paign and over his determined plans
to convert a majority of the American
people TO the principles in politics 70.
which he stands.
A NEW BRYAN.
In fact, it is changed Bryan, who
extends dignifed but cordial hospi-
tality to all visitors at Fairview. He
may believe in practically the same
political principles that he believed in
twelve years ago, when suddenly and
Unexpectedly elevated to the leadership
of his party in a presidential cam
paign. But he has matured. He is
more tactful, more conciliatory of
others who differ with him, more eau
tious, more thoughtful. He is .om-
pletely inbued with the idea that he
is going to win the campaign, although
it should be said that that has been
a BRYAN characteristic in the previous
campaigns when he has been the can
didate In the old days he had no pa
thence whatever with the boiling wing
of his party. Now he is seeking by
every honorable means he can devise
to win all factions to his standard and
to induce them to vote the Democratic
ticket in the autumn.
Gold Democrats were never more
welcome at Fairview. They are taken
into the inner councils, enjoy the Ne
braskan IS confidence fully and find
that he is willing to concede something
to them, provided it does not run
counter to certain well-defned political
principles with which, as public man,
he has become identified.
How far Mr.. Bryan is succeeding in
this no one can tell for the present.
There will be some indication of his
success or lack of it, in the direction of
Cancellation, by the time this conven-
ton has adjourned. If he succeeds fair
ly well in having a harmonious conven-
ton and in getting a ticket and a plat
form that half way pleases the con-
sentative Democrats, radical though the
presidential candidate and the platform
may be, he will have made a long
start toward giving Nominee Taft a
terrific campaign. Such a convention
and such an outcome will infuse new
spirit into all factions of the party,
that, "Marse Henry Watterson, once
said in an eloquent outburst was never
beaten when it was united.
The attitude and the conversation of
the political groups, departing from
Lincoln en- route for Denver, have been
truly one of the very interesting phases
of the Democratic convention period.
These Democratic leaders. conservatives
and radicals. have seen and heard
enough in Lincoln and at Fairview to
keep them thinking and, on the whole,
to keep them meditating about party
matters in an amiable. generally a
hopeful frame of mind. These travellers
|, talk it over in the smoking rooms of
the trains during the fourteen hours of
travel from Lincoln to this city and
when they have arrived here they talk
it over some more.
Probably no county gentleman in the
West lives more comfortably at home
than does Mr.. Bryan, although some
may live more sumptuously. His resi-.
dence and its surroundings are verv
beautiful. His fields are well cult
waited. Plenty abopnds on every side.

found it necessary to hang up rich
purses therefor. The citizens raise the
funds to pay over to the convention
authorities and then the citizens pro-
pose by divers devious ways, so thor
oughly countenanced nowadays that
they are regarded as entirely legiti-
mate, to reach into the pockets of del
egates and spectators and pull out an
equivalent sum with little something
over as commissions, or payment for
the trouble they have been put to by
the operation.
During the Republican convention at
Chicago, not only Chicago, but Wash
ington, figured in the convention date
lines. Theodore Roosevelt, President,
was running the convention by long
distance telephone and did run it alb
solutely till "Unele Joe" Cannon and
his congressional heutenants stole a
march on him over night and succeed
ed in nominating a Vice President of
their own liking. During the nation
al convention here, Denver and Lin
coin are joined in a like procedure. The
long distance telephone facilities are
not quite so good between here and
Lincoln, which is approximately 500
miles away. None the less, methods
of communication are ample. Mr..
Bryan is not keeping his ear TO the
telephone quite as closely as Mr.. Roose-
Welt kept his ear to the telephone when
the Republican convention was in ses-
sion. Then he is not allowing his ae-
tivity and his domination over the
convention to be quite so conspicuous
as President Roosevelt did
BRYAN THE BOSS.
All the same, William Jennings
Bryan is bossing this convention. No
one can tell what will happen before
the convention adjours two or three
days from now, but it looks as though
Bryan would make as thorough a job
of it as did his party opponent in the
White House. AS things size up now,
the Peerless One" is not likely to
let T. 2 Denver convention get away
from him. He will probably be able
to present its adopting any planks he
does net want or that he would have
to approve of with reluctance, and
probably, too, he viii nominate the
running mate he wants, wherein he
will be more fortunate than Nominee
Taft was.
Apparently more of the delegates and
leaders have been in recent confer
enees with the Commoner at Lincoln
than got into personal touch with The
odore Roosevelt before the Chicago
hosts gathered. That is because the
matter of geography has made it very
convenient for the convention travellers
to stop off at Lincoln en- route. The
railroad companies obligingly arranged
1t so that travellers could rest a night
or day at Lincoln without paying
extra fare. This enabled them leisure
ly to journey out to Fairview, Bryan S
home, which is four miles from LIN
coin, and receive the glad hand from
the leader of the Democratic party.
Lincoln, although a Republican city,
extended every facility and a most
cordial welcome to all such corners,
There have been citizens committees
to look after the comfort of travellers
and even to furnish carriages for a
drive out to Fairyiew. Whatever be
the result of the November elections
there is no question about this far

WESTERN FEELING.
If Gov. Cummins, of Iowa, or Sena-
tor La Toilette of Wisconsin, had been
nominated for Vice President with
Taft, the West apparently would have
been satisfied and would have given
something like its normal Republican
majority. But neither of those men
was nominated, much to the disgust
of the President and also of Mr.. Taft.
But both Cummins and La Toilette
will be in tremendous demand during
this campaign. 1t is nothing unusual
to hear men out here say that if any
thing can make a Republican majority
in Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and
one or two other States, including
Iowa, certain, it will be for Gov. Cum
minis and Senator La Toilette to go
upon the stump for Taft. The voters
in those states know Cummins and
La Toilette and believe IN them. That
Wisconsin is thoroughly permeated
with La Folletteism is well known. But
the same is also true of Kansas, Me-
braska and other adjacent States. La
Folletteism, although locally Republic
can, is almost identical with Organism.
In Nebraska, for instance, the Re-
publican leaders are already talking
about the necessity of persuading SEN
ator La Toilette to make a few speech
es during the campaign. Radical as
the Wisconsin Senator is, he always
makes his fights within the RepubIi-
can party and always supports the
Republican ticket. He is going on the
Chautauqua circuit this summer and
early autumn and has already prom

lican platform adopted at Chicago.
There is no doubt, on the other hand.
about his supporting Mr.. Taft and
probably the radical Western commune
ties will be able to persuade him to
make whirlwind tour of these States
to the west of the Mississippi.
Just at present Gov. Cummins is in
blue funk because of the way the
Iowa stalwarts have treated him but
it is quite probable that he will decide
not to execute mis- threat to resign and
go back to private life and also it is
likely that he will be out on the
stump before November comes, whoop-
ing it up tremendously for Taft and
Sherman and telling the people of the
West that in his judgment they would
make a great political mistake to vote
for Bryan and the running mate whose
name has not been determined at this
writing.
One thing that cheers the Republic
cans and discourages the Democrats
hereabou is that, while the detection
to Bryan seems quite marked among
the voters, the Republican party work.
