The Herald's forecast of the states
drift to Taft was fully confirmed by
the inner history OF the convention
yesterday. 1t Is safe to say that every
man on the Vermont delegation, state
district and alternates. has a sincere
admiration for Gov. Hughes and would
like to see him president, but the con-
viction rapidly crystallized In the
three days of the state and district
conventions that the man from New
York Is urgently needed in his native
state, that the forces that have array.

sinister in their way as the familiar
enemies OF the republic" and that,
after his work in the Empire state
has been completed, Gov. Hughes will
still be young man. The remark.

that Taft resolution could have been
held back. but the prettiest and

A Solid Bryan Delegation From

The Richmond Journal few
days ago printed the following ed.
itOrial:
Mr.. Bryan Is the recognized
leader of the Democratic party in

Roosevelt of the Republican party,
as much so and in the same sense
as is Mr.. Balfour the exponent of
the Unionist party in Eng
land and Mr.. Campbell. Banner

the merest affectation of vanity
and a pretense of demogogy to sf,
firm a doubt as to the fact of the
Nebraskan's prlmacy. "A leader
will be necessary so long as party
government endures. Such per-
sonage is indispensable to solidar-
ity, to cohesive and aggressive,
compact progress else the organl.
cation becomes a mob directed by
wrangllng debating society. Mr..
Bryan is leader by the choice of
the people and through no vain
self-seeking. and he is selected be-
cause of his personal fitness, his
superabundant equipment both of
mental and ncrsi qualifications.
He has in no wise forced himself
upon the party. He has simply
come into his own place as the
logical candidate.
Here and there State central
committees give twitchings Of dis
satisfaction at the choice of the
masses, but these jerks are spas

anyone substituted Would it
not rend the party from top to bot
temp Even the attempt is fraught
with iIcalculab,e harm. 1t would
be deliberate play into the hands
of the enemy ripe pear dropped
into the lap of the opposition.
Such step is too suicidal to be
considered. The Democratic par
ty is not adjoining Itself with the
