BRYAN MEN FIGHT DANIEL
Former scnntOr. ThOmns Snys Semi
J. tor Will BE Opposcd ms Delegate.

[speciai to The Times- Dispatch
LYNCHBURG, VA. March 1o.--For-
mer State Senator A. T. Thomas, OF
this city. tonight gave out an inter.
Indicates in no uncertain terns that
the advocates OF William j. Bryan In
Virginia propose to fight to the bitter
end an effort TO send United States
Senator John w. Daniel as also No Of tn THIS
Democratic Convention in Denver; Ma
jor Daniels opposition to Mr.. Bryan
will be the basis Of this fight.
Senator Thomas, 1t VIII be recalled
was defeated In the Democratic .a pr. ts
Senate. his opposition to Major Daniel
being generally accepted az the cause
OF his defeat in the primary.
In the interview Senator Thomas
says:
"1n view OF the interview given.
the New York World some time
since by Senator Daniel In which
he said: Mr.. Bryan is imperialis.-
tic at ono end and Populfstic at
tho other. He carries too many
scare headlines at the top OF his
page and frightened a good many
OF the conservative Democrats who
are not out to placate mobs,' 1t is
difficult to conceive that he would
be willing to go to Denver as a
Bryan delegate.
After impugning Mr.. Bryan's-
Democracy and charging him with
pandering to mobs 1t would be
singularly inconsistent for him to
go to Denver asking that Mr..
Bryan be nominated.
The Democrats OF Virginia who
do not regard themselves as i'm
perialists. Populists or a. mob, but
who earnestly favor the nomina-
tion OF Mr.. Bryan, will, doubtless
object to being represented at Den
Yer by one who Is so decidedly
opposed to what they want as
Senator Daniel has shown him
self to be.
This Is no time to put enemies
on guard. The threat that the
force the Bryan element to ac-
lutlons indorsing Bryan and per-
haps go to the extreme Of in
structing the delegation for Daniel
Is the merest bombast.
The so-called Daniel boom has
never been taken seriously. 1t
was engineered by the same. ele-
ment that thrust Judge Parker's
candidacy upon the party in 1904.
Its purpose was to embarrass Mr..
Bryan's candidacy. but 1t failed to
accomplish Its object.
The Virginia convention will be
for Bryan. and 1t will send as dele
gates those who are his friends
and not his enemies. and II the
opponents OF Mr.. Bryan desire to
make trouble they Will likely find
the Bryan forces prepared"
