Bryan, and toward Wilson there is COM
paratively good feeling.
In other words, Bryan is acting as a
sort of wind shield to Wilson.
Strong demand went up YESTERDAY
after Wilson had been named to have
him hurry to Baltimore and address the
convention. But his leaders at once sat
down hard on the proposal They feared
to have Wilson attempt to talk at such
a time. when there was SO much feel
Ing, and would not listen to the idea.
They said Wilson should wait until
the storm had In some measure passed
and died down and for him to rush in
and. talk on the spur of the moment
might merely add fuel TO the flames.
=, One OF the most interesting phases Of
the situation left after the convention
is the Bryan-Hearst feud. This feud
was on before. But now II has been re-
doubled in intensity.
Hearst has undertaken the Job Of
putting Bryan out Of business" said
the Clark leaders. whose anger burns
and smolders toward the Nebraskan.
The feud is regretted by those leaders
Democratic party in November. But
there seems no way to stop 1t. Bryan
Is bitter toward Hearst and vice versa.
On the one hand, the antagonists of
will injure Bryan before he finishes with
him., and on the other the friends of
Bryan are saying Hearst will be the
loser by the fight he is putting up.
Will Hurt Cause.
In spite of the fact Hearst has come
out for Wilson, and Bryan will make
the fight for Wilson to the limit, It is
certain this Hearst Bryan conflict is 60
ing to hurt the Democrats before No
States. New York is one OF them.
, 1t Is easy to look back now and see
the blunders that were made Prob
ably every man in the convention

| lost him the nomination when they
consented to support Parker for tenn
porary chairman. The Clark leaders
themselves admit it.. They have no
mitted Murphy to have his way in
matter that called for the most skill
full generalship.
Underwood Support.
However, there was one situation,
| aside from the Parker matter, as to
which the Clark leaders did not reckon
wisely. This was in the matter of get
ting the Underwood support. 1t does
not appear they had any promises from
Underwood. They simply reckoned they
had and could maintain for a series
of ballots a majority of the convention.
This fact, they thought, would pull the
Underwood following into line. But in
this they were mistaken: Underwood.
when Clark was getting his majorities,
still firmly believed the convention
would swing to him eventually. Be
sides, most of his own delegates were
Wilson men, no less than 81 of the 48
from Alabama being for Wilson next
to Underwood.
One of the big questions now looming
up is the financing of the Democratic
campaign. 1t Is not to be expected the
financial interests attacked by Bryan
will shell out" Still there is not much
worriment on that score among the Will
son lieutenants. They say that the
thousands of men over the country who
have fought for Wilson because of ad-
miration for the man and the things
he is supposed to stand for will them
selves pile up big campaign fund IL
need be.

TAMMANY STUNNED
BY VIII SON VICTORY
Reorganization of Machine Is Threatened Following
Failure of Murphy to Ougeneral Bryan-Oues-
tion of Financing National Campaign.
By JOHN SNURE.

That a smashing blow has been struck
not merely at Tammany, but at cor
rupt political machines wherever they
exist is one OF the big facts that sticks
out from the aftermath of the Demo-
cratic convention.
Talk is going the rounds already that
one result OF the convention may be a
reorganization of Tammany, and loss of
Murphy's leadership. Whether this
eventuates II is certain there is sore
ness in the bosom of many Tammany
brave over the dull fashion in which
Murphy captained things. over the man.
ner in which he allowed himself to be
completely outwitted by Bryan. And
out Of this there is going the rounds
further comment that the time has
come when Tammany, II II wants to
retain it's influence. must take unto
itself leader who Is capable of taking
a broad view of national AFFAIRS and is
not simply a local politician.
Men like O'Gorman and SulZer are
thoroughly disgruntled with the manner
in which Murphy handled things.
Whether Murphy's rule is broken soon
may be doubted, but he has unQues-
tionably sowed the seeds of no end of
future trouble for himself.
And in something OF the same fash
ion. the, local and State. machines else
where, in the opinion Of astute observ-
ers Of the effect of the Bryan fight at
Baltimore and the nomination of Will
son, in spite OF machine opposition, may
be expected to have their troubles:
home. Many Of the men who followed
their dictates will have no end of
explaining to do. Whatever Speaker
Clark may say of his alliances, the
70 to N
was lined up for him.
As a Crusader.
That William ]. Bryan is going to de-
vote himself more earnestly than ever
to the cause of progressive politics is
the opinion OF his friends today. They
say the future offers nothing for him
Through press and platform he will be
heard. He has earned such enmities at
Baltimore that he can never reasonably
hope to be the Presidential nominee
Now that the long-drawn-out conven-
ton Is over general surprise is ex-
pressed at the fact that there Is less
sign OF bitterness than was expected.
This is explained by the fact 1t was a
fight to a finish.
The fight to finish was a good
thing" said Congressman Pepper, OF
Iowa, today. 1T has served to clear
the air and to make the Feeling better
than It would have been otherwise"
Speaker Clark probably never will re-
cover from his soreness at Bryan. And
the same It true of many of the men
who fought under The Clark standard.
Not only did Bryan ALLEVIATE the men
and interests he attacked directly, but
many of the Clark leaders are gong
home feeling they have been put in a
false position by Bryan. They realize
they are going to have to make show
ing 10 their constituents just why they
are not tarred and tainted.
The result is that the currents Of
wrath and anger toward Bryan are
broader and deeper than ever in his
own party. But at the same time this
works out in a fashion that Is not bad
for Wilson. The disappointed are ex-
pending most Of their feelings on

Tor his home in Lincoln. Neb. Before

BelVedere Hotel. Party leaders, great

Among these the general sentiment
was that the Commoner. while he had
won personal victory in his con-

party leader. and that Woodrow Will

candidate for the Presidency, would
become the actual leader of his party
