ANDOSCAR UNDERWOOD

Lincoln. Neb., Nov l6.--Praise of
Governor Foss as a presidential pos
siblity and criticism Of Harmon and
Underwood, are features on the first
page of Bryan's editorial comment in
todays issue of the Commoner. OF
Foss, Bryan says:
The reelection of Governor Foss,
in Massachusetts,. on radical plat
form. advances his stock in the presi-
dental market. He was elected a
year ago and is now reelected on a
platform that leaves no doubt as to
his positive ana aggressive stand for
remedial legislation. If you are a
progressive Democrat read the Mass
achusetts platform and the election
returns and then ask yourself What's
the matter with Foss?'
THE Commoner is not attempting
to express an opinion as to the rela-
tive availability of the various progress
sives who are being discussed but ]
take pleasure in calling attention to
the fact that Governor Foss is. not
only one of the men to be considered

but to the further fact that his claims
upon the party have been materially
strengthened by the endorsement Just
given him by the voters of Massa-
chusetts"
Concerning Harmon, Bryan declares
the Ohio governors strength is shift
ing to Underwood. AS to the latter,
Bryan says:
His nomination would, however,
be unfortunate for the South, for his
defeat would be wrongfully charged
to his location instead of being charg-
ed, as it should be, to the fact that
he is not in harmony with the pro.
gressive spirit of the day.
"If the South wants the candidate
and there is no reason why that
