BRYAN FOR CULBERSON IN
CASE HE CAN'T WIN.

The report in the Washington Her
aid, q Bryan newspaper, that the Ne
braskan is doubtful as to whether or
not he will secure the nomination at
Denver and that, in the event of
failure, he will attempt TO throw the
nomination TO Senator Culberson, OF
Texas, is significant Az matter
OF fact there is a steadily growing
sentiment in the Democratic party
against the nomination of Mr..
Bryan, not because the party lacks
confidence in him, but because it Is
not believed that he can be elected.
and unless he should secure the nom
ination on the first ballot at Denver
it is almost q certainty that there
win be break in his forces and a
wild scramble toward Johnson, Cul-
berson and Gray. II Mr.. Bryan
personal choice is the Texas Senator
he would In all probability be named
AID would make IA strong candidate.
despite the fact OF being a Southern
man, but the model ticket, in such
an Emergency, would seem to be
Johnson for president and Culber-
son for vice-president. The latter =
name on the ticket would mean "a
solid South, including Maryland.
Kentucky and Missouri and possibly
West Virginia and Delaware. while
Johnson's name would mean Mime
sofa and New York, with a strong
probability of both Dakotas, New
Jersey, Ohio and Connecticut These
States would be more than sufficient
to win and there is every rea-
son under existing conditions
to believe that the ticket named
above would be successful in nearly
all OF them. Because OF certain
amount of uncertainty still attend
ing the result OF the balloting at
Denver it is much better that the
Virginia delegation be sent unin-
structed, so that they may have
some influence in shaping the choice
OF the party. If Bryan has enough
to nominate him Virginia can easily
fall in line, but there is no use in tie
ing the hands OF the delegates before
hand. In addition TO this Senator
John W. Daniel should be sent to
Denver and he shouldn't be sent in
the humiliating attitudeof being in
structed for Mr.. Bryan.

Mrs. Elliott +. Shepard 2 sisterfn-

not mentioned IN the interview with
Mrs Green. was the only member Of
the Vanderbilt family who would con
sent TO answer any Of the statements
OF Mrs. Green. Mrs. Shepard said.
Il cannot believe the utterances
credited to Mrs Green. Those which
have TO do with the Vanderbilt estate
are absurd, I am sure Mrs Wander
bilt would scarcely seek such means
Of raising money rs Mrs Green IS
quoted as telling Of. These statements
are surprising and incredible TO me.
ID. v w. Rossiter. vice-p president of
the New York Central and executor

Vanderbilt consented to talk as TO
the allegations of Mrs Green that the
New York Central had applied to her
FOR financial assistance Mr. Rossiter
was found at the Union League club.

"lt Is both absurd and ridiculous
The New York Central's directors have
never to my knowledge either applied
to Mrs. Green or the Chemical Nation

am pretty aurel would have known
it ii such We're the case.
Neither has the Vanderbilt estate

statements seem so absurd ! can hard
~ believe that Mrs. Green has been
correctly quoted
Nothing has been read recently with
greater interest Ia Wall Street or ex-
cited more comment than the inter
view with Hetty Green. Ina some
quarters there was a disposition to
regard some OF her statements as
bordering on romance or at least ex-
aggeration as for Instance, the one
IN which she said she had declined To
lend money on the Vanderbilt dia-
monds or ON automobiles
