Peerless Pettifogger Has Nothing But Praise For Wilson's Rank
 Treachery
SAYS GOVERNOR
 WAS JUSTIFIED
And, Naturally, He Can See No Merit at All in Work Done by Colonel
 Harvey
IfSSociated Press Dispatch

LINCOLN. Jan 23-William J. Bryan takes the side of Woodrow Wilson in his break with Colonel George Harvey and Henry Watterson and iustifies the action of New Jer- sey's governor in asking that his name be withdrawn from the col umns of Harper's Weekly. In a let ter sent from the east. made public tonight Bryan said: The recent break between Governor Wilson and Colonel Harvey illustrates the futility ot cooperation between men who look on public questions from differ ent points of view.
 It is absurd for Colonel Harvey's friends to talk about his bringing Wilson out No man or paper could have made Wilson an available can didate had not he himself attracted attention. Let us assume Harvey was doing all he could for his choice: what was the situation? His con spicUous support not only was of no advantage. but became actually a disadvantage, for 1t did not bring Wilson any support from the class for which Harvey speaks, but alien ated men just as honest as Colonel Harvey's friends. who could not un- dcrstand why Harvey praised Wilson personally without endorsing the things for which Wilson stands
 This naturally aroused suspicion as 10 the sincerity of one or the other. When Wilson was asked the question he adm tied he regarded the support of Colonel Harvey as a liability rather than d resource. Should he pretend Harvey was help ing him when he was not? Why should Harvey complain: IT he re- ally faVors Wilson, he must desire to aid him. why should he be of tended. then, al Wilson's frankness? |? He is more interested in being known as the man who made Wilson fam Ous' than in advancing Wilson's cause. IL must pain Wilson to break with old friends. but breaks must necessarily come unless he turns back CT they go forward. A man is known by the company he keeps. and he cannot keep company with those going in the opposite direc- tion. Wilson must prepare himself for other assertions. They will dis tress him. but there's abundant con solation in duty well done"
