THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

Why are the Democrats SC afraid
of Woodrow Wilson as president?
Why this well-defned eombinatio be-
tween Clark and Underwood against
the New Jersey man? Whatever the
reason, the very actions of the major
ity of the party including its leaders
demonstrate beyond the shadow of Il
doubt that their motives are no more
Wilson represents more than does any
other of the candidates of the party
in the race for presidential honors
those so-called progressive ideas for
which the Democrats themselves have
been so boisterously clamoring; for
those programs which even Mr.. I'M
derwood as leader on the floor of the
house has been trying to put
through and who has con-
planned against the Republic
an senate and the president because
he could not succeed in seeing them
carried out to the end. Yet Mr.. I'm
derwood himself goes into combina-
tion to defeat this man.
Because Mr.. Bryan supports Will
son he too is condemned and his ac-
tivities in behalf of the New Jersey
governor opposed. 1t is quite appar-
ent that the combination is forced not
SO much to defeat Wilson as it is 10
prevent control of the convention by
the Nebraskan, for there is no deny
ing the fact that there is considerable
fear of the Commoner's power in the
Baltimore meeting. Those members o.
the party who have witnessed with
deep regret the inability of Bryan TO
carry their party to success in the
past look with fear and trembling on
the situation now which is bringing
the name of the Commoner more and
more to the front as a possibility. The
sphinx-like silence of Mayor Gaynor
only adds to their fears. Mayor Gay
nor is a warm admirer of Bryan. t
has voted for him every time he ran.
Not very long ago he intimated in u
round about way in conversation with
friend friendship still warm. All
of which means that whatever Mr..
Gaynor says at the proper time will
have considerable weight on the Dem
ocratic situation.
A glance at the Democratic situa-
ton will reveal a more upset condi-
ton than exists in the Republican
ranks, but the Republicans have been
SO engrossed in the controversy be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt that their
attention has been diverted from the
common enemy and its troubles. The
Democrats are fighting among them
selves and there is given little thought
to the future welfare of the country
SO long as one or the other of the of
ficeseekers lands in the White house,
Speaker Clark made rapid gains the
past week, but he is still far from
having enough delegates to assure
him the nomination and at the pres
ent time not Democrat can forecast
who will be the nominee of the party,
Pueblo Chieftain.
