Colonel James 81. Gufrcy, democratic
national committeeman for Pennsylva'
nia, and W. J. Bryan have recently had
an interchange Of words Mt long range
that indicates u very radically different
relation between the two democrats
from that Of 1896 and 1900. In the two
campaigns referred to. Colonel Guirey
was one Of the champions for the cleo
ton Of W. ]. Bryan and spent large n
mounts of money and much time In his
efforts TO MD in bringing about his clce-
ton. But Mr.. Guifcy. still mn enihusi-
as,ic democrat, seems TO have reached
the conclusion that ". J. Bryan MS dem
m, -atic candidate cannot be elected In
the coming campaign and, on his way
N Denver, called on Mr.. Bryan and
very politely Informed him OF his belief
and Of the further fact that he would
oppose hi. nomination. On July 4, u
nart Of the Pennsylvania delegation
called on Mr.. Bryan and In his speech
TO the delegation took occasion to nc.
eun, Colonel Gufrey Of being n political
"bushwhaekcr" and Of eonspiring to
defeat the selection Of delegates from
that state favorable to his, Bryan's.
nomination.
Colonel Guircy replies through the
press To this attack upon him and IN
doing 40. accuses Mr., Bryan Of being u
political "hypoerit.." nm arrogant
bona" and an migrate
After the publication of these charges
and counter charges, II ia not very Hike
Nv that Colonel Guircy will give n very
enthusiastic support to the Bryan ti"ke,
in the coming campaign but this oi
course will not worry Mr.. Bryan yefS
much ~ Colonel Guircy resides In

Ex-Governor c. S. Thomas who rep
resented Colorado democracy on the
committee on resolutions in the demo
cratic national CONVEX I IN at Denver is
reported to have jokingly suggested
that Roosevelt be named by the conven-
tion AS candidate for vice president.
When a republican cautioned him not To
mention Eoesovelt'5 nsmc for any office
as there would be danger of stamped
ing the convention to him for first place
on the ticket. he replied: 81 shouldn't
be surprised a worse thing might come
upon us; he is the strongest man that
could be nominated, and If the people
should get together and nominate him
on an independent ticket. ] am sure he
would beat both the other nominees"
That statement is certainly not very
complimentary to the democratic nomi-
nee. OF course we would expect Gov
ernor Thomas TO make such compari-
son between President Roosevelt who
is not candidate and Mr.. Taft who is
the republican candidate, bu, II certain
ly is not showing very much enthusiasm
for W. J. Bryan as candidate tomake
such comparison between President
Roosevelt and him.

For few days before the democrat
ic national convention, the Denver News
gave it out cold that Roger Sullivan Of
Illinois was, through Bryan's Influence,
to be retired AS private in the rear
ranks. In the face of this statement,
the Illinois delegation proceeded to the
election Of a national committeeman
and gave Roger Sullivan the position
by unan mo is vote. Has Bryan taken
to his hos, m y lllivan corporation and
