Wilson Next to Hryan.
Senator NewIands then goes ON to
say that he had never believed the
Democratic party would 60 to SO
small a State as Nevada for its Pres
idential candidate, and that, there
fore. HIS candidacy would prove dis
appointing and would divert him
from the Legislative policies which
he sought to promote. Senator New
lands continues.
Realizing the Importance of So
lfdifying the Democratic sentiment
In the West in favor OF that can
didate who best represents the DEM

in sympathy with the progressive
policies for which the West stands.

careful inquiry, come to the conclu-

the Nevada Democrats, without the
opportunity to see or hear Woodrow
Wilson, to regard him as the mar
who above all other candidates
voices the convictions and asptra-
tions of the American Democracy, II
a true instinct. The movement for
higher political standards inaugu-
rated by Bryan has made q profound
impression upon both parties and has
produced a new crop of statesmen
differing In ideals and standards
from those OF q previous generation.
Among these Woodrow Wilson
has become a national voice, and has
become to a greater degree than any
else, except Bryan, representa-
tive OF the Democratic conscience.
His nomination would mean an as
seTttOfl OF higher standards and
ideals that would LIT the party out
OF the rut of small contention and
sectional differences. My regard for
other candidates would incline to me
silence, but / feel that the time has
come for vigorous action, with a view
to concentrating public opinion in
favor of that candidate who best
represents the progressive move

In conclusion Senator Newlands'
letter says it Is evident big business
has isolated Wilson from all the
other candidates and made him the
special object of attack. There is
all the more reason, therefore, that
the Democrats OF Nevada and the
West should recognize him as the
true progressive leader and rally to
his support" he Says.

Representative William Hughes,
of New Jersey, had this to say this
evening OF Colonel Watterson's at
tack on Governor Wilson:
II was both amazed and amused
on reading Colonel W~atterson's
statement to learn that he credited
Colonel George Harvey with being
responsible for the present COM
manding position that Governor Will
son occupies in the public mind with
relation to the Presidency. t
II was a candidate for Congress
when the Governor was making his
campaign and We were in very close
contact, speaking together at various
points throughout my district. !
came In personal touch with him
and his managers constantly, yet
during the whole of that period I
never even saw Colonel Harvey.
From the time OF the Governors
election to the present time I have
been active in the movement which
has come into existence in every
State in the Union, having for It's
