BALTIMORE. Nd, June 24.-If the
progressives cannot agree on. any other
candidate for the temporary chair
manship of the Democratic national
convention, in opposition to Alton B.,
Parker, William Jennings Bryan will
personally become their candidate. He
made this plain today in a statement
from his rooms in the Belvidere no.
tel. Bryan said that he hoped some
one else would be decided on by the
progressives. but declared that If they
could not get together he would per-
NIT the use of his name for the posi-
tion He also said that he was salts
fed that the conservatives we're try

IF they insist on Parker there is
only one meaning that can be placed
on the action Of the national commit
tee,' said Bryan That is that they
want a vote. We will accept the gauge
and will give them the battle and in
the convention it will be to a finish.
That the Baltimore convention must
nominate a progressive or else there
will be a third party formed, exactly
as was the case at Chicago. was the
declaration today Of Mayor Brand
Whitlock of Toledo. Ohio. "The peo.

PARTY, THREAT OF DELEGATE

Sullivan combination, who are behind
the selection of Parker as temporary
chairman, were openly claiming that
Bryan was for Wilson and that he was
only waiting fo- the psychological
moment to come out fatty for the New
Jersey candidate. The conservative
combination in figuring on its vote on
the temporary chairmanship, insisted
that Parker would receive between 500
and 700 votes.
Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, af-
ter calling on Bryan, declared he had
no doubt that the Clark management
was trying to arrange a trade with the
New York and other conservative dele
cations. The Senator stated that he
did not believe Clark could deliver his
total strength on any such proposition
as the naming Of Parker.
In order to get the Clark forces on
record, Robert s. Hudspeth, national
committeeman from New Jersey, an
nounced previous 10 the opening Of
the committee session that he would
support Ollie James who had been the
candidate of the Clark men before the
subcommittee. Hudspeth made il
plain that he would prefer Bryan for
the position. but accepted James in or

quiescence in the naming Of Parker
