LINCOLN, Neb., May S1.-While
Taft apparently has majority of

tends to be candidate before the
people and, II necessary, will organ
ize bolting convention. Either Clark
or Wilson can defeat Roosevelt or
Taft in November. This is the gist OF
an editorial forecast by William j..
Bryan, In his Commoner today. The
Bryan prediction is as follows:
I'VE have now approached near
enough to the republican national
convention to forecast the action of
that body. Ex-President Roosevelt,

the northern states, while President
Taft seems likely to have majority
of the convention including the south
ern delegates, who represent merely
patronage and Doodle. Mr.. Roosevelt
has been careful to arrange for con.
testing delegates from the south-this
was the first indication of his inten
tion to bolt. With a majority of the
northern delegates he Is In posi-
tion to have convention of his owr
in case his contesting delegates are

THE conclusion, therefore, is that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be the nominee o.
