NOT AN AvOwtD CANDIDATE
Apparently His Greatest Interest
is to Defeat Conservatives
SEVEN ASPIRANTS in FIELD
None Can Do More Than Hope to Get
Nomination on First
Ballot.

Baltimore, June 25.--Seven of Dem
ocracys strong men are avowed can
didates for the presidential nomina-
ton. None can do more than hope
to receive the required 72S votes on
the first ballot.
Bryan has said repeatedly he is in
no sense candidate, yet he goes into
the convention, as a delegate from
Nebraska, the second choice of more
states than any of the avowed cam
didates. Since his arrival Sunday
night Bryan has AUTOMATICALLY evad-
cd several efforts of friendly dele
gates 40 draw him out on the sub
ject. Y,,i
~ 1t would seem from his demeanor
that his greatest interest was to gain
control OF the convention for the pro-
gressives and prevent the nomination
OF a reactionary While il is admitted
q defeat in his fight against Parker
would be a severe blow to Bryan, yet
his friends do not concede it would
eliminate him as presidential pos
sibilty
AS chairman of the committee on
resolutions which he probably will be
if he Is not made temporary chairman,
Bryan will have an opportunity to
speak on presenting the platform.
Right after that nominations for pres
ident will be in order.
There can be no doubt Bryan is the
central figure here. as Roosevelt was

ter made his fight outside the conven-
ton 20 win the Republican nominal
tion FOR him as the leading progress
i've, while the former is going into the
Democratic convention, apparently to
wage battle for progressivism ITSELF.

by the commission.
The court pointed out that IL he should
set aside these appraisements he would
