Indianapolis. Aug. 2O;--When w J.
Bryan was in this city few days ago
he met ard held conferences with a
number of democratic leaders, and
during these talks he gave these lead.
ers some very sound advice. They
were telling him OF the political stu.
alton In Indiana. and some OF them
pointed out to him that there had
been considerable friction among the
various factions of the republican
party Of this state. Bryan was told
that these factional troubles within
the party ranks was going to benefit
the democrats to n very great extent.
and that thousands Of republicans
would vote the democratic ticket next
fall This. they said. would be the
result Of the division among the In.
surgent and regular republicans.
But Bryan reduced the swelling in
the heads Of these democratic leaders.
He told them they should not deceive
themselves with the idea that they
might expect anything from the re-
publicans this year.
viii Hang Together.
"You must not get the idea that
because the republicans are divided
lnto two camps. the insurgents and
the regulars. that you will get their
votes" said Bryan. "The regular re-
publicans will vote their party ticket
ses-the simple reason that they are
Just what their name implies, regular
party men. You cannot expect any
help from them for that reason. And
you cannot expect any Of the insur-
gents to vote the democratic ticket.
because they are In control of the
organization and are running things
this year."
II 10 said that this statement Of the
situation by Bryan gave the demo
cratic leaders something to think
about. and that It presented the mat
ter to them in . different light from
that In which they had seen It before.
Judging from what IL heard from
republicans all over the state Bryan
had the situation sized up exactly
right. While there has been much
talk about the disafRection among re-
publicans and the likelihood that
many of them would vote against the
party ticket this year. reports from
various parts Of the state are to the
effect that this II not borne out by
Ghe facts. No one has yet been found
who is able to give the names OF any
Of the republicans who intend to vote
against the ticket. In speaking along
this line yesterday. one Of the republi-
can leaders Of the state said:
All 10 Not Harmony.
1T IL true that many republicans
Are not well pleased with the party
management, but It 10 also true that
they are still republicans and that
they will vote for the ticket. This
has always been the history Of the
party In Indiana. Some Of the men
who are talking against the present
management Of the party affairs call
attention 10 the lAct that the present
party differences are but. . continue
tion OF the differences that existed in
former campaigns. But they should
remember that two years ago Senator
Beveridge stumped the state and in
oil OF his speeches he urged the cleo
lion Of James 4. Watson for governor.
