Mr.. Wilson Should Make
His Own Cabinet, Includ-
ing Mr.. Bryan, if He
Desires His Aid
The New York American prints the following:
10 the Editor Of The american:

Sr-I note of The American in
which you vigorously oppose selection Of Mr. Bryan by Mr.
Wilson his secretary of
With your consent like express the columns Of
The American an opinion differs from yours not in
gard Bryan regard the propriety Of Mr.
Wilson selecting Mr. Bryan.
1t is undoubtedly the right the duty of any newly
elected president the organize his cabinet
his plans in accordance with what he HIMSELF
believes to his administration of his
party and of his country.
Mr. certainly received sufficiently large popu-
lar vote of confidence ordinary privileges
Of the president
II would 0 be the duty of good Democrats,
and in fact good citizens generally irrespective party
Wilson the exercise of his best judgment and
efforts until may prove that his
and of the party and the
country
If Mr. Wilson believes that Bryan any other
the country cabinet position he should be
allowed that without the nterposion of any
necessary objections obstacles the of good Democrats
aud good citizens
will held responsible the of his
mnsration and he entitled every proper
and invite proper aid to make his administration
cessfu-
The question whether Bryan would really be of adj
the administration matter of opinion and Mr. Will
sons opinion is the which is Of chief importance
While the of is entitled entertain opinions,
should think, express them at time way to
Mr. Wilson undue embarrassment.
For my part | personally exactly same opinions
you expressed of Mr. Bryan visionary character of
mind and also of his wenown sefshness and ingrattude
realize that Mr. Bryan has made speciality of sacrificing
his friends the altar of his ambitions and realize
that he has sacrificed his party several occasions by subs
ng his personal fads and fances for the actual and
cepted principles of the progressive
Still feel that Mr. Bryan has in the main, exercised
powerful influence in the direction of radical and reform
ures influence may possibly be of peculiar
vanfao in thp fOrtheom De adm atiOn
Ii that Mr.. Bryan has been elected president
upon Of the occasions that he has for that office and it
probably that he is not qualified and that the people do
not believe him to be qualified for executive position
Still that does that he extremely
liable advisory capacity The great of this country
iudeous radicaism, combination might exceedingly
advisable in which Mr. Wilson would furnish the Judgment
Nh. Bryan the radicalism
There is another point relation question
be of general interest and Importance but which Mr.
Wilson consider we moi blame him for con
sdering.
Champ the choice of the people in the vast ma
ior of states in which popular primaries had been held before
the Baltimore convention.
Champ Clark would certainly been nominated by the
Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan CRAFTY his revenge
ambitions had nterfered and induced the defeat of Champ
Clark.
Whether an object OF Mr. Bryans activity but
certainly a result of it, Mr. Wilson nominated.
If Mr.. Wilson had not been nominated certainly he
would not have been elected and Mr. Wilson may, therefore
very properly his nomination and his election
in good part Mr.. Bryan.
He may naturally feel therefore gratitude as
public policy requires the selection of Mr. Bryan
commendabe sentiment of gratitude politicians no
iudicious person find fault.
1t is generally understood that Mr. Bryan is willing
his country capacity in which he useful
and it further understood that Bryan believes that he
could render his best administration and the
country secretary of the treasury
If Mr. Wilson and Bryan are in accord in this matter
and are convinced that Mr. Bryan services in such capacity
will be of value the nation and will success
the administration it that the Democrats
should accept this view Of the grace pos
be and do our best facilitate and further that
administration Of government which we parsans and as
patriotic citizens, so deeply desire
