Bryan Strength
Prominent Factor.

1t is perfectly apparent that for any
candidate to get the nomination he
must get strength from his neighbor.
Looking about the neighborhood for
the possibilities, the first prominent
strength in the convention has ranged.
on two crucial tests, from $40 to $50 l-2
votes That was upon question of
party principle in each case.
How many Of these will stay by his
advice is the question OF the man re-
mains to be seen. 1t is definitely and
thoroughly understood that If Mr., Bry-
an ca nhelp 1t none of his vote will go
10 either Judson Harmon, of Ohio. or
Champ Clark, of Missouri. The Har
mon feud is of long standing and has
carried Mr. Bryan Ohioward upon di-
vers occasions trying to wean the citi-
zens Of the Democratic party Of that
state from their inclination to elect the
governor to high Office
II rests upon the Bryanesque asser-
ton. repeatedly made, that Governor
Harmon is a reactionary in spirit
The Clark loss of Nebraska favor is
Of later date.
Making a wager on the situation,
the eoldly cslculative would favor the
Clark chance but the chances are that
an anchor would he thrown out against
the ever-turning influence Of the Bryan
tide
Plainly Clark has the nomination In
sured, unless Bryan can, by personal
force. keep him out Of It. The real Sit

tive and radical lines. with the require

son papers, to the effect that Chairman
Charles r. Pendleton vetoed the sug-
gestion made early after the arrival
of the Georgia delegation in Balti-
more that Thomas G. Hudson be elect
ed delegate in place of Thomas E
Watson, who is not here, was incorrect
and entirely unjustified. Colonel Pen
dleton did nothing Of the kind, and had
no Idea of doing anything of the kind
had the Hudson suggestion been pushed
to a vote.
AS a matter OF fact, Colonel Pendle-
ton had nothing whatever to do with
the affair, as it originated entirely with
other people and was called to his at
tention just before the delegation
reached Baltimore. He was not partic-
ularly interested in it, but he would not
have opposed 1t had it come to vote.
He realized that it was only a move
ment to show Hudson a pretty courte-
sy, and as he esteems Hudson highly,
personally and otherwise, he would not
have fought the election.
Word came to the delegation after it
reached Baltimore that Watson likely
would come on and take his place on
the delegation, and for that reason the
Hudson suggestion was dropped.
Clark Second
Choice of Georgians.
A number of Underwood delegates in
Baltimore are beginning to figure
things this way:
. ~ ITnAarunON
not be ne minated after exhaustive and
sincere efforts, Clark should fall heir
to the Underwood strength, for two
reasons. First, because Clark Is the
strongest man before the convention
and likely would make winning fight
thus attaching Georgia to a winner,
and second, because Clark's promotion
to the presidency would mean Under
woods promotion to the national
speakership.
This would leave Underwood in a
commanding position inside the party,
in fine strategetical shape for the nom
ination next time. and in a place where
he might increase his already superb
reputation as a leader, making him
finally a stout hearted and staunch
lieutenant and administration right
bower to help President Clark put
through those reforms called for in the
platform t. be adopted by this conven-
ton
Failing to pluck the presidential
plum for Underwood, his real we'll
wishers and friends are asking them
selves why not get the next best plum,
the speakership, for him, particularly
when 1t may be plucked through such
man as Clark II looks more and
more as II the Underwood break away,
II 1t comes, will surely be to Champ
Clark. The speaker is an easy favorite
over the field in the betting here.

Georgia Delegation
Model of Harmony.

1t is one OF the most harmonious
compact and aggressive delegations in
the entire convention. 1t will vote SOL
idly on whatever II votes upon. There
are no disputes or aggravated differ
ences OF opinion inside the Georgia del
egation.
The Woodrow Wilson people have
reached the climax OF their campaign
here. Every influence possible wheth-
er on the quiet and In secret, or open
and loud OF mouth. has been brought to
bear to waver or make afraid the Geor-
gia delegation 1t has been appealed to
frantically lovingly. dictatorially and
humbly. 1t has remained as the rock
Of Gibraltar against Wilson Wherever
it goes and whatever 1t does, It will
least no Wilson votes. Efforts have
been made to have II appear that Geor-
gia favored, II not Wilson as second
choice, then Gaynor. Georgia's per-
sistent reply has been that she favored
Underwood. Circumstances have so
combined that Georgia has considered
a second choice. and 1t is Champ Clark.
1t never will be the New Jerseyite nor
Gaynor.
No other battle for the presidential
nomination goes forward with the
clocklike precision which marks the
Clark campaign. 1t is not depending
upon noise or fuss or feathers. The
speaker is well liked by practically all
classes of delegates. 1t will surprise
few people IL Clark wins on the second
or third ballot.

GRANGE FAIR.

of Mrs. James Tarbox, was gorgeous

aprons but mostly the more sensi-

being dressed in the same color.
Miss Edith Brooks was busy selling
tickets on an unique work stand,
which she made and contributed
herself. The candy table, bright in
red and white had several surprises
besides homemade candies of all
kinds. One surprise was a flag with
each stick Of candy sold and the
other was the guessing on the num-
Der of pins in a cushion with each
purchase. The pin cushion went to
the one Of most accurate eve. Over
in the south corner was the Jack-o-
Lantern Corner tended by Mrs. viii
Chamberlin, dressed in white and
wearing yellow crepe paper and a
pointed cap. The table was all yell
low. A row of grinning jack-o-lan-
terms, all alight, dared the company
to come and buy one Of the FIVE
cent packages hidden in the big

room was presided over by Mrs.
