will not only arouse the resent
ment of the nation, but they will
make their pretensions to progress
sive principles ridiculous 1t would
seem as if it had been Mr.. Bryan's
deliberate intention to destroy ia
Vorable prospects Of the Demo-
cratic party and to prevent the
victory for progressive principles
which seemed certain.
TO accomplish this, Mr.. Bryan
has stopped at nothing He has not
hesitated even to make unwarrant-
ed attacks upon the integrity Of
Champ Clark, man who has been
his devoted friend for eighteen
years"
Mr.. Hearst then said that Mr..
Bryan himself accepted boss sup
port in his campaigns, charged him
with being IAN insolent boss and
a man who fails to respect presi-
Dental primaries.

Democratic party" ne added, there
soon will be no Democratic party

Governor FOSS
.Confers With Bryan

BALTIMORE, July William J Bry
an and Governor Foss. of Massachusetts,
held a conference in the Bryan quarters
at the Bevedere hotel this morning.
Delegates afterwards declared that
Bryans intention was to switch to Foss
for the nomination If upon the first ball
lot today it was obvious that Wilson
could not be nominated. y report gained
general circulation about the convention
hall and the hotels that the Massachu-
sets executive had offered himself as a
compromise candidate.
Governor Foss explained later that he
had called to pay his respects to Mrs
Bryan and the nature of his conference
with Mr. BRYAN had become subject of
interest

In it the effort of Bryan to dictate
his opinions to the Democracy of the
country again and bring about his own
nomination stands out as predominant
Bryan has posed for years as the coun-
try's foremost exponent OF primaries
Now, instructed by the very primary he
himself pretended to espouse, he has
oeen the first man to desert his instruc-
lions. His attack upon Champ Clark
was one Of the most vicious, unjustifed
and unwarranted in the history of the
party. His elimination is the most sig
nificant feature of the Baltimore con-
vention thus far, and I believe that =
means also the elimination of presden-
tial primaries in the party hereafter

MIR Howell is back from Baltimore
because of pressing business engage
ment in Atlanta and because the ma
tional committee, of which he is

Bryan has charged that Clark is in
connivance with the Ryan Belmont
crowd and is not a progressive To
my mind. Clark is one of the best pro
gressives in this country today. If
Clark is not progressive there is no
progressive. and he isn't in any deal
with anybody.
Everybody who has read a single
pa per knows what Bryan is tying to
dot that he is interested in the welfare
of Democracy not half so much as he is
interested in his new attempt to bring
about stampede again that will nomi-
nate Bryan. He has been the trouble
maker Of the whole convention. Wher-
ever there has come semblance of
peace it has been Bryan who jumped
into the ring and started a fight again.
He has been beaten, and | think he has
been decisively beaten. | look for a
nomination within 4S hours, and look

Ian McLaren was asked to give a

a third opened for us a new world

the corruption of the church and re-

world righteousness and wrote the
