views comes from Washington that
William Jennings Bryan is for Wood
row Wilson for the Democratic nomi-
nation
He believes Wilson will win, has
told many Of his followers so in the
last few days, and has given his gen.
eral Endorsement to- Wilson as the
sort of man who should lead the par
ty.
The Wilson campaign is to be
largely in the hands Of Edward 2.
Goltra, of st. Louis, who in the next
few weeks will be elected national
Democratic committeeman from Mis-
souri,.
Goltra is a former, classmate of
Bryan and also a Princeton man, i'm
bued with all the Princeton loyalty
to Wilson.
His selection as committeeman for
Missouri is made with the acquies-
cence OF Joseph W.. Folk, who, if the
deal goes through, is likely to be the
candidate for Vice-President with
Wilson.
Wilson headquarters are to be op-.
ened this week at ~ Broadway, New
York, with Mr.. Goltra in general
charge, and with group of wealthy
Princeton men looking after the i'm
portant business Of raising money to
manage the preconvention plan
This is the substance Of the story
brought back by politicians who were
present at the National Convention
Congress at Kansas City. Mr.. Byran
spoke there, spending most Of 2 day
and night. During his stop in Kan
sas City. he conferred with many
Democratic leaders. In substance, he
said to all of them, according to all
accounts:
'tIt is not my desire to discourage
any mans ambitions; I am certainly
not going to be put in the position Of
appearing to attempt dictation. You
gentlemen go right ahead with your
plans and ambitions. But Wilson is
The man who is going. to be nominal
I'd. It's lust as good as fixed"
That Mr.. Bryan is for Wilson in,
stead of Champ Clark is regarded as
the most important development. The
differences between the Nebraskan
and the Speaker are commonly re-
ferred back to the Underwood-Bryan
incident, and to umbrage Mr. Bryan
is alleged to have taken. because Mr..
Clark Gid not stand for the Bryan
ideas in connection with the wool and
steel schedules. At any rate, the de-
lection of Bryan from Clark is ac-
cepted as very well established.
The recent death of Col, Nose Wet
more, the St. Louis tobacco million
aire and friend of Bryan, opened the
way to the selection Of new national
committeeman from that State.
The most difficult part Of the pres
ent story to accept is that Goltra is
to be made the new Missouri COM
mitteeman. He is frankly a Wilson
man, and his selection would be in ef-
feet a reputation of both Folk and
Clark.
Champ Clark is not in position to
oppose Folks dispositions, because
re was chairman Of the convention
which endorsed Folk for Missouri's
Presidential choice.

"Over in Montgomery, the other
day, several thousand men-Southern
men-interested in cotton assembled
to take action looking to al intelli-
gent marketing of the crop. At that
time it was not even partially appar-
ent that cotton would open three
weeks earlier than it has ever been
known to do, and that the situation
that exists today would develop in
spite of any retroactive movement, no
matter how intelligent or forceful it
might be. A wise policy was decided
upon and it was determined to apply
Southern brain to the financing OF the
distressed cotton. The latter, how
ever, could not be done all in the
twinkling Of an eye, and the opening
occurred earlier than ANYBODY could
expect. Every man there knew that
there was certain proportion of dis
tressed cotton that would either have
to go to market or be financed. This
cotton has about all gone to the mar
ket, and the effect OF it has been re-
fected in the phenomenal drop in
price; that drop On its face seems
alarming, but it is not frightening
those who are handling, to the best of
their ability, the situation. I don't
know whether Mr.. Barrett is going to
be able to secure the French-English
loan or not, but do know that if !
