Will Bryan Support Wilson?

The Washington bureau OF the Bal
fimore Sun is the authority for a
Dositive statement that William J.
Bryan will declare for Woodrow VIII
son and throw TO the New Jersey gov,
ernor his Influence in the Baltimore
convention. According to the state
ments made by close friends OF Mr..
Bryan he is convinced that the time
Is approaching when he must part

and many OF the speakers friends

chnsetts and California to work done
By Hearst.
Mr.. Bryan has never forgotten
Hearst for boiling the Democrats In
Two out of the three of the campaigns
, III which the Nebraskan was the Dem
ocratic candidate for president. hence
his friends say that before the Balt
more convention is over he will cen
ter his support on Wilson, because h'
does not intend to divide the honor'
With Hearst in naming the candidate
at Baltimore.
The situation has so shaped itsel
as TO justify the action which II Il
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1912-06-17

predicted Mr.. Bryan will take. He
must realize, as other prominent Dem
ocrats do. that the nomination OF
Clark would mean the sacrifice OF the
progressive interests and principles
OF the party, fact that has been
made clear by the poorly disguised al.
lance of Clark with the forces and
influences that Mr. Bryan has been
fighting for years. The nomination
and election OF Clark, whose admins
tration would be controlled by the
vicious influence OF Hearst would con-
vert the Democratic victory into dis
aster.
We do not know that the statement
given out by the Baltimore Suns
Washington bureau is founded In fact,
| but We hope IL is. because whatever
side OF the Democratic fight on which
Mr.. Bryan may finally land his influ-
ence will be powerful factor in d.

yention. and should he throw IL TO

FACE A SIGHT WITH letter

1t was letter. I had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until

When I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-

and draw great big drops Of matter

was sweating; it would run down my
