Baltimore, July 3.-W. J. Bryan in
a statement said last night that the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson, on
a progressive platform, meant an
overwhelming victory for the demo-
cratic ticket next fall.
Mr.. Bryan said:
"I feel sure that the action of the
convention thus far will appeal to the
country. 1 had no choice among pro-
gressive candidates because from the
first / included Governor Wilson in
every list which l had occasion to
make. His action In coming out
strongly against Mr.. Parker for tenn
porary chairman was the turning
point in his campaign. The country
is progressive. Nearly all Of the dem
ocratic party and more than half OF
the republican party are progressives.
l am satisfied that with Mr.. Wilson
running for president on the platform
which has been prepared there are
comparatively few progressive repub-
licans who will not feel justified In
supporting the democratic ticket. II

less than 100000 majority of the
popular vote and enough OF the elec-
toral votes to give us an overwhelm-
ing majority in the electoral college
