Des Moines. July 3.-Nomination Of
woodrow Wilson disposed finally Of
all possibility Of the reelection Of Taft
a. president, made all the middle west
ern states doubtful, and made more
likely q square partisan fight for the
presidency.
This 10 the way 1t IL sized up here
by both republicans and democrats.
What IL to be the effect on the pro-
posed third party? That IL the ques-
ton being asked on every hand. There
has been no talk here for any third
party, and 1t ID believed generally the
Wilson nomination will make 1t impos-
sible to start such q party. since demo-
cratic progressives win not join it now.
But the Wilson nomination does not in
any way add to the chances for Taft.
rather it makes it less probable he
can be elected, since those who might
have been drawn into . third party
will now be tempted to vote for the
democratic electoral ticket.
Jerry b. Sullivan was the happiest
man in the city yesterday over the
nomination Of Wilson. He came home
Monday morning fully confident Will
son would be the nominee. He had
talk over the phone with Governor
Wilson on the first day of the conven-
ton and went over the ground at Bal
timore with him. What Wilson was at
that time most concerned about was
what was to be the final attitude of
Bryan in the convention. He found
out later.
Thinks Him orsat Man.
Mr.. Sullivan was an original Wilson
booster. He believed In him from the
first and he did what he could. in q
small way, to get Iowa for him. But
it was impossible to make any head
way against the Hearst and Wall
street money that was used here to
carry the state to Clark. In practically
every newspaper office in Des Moines
| the Clark people had their representa-
tives watching every move and ready
to report all signs of activity to them.
They had the state committee and the
national committeeman with them and
the Wilson people had only sentiment
! back of them. Mr.. Sullivan tried hard
to induce Bryan to understand very
early what kind Of game was being
played, and he is now in q position to
say Il told you So II he was Of dis
position to act that way. But he is
| filled with praise of Bryan and his
| work at Baltimore.
1T would have done your soul good
he said. "to have seen the work Of Mr..
Bryan at Baltimore. how he faced those
people. called them by. name. pointed
them out and defied them. And he
won because he was right. It was a
great week for Mr.. Bryan"
Mr.. Sullivan believes woodrow Will
son will be elected and will make a
great president. He will revive some
thing Of the old type Of the scholar
and statesman at the head Of national
affairs" he said. HE will give US an
administration at once strong and
noted for its simplicity and direct
ness"
1t is expected that as soon as the
delegation gets back from Baltimore
there will be celebration Of the event.
not so much because Of what the del
egations did as because some of them
stood out manfully for what was evil
IDENTIFY the sentiment Of the state all
the time. The democrats intend to
get ready for hard campaign right
away.
