''I will not be a candidate for Pres ident in 1912," said MT. Bryan at Kal- amazoo. Mich, on Friday last. The next day, he declined an invitation to address the Jefferson club of Colum- bus, Ohio, saying:
 It would be impossible for me to speak at the capital or anywhere else in Ohio without saying something con- cerntng the Presidential indorsement given Governor Harmon by the state convention. I am opposed to Gov ernor Harmon for President; there fore l can make no speeches in Ohio during the campaign.
 Presumably, MT. Bryan intends to oppose the nomination of any one who did not support him for Presi- dent. He has a perfect right to do so: but is it wise action? Issues have largely changed since MT. Bryan first became a Presidential candidate; Democrats who then antagonized is sues specially represented by him, are now in harmony with the Democratic issues of today. Is 1t wise to now politically ostracize these men? Per haps 1t might be added that MT. Bryan cannot accomplish what he has undertaken.
