,
like the strength of others who are
strong with the masses, is due to the
strength of the reforms to which he
has attached himself
There is no danger of the platform
this year containing less of reform
than the platform OF 1904. There is
every indication that it will go even
further in demanding remedial legis-
lation. If the platform of 1904 was
good enough for Mr.. Hearst to run
upon, may not the democratic platform
of 1908 be good enough for Mr.. Hearst
to support?
The candidates, too may have in
duence in determining Mr.. Hearsts ac-
tion, and the organization of the ma
tional committee is factor to be con-
sidered. The general trend and spirit
of the convention also ought to have
weight in determining with what force
the democratic party will be able to
appeal TO the men who are connected
with the independence party"
