TURNING TO BALTIMORE.

The arrival at Baltimore of the
heads of the Democratic national com
mittee and the campaign bureaus and
boomers of the candidates signifies
that the final stage of the struggle is
at hand. While gossip is rife with
respect to the developments attach
ing to the preliminary diminishing at
close quarters, there is reason or
thinking that the game will be a
waiting one pending and the advent
of Bryan Both ticket and platform,
it is said, will hinge measurably upon
the mark set by the Republicans, as
has been the case in the past,
This bit OF strategy is Bryan's long
suit and conditions tend to make 1t
peculiarly applicable this year. Bry-
ans own position toward the nominal
ton awaits determination, as credibly
stated and that he may become can,
ddate in certain circumstances is
pretty well understood by those close
to him. But as he is only to be viewed
in the light of possibility, the pro-
nounced candidates are taking little
not of him as a factor in the race
Champ Clark has substantial lead
over Woodrow Wilson, with Under
wood leading the trailers AS sponsor
for both Clark and Wilson the Ne
braskan has found it necessary to be
more helpful to the latter in order
to keep him well up in the race so
far up that his chances, oddly but
verify, are again canYassed by Wall
street Democrats from favorable
point of view but whether with viii
sons knowledge and consent does not
appear.
If Wall street really fixes upon vii
son, it is surmised that the New York
/ delegation may be won over to his
/ side. But right here Bryan may in
/ terpose with a veto or withdraw from
/ Wilson's ranks the scores of dele
gates he controls Clearly, Bryan is in
position to block any coup contem-
plated by the Wall street Democrats.
Bryan, not Wilson, is the man to lie
reckoned with, and Chicago, not Wall
street, seems destined to have the
most to do with eveutualities at Balti-
more.-W Washington Post,

ASK HELP FOR REUNION
GETTYSBURG COMMISSION
APPEALS TO GOVERNORS.
Want Governors to Notify Vet
Grams of Blue and Gray of
Coming Anniversary.

The Gettysburg association has Is
sued the following to governors Of
various states
Your Excellency.
We have the honor to advise you
that at a meeting OF the Battle Of
Gettysburg Commission held April 30,
1912. the following resolution was I'M
anlmously adopted
Whereas. 1t is important that this
commission shall be advised at as
early a date as possible OF the prob
able number of veterans who may be
expected to be present at the pro.
posed semi-centennial of the Battle
OF Gettysburg;
And Whereas, This information can
be obtained only from the executive
officers of the several states and ter
ritories.
Therefore Resolved. That the gov
errors of the various states and terri
tories be, and that they are hereby
respectfully and earnestly requested,
to invite, by executive proclamation,
or otherwise the surviving honorably
discharged northern and southern
veterans who may now be residents
of their respective states and terri
tories, to report, within 90 days of
such notification to the adjutant gen
eral of their state whether they will
or will not attend the anniversary
"Resolved, That the executives of
the several states and territories be
and that they are hereby respectfully
requested to report to this commits
sion. as soon as practicable, a tabu-
lated statement showing the total
number of responses received, and
the number of veterans who have
responded either afirmatiyely or neg
atively to this request
This information Is vital to us in
the work of preparing for the accom-.
mediation and comfort of the veteran
soldiers who will attend the anniver-
sary. 1t is not available to us from
either the pension bureau or the
Grand Army of the Republic, or the
United Confederate Veterans. There
will, doubtless, be many casualties
anon gthese veterans between now
and the date of the celebration, but a
fair and helpful approximation of the
number to be expected can be secured
In the manner we hereby suggest,
and we very earnestly solicit your
personal good offices in the matter.
We believe that the method we
have outlined in general terms in the
above resolutions if duly noted in the
press of your state, and brought to
the attention of the various posts and
camps of the veterans, will accomplish
its object, but if, in your wisdom, you
can supplement or amend this plan
we shall be happy to have you do so
We greatly desire to have prompt
and general response to our request
and shall be grateful for your kind
cooperation in the matter. We shall
also appreciate your acknowledgment
of this communication and any ad
vices you may feel willing to give,
With high regard we are,
Very respectfully,
Your Obedient Servants,

newspapers. The tendency, therefore,
toward violence on the part of the
whites serves to solidify the interests
of negroes of all degrees and to aceen-
tuate class strife
The best authorities seem to be Of
the opinion that the Cubans are
capable of suppressing the uprising
themselves If the United States will
do patrol work. 1t is therefore unnec-
essary to assume that every move

PREVENTION. The road to efficient demo-
cratic government by people unaccus-
toned thereto is rocky to travel and
one which takes time
Now, one effect of a formidable ma
tional menace like the negro uprising
should be to get the law-abiding ele-
ments of the population into the habit
of working together. SO very likely
when this trouble 10 over the Cuban
people will be in better shape to look
after their own affairs than ever be-
fore. AS an instance of the spirit
which is animating them, 1880 Hav-

is hopeful for the future of Cuba that
there is a steady immigration thither

The Democrats of West Virginia
have never, in the history of the
party, been as successful in getting
all elements of the party at work for
Democratic success as il has been
able to do this year Every conyen-
ton. instead Of being a war of fac.
tions, has proven a yeritable love
feast, and the only effort has been
to recognize every party worker, AMI
to make all feel at tome While all
could not be honored none has been
treated as being undeserving of Ihe
party honors. The Petersburg con
vention was a surprise to many who
were predicting a party scramble. II
was the finest gathering of represen-
tatiye Democrats that ever assembled
in the State and its deliberations
were marked by a friendiness and
party spirit that has not heretofore
been in evidence in Democratic coun-
ellis. The wise politicians who from
the straws can tell where the wind
is blowing, cannot mistake the mean
ing of this getting together of the
party in this State The Democrats
have determined to win and they are
making individuals subseryient to
