to any man on the regular ticket.
To-day Mr.. Guffey is fighting not

Is trying to once more repeat the
record Of defeat and disaster in the
state of Pennsylvania which he above
all other men caused in 1901.

There is no reason why there should
not be states, men or forces opposing

lie has right to urge some candi-
date for the presidency, or to urge
and enforce some views upon the
public But it does seem fair that
-the newspapers of the United States
should at least attempt TO tell the
facts and not suppress them. II is
fair to say for Mr.. Bryan that what
he stands for IS understood by and Of
all men. That he Is himself a plat
form and that if nominated no one
will have to question as to his posi-
tion on public questions.

The Pennsylvania Contest.

The Bryan men of the nation are
informed that Mr.. Gufrey has ex-
pressed his determination 10 antag
onize Mr. Bryan. They know that in
the state of Pennsylvania Warren
Worth Bailey. the editor and owner
of the Johnson Democrat, stands
for the principles that Bryan rep
resents. They know too that while
Guffey is a multi-millionaire. Mr.
Bailey represents the rank and file
Of the Bryan forces. Mr. Bailey is
not rich. If the delegation from Penn
sylvania is TO be bought, Mr.. Bailey
will not be a delegate at large. If
the delegation is TO be chosen by
men without regard TO money, Mr..
Bailey should go and If he does go
he will stand as one of the true rep
resentatives of the real democracy OF
the nation. If Pennsylvania democrats
are not wholly tied to the financial
interests to the corporations and the
men who control the public service in
stitutions of the state, they will not
send delegation to the national CON
ventlon to be used by Guffey, for
Guffey or for any candidate who may
be willing to make a trade with Cuff
fey for Guffey's own interest.
And again we have the New York
delegation. 1t has been long the prac-
tice of New York to send an unin-
structed delegation to the national
convention. Possibly that Is all right,
but as a matter OF fact it has rn-
suited in destroying the influence Of
New York. The Now York delega-
ton in 1896 sat like lot OF logs,
neither voting nor boiling. In 1890
they did not vote for the president
but for vice president announced
that they would vote for a news
paper man who was widely known as
"Cholly Knickerbocker." Mr.. CrOckcr
himself urged the "Cholly' nomina-
tion. In 1904 they voted like one man
for Judge Parker. But having done
so these eminent politicians could
not carry their own state. Today they
are talking about nominating some
man on the democratic ticket who
can carry New York. What do they
know about a man who can carry
New York, they have neye. proved
! any knowledge on that suDiacr, nor
have they ever shown that the peo.
| pie who profess to manage poliuc,
in New York can show that tie man
| they pick out as national candi-
date can carry the state.
And again, as to Wisconsin. | no.
tice that there is much talk about
the possibility Of Gov. Johnson car
rying the Wisconsin convention. That
makes one laugh. The Wisconsin con
ventlon was held four weeks ago and
II selected its delegates to the ma
tional convention and instructed them
to vote first, last and all the time
for William J. Bryan. There Is alb
solutely no antagonism to Mr.. Bryan
in Wisconsin One of the most prom
inent congressman in the state said
to me today that not merely would
the Wisconsin delegation be for Mr..
Bryan, but that the chances of car
rying the state for him would be
very great. The only time the demo-
cratic party carried Wisconsin was
in 1892 when Cleveland was a candi-
! date, and the issue was raised upon

JUDGE PRITCHARD FOR PRESIDENT
Name of Prominent Southern Republican
and Former U. S. Senator Suggected.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The many friends of Judge Jeter Connolly
Pritchard: in North Carolina and elsewhere
throughout the United States. would like very
much indeed 10 him receive the nomination
for President of the United States.
wiser choice probably could not be made His
election 10 the office of President would do much
to heal sectional differences and to bring about
still better feeling between the North and the South
than has existed at any time since the Civil War
He has always been loyal to the Republican
party and all that it represents His career in the
United States Senate a brilliant and useful
His patriotism and his physical and moral
courage have been tested upon countless occasions
He was warm personal friend, as well as poiiti-
cal follower, Of the late President Mckinley
His services as member of the federal judiciary
have won for him a national reputation for wis
DOM integrity and conscientiousness.
No President has been elected from the South
for many decades There was time when Fir-
ginia was called the mother of Presidents The
greatest Presidents the United States has had
came from Virginia. No viii dispute this
fact when the names of Washington, JEFFERSON
and Madison mentioned.
Washington in his farewell address. said that
one Of the greatest dangers that menace and
would continue to menace the Republic would be
sectional differences. He said in substance that
every man who fostered and sought raise these
differences should be regarded as an enemy 10
the welfare of the Republic.
Nothing would have greater tendency to bring
about even more harmonious relations between
the North and the South than the election of
a President from the South by the Republican
party, which has always held in such sacred esteem
the traditions and the principles Of the party 10
which Washington in his day belonged
The office should seek the The record of
every statesman is before the people, and the So
lection can be made without assistance the

probably the ablest Republican in the South, will

NEED OF BICYCLE SEATS FOR CARS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / have read with great interest the descrip-
tiop OF the new streetcar printed in The Sunday
Tribune
The need for some improvement in the transit
conditions of the city has been felt for years,
and the need as well as the conditions. has be-
come more pressing with the rapid growth Of
the city
To those who obliged to the subway or
Il" twice daily relief will be welcome The
uncomfortable and I might say indecent crowding
of the cars is blot civilization, and should
be remedied
