do with naming delegates to the

Mr.. Bryan got slapped down
pretty hard at the nasionaI com
mittee meeting, but claw me"
he's got such an all-fired way Of
bouncing back that it will be
hard to tell where he will light

Governor Harmon, of Ohio, ap.
pears to be gaining ground on
Wilson and Clark. 1t the signs
do not fail, Mr.: Harmon will be
the Democratic nominee for the
Presidency. He is very strong
man, we'll up IN years, a master
among men, with quiet dignided
manners, a wonderful brain, very
much similar to Cleveland ana
Mckinley, judging from what ne

he has the gift of converting
strong Republican state into
Democratic one and keeping it 30.
He possesses that rare ability to
command and secure the passage of
what he will of the Ohio Leglsla-

people regardless of party lines
believe in him because of his
sheer honesty and unquestioned
ability Troy Montgomerlan.

5choolmastes had the call of the
board at the jackson Day dinner
in Washington last week. "The
Interests" have been doing their
best to disoredit him but SO far
they have failed. The Newton
Enterprise, declaring fer Wilson,
says:
The ,neyed interests are
frightened as they have never
been before by the prospect of his
becoming President. They are or
ganiziag against him. Let not
Southern Democrats be caught
by their specious pleas to our cen
servatlsm.

All the seaat orial candidates
Senators. Simmons, Gov. Kitohin,

soma time ago expressed a pre-
ferelce for primary TO settle the
senatorial contest, and recently
they have conferred with refer
ence TO joinlLg in request to the
State comm ttee to arrange plans
for the primary. In addition
Senator Simmons has made pub
lie letter in which he expresses
desire for some action by the
State committee, the convention,
or by agreement among the can
didates, limiting the amou1t of
money to be used. He properly
says theuse of money IN cam
paigns is much abused and further

even if he desired to spend
it. This is good suggestion In
fact it would be god idea for
the candidates to simply present
their claims to the people and
leave it to the people States
