That's quick work.. said Patrick 4.
McCab!e. the Albany leader But il will
De quick and easy work to elect Wilson.
We uld all We could for Clark | have
no apology for my Iart in it. IL we
failed to nominate Clark we surely did
eliminate Bryan. He was doing every
thing he could to obtain an excuse to
bolt. Now he has none whatever / ex-
pect to see him and all other democrats
support the ticket. Wilson will carry New
York state and be elected"
Put Bryan Out of It."

certainly did put Bryan out of it, al
though Clark was defeated. Now we will
all get together ana elect the ticket"

I'VE did the best we could for Clark |

rhnf

the anti-Eryan- Wilson cause TO the limit
Our fight for Clark was one for prin-
ciple. and though We were defeated I do
not regret a single thing we did," said

Had the Underwood men remained
steadfast we should ultimately have de-
feated Wilson,, observed Chairman
George NJ. Palmer of the democratic state
committee.
Senator O'Gorman's Views.
Senator OGorman. who sat beside
Chairman Murphy. more discreetly re-
marked: Speaker Clark has demon
strated that he possesses friends who will
fight for him so long as there is life in
them. / had TO choose between two
splendid types OF democrat | selected
Wilson because l believed he would be
surer of election. And he will be
elected
Up TO the very instant that Senator
Bankhead withdrew Underwood the New
York leaders stoutly maintained that
they could stop the nomination of VIII
son.
They were simply stunned by the sud
den loss OF more than ninety votes for
Underwood, which for forty-four ballots
had been cast with the anti-Wilson
forces.
That settles it, shouted State Senator
Timothy D. Sullivan, when he heard those
votes cast for Wilson
Its all over. echoed Lewis Nixon,
who, under cover, has labored for Wilson.
Plead With Sullivan.
Murphy, Sullivan and Judge Parker de-
voted the greater part of last night in
striving to induce Roger Sullivan to re-
gates. which had deserted to Wilson after
midnight.
Stick with us and We can beat Wilson.
Go with him and nominate him and he
will wipe you out of politics. Roger" was
big Tins warning to his Illinois friend
of the same name.
.'Oh, we are all tired out and want to
end il. I'm going to risk it with Wilson,
even if / do get my throat cut" replied
the Illinois leader.
When the Wilson vote jumped above
six hundred, or gain of more than
one hundred on the forty third ballot,
Roger Sullivan shouted across to Muir
ply and Tim" Sullivan: Better get
a aboard"
