Compliment to Bryan

or Mr. Bryan it may fairly be
said that he was the big figure
of the convention. His spectacular
actions may have caused bitterness
here in Baltimore this week, but, on
the whole. 1t is hardly to be doubted
that they will help the ticket inn
mensely at the election in Novem-
Der. For they put the stamp Of pro-
gressiyeness indelibly upon the ac-
tions of the convention.
Part of the debt of the conven-
tons members and visitors to Mr..
Bryan the Sun has already acknowl-
edged. Another part 1t hereby CON
fesses, and that is the debt we are
all under to him for keeping things
lively during the proceedings, for
furnishing to those present the
greatest political entertainment Of
recent times. And the best thing
we can say of him just now is this;
That in the last few hours preceding
the nomination of Mr.. Wilson, when
various statesmen and orators were
usurping the Iimelight; when rep
resentatiyes Of Alabama, and Nilsson
RI and New York, and the Massa-
chusetts. and California and other
States We're releasing their candi-
dates and explaining their views and
setting themselves straight; when
the thought uppermost in the minds
Of most OF the people present was Of
the Nebraskan and what he was
thinking Of it all, Mr.. Bryan was
content to sit quietly in his chair,
with an enigmatic smile on his face,
and let others mount the stage.
He was the one man there who
did not have to remind the conven-
ton visitors and the convention del
egates OF his presence, - Baltimore

WILSON AND MARSHALL

Hon. Woodrow Wilson was the
logical candidate. Under existing
conditions the Democratic party
acted wisely. 1t did the very best
thing that could have been done and
has done a lasting good to the coun-
try at large 1nat he will be elected
by the largest majority ever given
any candidate is conceded fact, We
feel that he will make one of our
greatest presidents and serve the
people honestly. His intellectual
powers and his honesty of purpose
will achieve great and good results
for the American people. No one need
have fear for this republic while
Woodrow Wills n Is in the presiden-
tial chair. Firm in his convictions
of right, he will strive to do the
greatest good for the largest number.
His nomination has made the Demo-
cratic party stronger than ever be-
fore and his election will go far to-
ward solving the intricate problems
of government that are now before
the American people, He will make
a president that VII go down in his
tory as one of the greatest.
Governor Thomas r. Marshall.
candidate for Vice-President, is a
great man for second place and in
many respects is equal to Mr.. Will
son. Surely the Democrats of the
country have splendid ticket which
is bound to win victory by an over
whelming majority.

Taft Declines to Make any Comment.
President Taft heard the news Of
Governor Wilson's nomination while
at luncheon in the White House with
Mrs. Taft and ,1ther members OF his
family The president DEFINED to
make any comment.
Friends of Mr.. Taft, however, say
that they could find grain Of COM
fort in the selection Of the Baltimore
convention. Expecting Colonies
Roosevelt to continue his plan for q
third party they count upon The PHI
gressive element splitting between
Roosevelt and Wilson. It is we'll
known in Washington that the pres
ident and his friends feared the nom
ination Of Goveror Hartman or Oscar
Underwood far more than they did
that Of Governor Wilson.

WHAT n. Y. PAPERS HAVE TO SAY


Commenting on Wilson's nomi-
nation, the New York Times says
today:
The Democratic party in the nom
ination Of Wilson is reborn. It
will be recognized and will once
more have the confidence Of the
people. 1t reduced Roosevelt's bolt
to the portion Of a Republican
quarrel.
The New York World Said:
He will be the first president Of
the United States in a generation to
60 into office owing favors to no.
body except the American people.
Governor Wilson's nomination
means the rule Of the boss is over.
Hearst's American said:
The Progressive West Virginian. [volume] (Williamson, W. Va.) 1911-1913, 1912-07-04

The New York American will
support the nominee. Whoever else
may rise or fall in the future Of the
last convention Of the Democratic
party, William Jennings Bryan
comes out Of it stained forever and
stamped by his hYpocricy and his
hate as fraud and a damagogue,
false in language, false in profess
ion and false in friendship as to
party.
The Herald said:
The victory Of the radical ele-
ment at Baltimore will be a killing
frost to the hope Of the projectors
Of the new third party. It was
even a greater triumph for Mr..
Bryan than it was for Mr.. Wilson.

Republican Governor Comes Out for
Wilson.


In a lengthy statement issued
Governor Osborn of Michigan voiced
his sentiment against a third party
and expressed a hope that Col.
Roosevelt would abandon his plan
for a convention in August and not
be candidate for the presidency.
The Michigan governor was one
lof the seven governors to meet in
Chicago and request Roosevelt to
become an active candidate for the
Republican nomination.
Governor Osborn says he sees no
necessity for a third party just now.
He praises Governor Wilson and
says Republicans can vote for the
New Jersey governor without leav-
ing the party or boiling. He asserts
THAT the real Republican party has
no candidate for pesident this year.

Murphy in support to Demo-
cratic Ticket.
William J.. Bryan in a statement
at Baltimroe said that the nomina-
tion of Woodrow wilson on pro-
gressive platform meant an over
whelming victory for the democratic
ticket next fall
81 feel sure that the action of the
convention thus far will appeal to
the country said Mr.. Bryan Il had
no choice among progressive candi-
dates but from the first / included
Governor Wilson in every list ! had
occasion to make. His action in
coming out strongly against Mr.. Par
ker for temporary chairman was the
turning point in his campaign.
Il am satisfied that with Mr.. Will
son running for president on the
platform which has been prepared,
there will be comparatively few pro-
gressive republicans who will not feel
justified In supporting the democrat
ic ticket. If ! were to make an esti-
mate / would say that we ought to
have not less than two million ma
jority of the popular vote and
enough Of the electoral vote to give
us an overwhelming majority in the
electoral college.
ut is fortunate that Mr.. Wilson j
nomination was made without The
aid of Mr.. Murphy. It is no reflection
upon the many men in the New York
delegation to say this.
From every standpoint the out
look is hopeful The dawn is here
and progressive democracy will be
the peoples pillar Of cloud by day
Among those who came out in
statements pledging support to the

HARD on TAFT FROM
REPUBLICAN SOURCE
Severe Thrust From Sandy Valley
News
Which Has Joined the Roosevelt
Column.

The republican ticket is divided
into fat greasy, Taft, Striped
clothes Bosses, Barns and Cox, Al
ALBANIA and Louisiana corn field mig
gers, Louisa Summers and the
Devil,
Against
Colonel Roosevelt, the honest
plain people, Square Deal and the
Lord of Hosts,
In Oldtn times, in heather land,
such bunch as Taft leads, cruel
fed Christ, and the Ides of Novem-
Der will tell whether or not history
will repeat itself, in this most civ
ilizeed country on the globe.
Driven to desperation by tire votes
of the plain people in the primaries
for Colonel Roosevelt, President
Taft and the coterie of thieves with
which he consorts unseated these
delegates and put seventy Of their
own stripe in their places. These
Vampires Of American freedom will
not come around crying that they
are the regular party and the vote
for them this fall will show how
many Hoodlums of hell are in the
republican party.
If such thieving bunch as stole
the delegates at Chicago, should
get control Of this government this
fall, the suffering and heartaches
they would cause would make the
devil stand appalled,, and wish he
had never formed an alliance with
these flannel mouthed, rule or ruin
anarchists who have puked defiance
into the face of every honest mar
in America.
