Follow.

Lincoln, Neb. March s.-Holding up
Oklahoma as a pattern for other states
to copy in the matter Of progressive
democracy, w ]. Bryan has the fol.
lowing in the forthcoming issue Of the
Commonel
Oklahoma sets an example to pro-
gressives. Mr.. Harmons supporters
were active in their efforts to secure
the state but Oklahoma is progressive
and the fight finally narrowed down
TO Wilson and Clark, and their friends
had the good sense to agree upon a
division Of the delegation half and
half This was an admirable settle
ment OF the controversy and may we'll
serve as an example to other states.
The contest between progressives
should be an amicable one and it will
very much strengthen our party's
chances after the convention If the
friends of Governor Wilson and
Speaker Clark can SO conduct their
campaign as to unite their forces in
