BRYAN BOOMERS
ACTIVE

Harrisburg. Pa. May 2O-Marked
by strenuous efforts on the part OF
the adherents OF Bryan. Gray and
johnson to capture the delegation
for their favor, the Pennsylvania
Democratic state convention con-
vened here today. Campaign man.
ayers OF each OF the three candi-
dates are hopeful to success The
bryan boomers. who have formed
themselves into league which has
carried on an active campaign for
several weeks. are highly optimistic
as to the probabilities of Bryan's
Endorsement by the convention. The
rivalry between the factions is for
the most part good natured and free
from personal abuse. In speaking
or the opposing candidates. Vice
President Roland S. Morris OF the
Bryan League said:
II do not think that there Is anv
member OF what might be called
the progressive Democracy who has
not great admiration for Govern
or Johnson of Minnesota. He Is n
consistent supporter OF our marty
principles and is sound on every ma
tiohal question. AS to Judge GRAY.
nc has been said that his political
attitude in 1906 would prevent hin,
from receiving many Democratic
votes, but | doubt If that would no
the only difficulty that would be I'm
his way Personally ! have the pro-
toundest admiration for him, and 7
think he is sound Democrat. For
MIN. however, there is a great dis
advantage in the fact that his iudi-
cial position prevents him from ex-
pressing himself as freely on public
questions as a presidential candi-
date ought to do in Justice To him
SELF and to the people; and. again.
his advanced age is a serious OH
lection. You know Mr.. BRYAN has
said that If Gray is eligible as a can
dldate. then he himself has at least
eight chances more for the nomina-
ton.
But the Bryan League simpIv
feels that there is an almost uni
versal demand among the rank and
file of the Democracy for Mr.. Bryan
as the most suitable standard bear
err; that the condition of the party
is such that we should have a prac-
tical referendum on the question of
the nomination, and this IS the
primal object for which the League
was formed. There is no truth I'm
any statement that the Bryan
strength is disintegrating in any
quarter The reverse is the truth.
We never expected that the New
York or the New Jersey delegates
would be instructed. I think the SEN
timent for Bryan I'm the New Eng
land States is strong. 1t was not
expected that either the Connecticut
or the Massachusetts, delegates
would be instructed for him"

Within a few days the new city
administration will take charge. For
the first time in several years the
city will be under the control of
offers elected by the best element
OF both parties The new admins
tration should give us a progressive
government. Much is expected Of
them by those who placed them in
power.
One of the first things that should
be done by the new administration
is the publication for the inspection
OF the people a full, accurate and
complete statement Of the city's
financial condition. The city coun-
ell should Immediately take steps TO
install such system of keeping the
city's accounts as will enable the
people to know more about the city's
condition.
II Is believed that the city is heav-
lIy in debt 1t Is only just TO those
VINO are to take charge Of thu CITY
government that the people should
know the exact condition of the
city's affairs when they went into
power.
