THE WAR ON BRYAN.

- OVERNOR JOHNSON, Of Minnesota, in
NJ his candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President, is becoming aggressive. The
complaint has been that none OF the leaders IN the
Bryan opposition have been aggressive. They
have been afraid to tackle the Nebraskan chief.
There would be considerable talk against Bryan
in Washington among the Southern Democrats,
but when the colonel would appear at the capital
the criticism would cease and all would be wor-
shipping at the Bryan shrine.
Governor Johnson is now speaking out in meet
ing. He declares that the tide of Bryan's popu-
larity is receding-that the peerless leader is
'has been" and that when the Denver convention
meets, Colonel Bryan will be looking for votes.
This attitude of Governor Johnson will stir the
fervor of the Bryan men, who will accept his
challenge for a combat at the Denver convention
There is unquestonably considerable sentiment
against Colonel Bryan throughout the East. A
Virginia paper, for example, berates a Bryan
paper in that State because it declared that should
one of the conservatives be nominated for Presi-
dent that candidate would lose two million Bryan
votes. In other words the Bryan men would bolt
the ticket, just as the Palmer and Buckner Demo
Gratis bolted the regular ticket during 1906
This is where the trouble will ensue If Bryan
is not named, his followers will declare that the
nomination was brought about by the "conserva-
tives," who are opposed to BRYAN, and who regard
any man mentioned for the high office as prefer
able to Bryan. If, on the other hand, Bryan IS
named, he will be opposed by those conservatives
just as he was opposed by them in the past No
matter what platform Bryan may stand on, the
real opposition, perhaps not so vehement but
none the less effective, viii continue in the East
Bryan, therefore, must draw support if he
hopes to win, from dissatisfied Republicans and
from the voters who move around indefinitely,
But he has small prospect of getting either.
There are no signs of a serious detection in the
Republican vote that might go to Bryan. The
Populists and the Socialists will have their own
tickets in the campaign, and support that Bryan
might get from this class, were there no other
candidates, will be withheld. In addition, the In
dependence League will start a national campaign
this year, and this organization will draw the vast
percentage of its votes from those who otherwise
might support Bryan.
The Democrats, therefore, appear to be in a
dilemma, no matter in which direction they may
turn.

PHILADELPHIA GOVERNMENT.

IN PHILADELPHIA there is a hue and crv
because the judges of the courts have licensed
about sixty saloons in residential parts of the
city. 1t was supposed that the court had declined
to license these saloons and the applications for
the licenses had been rejected. The citizens now
find that, for some reason, the judges have
changed their minds and the saloons are to be in
stalled where they were not wanted.
The liquor interests, that is, the brewers and
the wholesalers, were not desirous of having the
applications granted. Philadelphia is in the throes
OF conflict over license, and the brewers wisely
considered that the licensing of more saloons
would stir the voters to still further efforts to Sc
cure local option law from the Legislature
which enactment would be followed by a general
battle on the question of prohibition.
The men in the liquor trade, however, may re-
gard their fears as groundless because the recent
primaries at which candidates for the Legislature
were nominated, showed no decided inclination
IN Philadelphia toward local option. That is, the
result of the primaries recorded this verdict, but
whether the verdict represented the sentiments of
Phiadelphans is questionable. The result of the
elections on any subject in Philadelphia through
the manlpulations OF the gang seldom reflects
the opinions of the voters-if Philadelphian has
decided opinion upon any public question
The judges who granted the licenses are being
severely censured, and it is broadly intimated
that the licenses were secured because of the in
huence welded by the gangsters with the court
The saloons are a source of potent power for the
Philadelphia gang.
1t seems that the outcry against the iudges and
the court is locking the stable after the horse has
been stolen.
Political conditions in Philadelphia are deplor-
able The people make occasional efforts to as
sert their rights and to rescue the city from the
gang that holds 1t by the throat When the gang
