THE SYMPATHY OF A FALSE
FRIEND
FRIEND.


FRIEND.
Having been chiefly instrumental
in defeating Champ Clark in the
Baltimore convention William Jen-
nings Bryan is trying to escape the
consequences of his infidelity by
saying pretty things about the
speaker in the journal which he
publishes at. Lincoln, Neb., under the
title of the Commoner.
<Unquestionably Mr.. Clark met
with a great disappointment at Bal
timore,' says Mr.. Bryan, "and poll
teal disappointments are often very
keen. They cut to the very quick
the unsuccessful candidate himself,
and they press most heavily upon
those nearest and dearest to him.
But such things are to be classed
among the fortunes of war, and men
of experience and judgment may
sweep them aside as altogether in
consequential"
The photographers define ''incon-
sequential'' as irrelevant or unim-
portant." Hence we are to under
stand that Mr.. Bryan deems it I'M
important to a man of experience
and judgment that he is defeated as
a candidate for the presidency.
It would be impolite to assume
that even the Peerless One is fat
witted enough to believe any such
thing; and it is an insult to the in
telligence of the readers of the Com
mOner to expect them to believe it.
Was it matter of no consequence
to John G. Fremont, the first Repub-
lican candidate for president, that
he was defeated in 1855? Was it
unimportant to James G.. Blaine
that he failed in his aspirations for
the presidency? Is it not fact we'll
known to students of American poll
teal history that CaImon P. Chase
never recovered from the disap-
pointments which he experienced as
a presidential candidate? And can
William J. Bryan himself, with all
his experience and judgment, truly
testify that his repeated defeats
have been of no consequence to him?
We rather think not.
1t is hollow mockery for Will
liam J, Bryan to tell Champ Clark
that he may sweep aside his dis
appointment cas- altogether incon-
seQuential.'
That disappointment, if we mis-
take not, is likely to be fraught with
some very disagreeable consequent
ces to Mr.. Bryan, particularly if he
visits the Ninth Missouri congress
district in campaigning for Wilson
and Marshall. Champ Clark's
friends and nefghbors there cannot
be deluded by Mr.. Bryan's belated
assurance that he would be glad to
see the highest sort of happiness
enter the life Of Champ Clark-and
the life of every one he loves"
Why did not Mr.. Bryan think of
this at Baltimore, where he had the
power to make the wish effective?
Simply because he has never real
1y wished any such thing.

for all -Nnw York Sun

Wilson and Wall Street.

c1al readers and observers of pOliti-
cal events that Woodrow Wilson,
like William Howard Taft, is the
nominee of Wall street, and yet
such is the fact beyond any ques-
ton of doubt. Wilson could never
have received the necessary two
thirds vote Of the delegates without
Wall street.
When the break for Wilson came
after the many ballots had been
taken, and it was shown that he
Acould not be nominated by the pro-
ressives, it was the break of Wall
street and it was this support, led
by Roger Sullivan of Illinois, Tom
.Taggart of Indiana, Charles Muir
ply, the Tammany boss of New
York, and Thomas Fortune Ryan of
Virginia, head Of the Tobacco Trust,
that gave him the nomination.
When the break came and the
Wall street delegates one after an
other declared for Wilson with their
solid State delegations, the eyes of
the convention turned toward Will
liam Jennings Bryan expecting him
at once to take the floor in opposi-
ton to Wilson on the ground he had
himself previously stated, that no
candidate who had the support of
Wall street could have his support
or should be nominated by the con-
ventiOn. But Bryan, to the amaze
ment of both his friends and his
enemies, was speech1ess as the
sphinx. He sat silent as a mummy.
Ale swallowed his own words and
once more proved himself a political
harlequin who could turn himself
inside out under the crack of the
party lash.
When Boss Murphy of New York,
Tom Taggart of Indiana, Roger Sui
1ivan of Illinois and Thomas Pluto
crat Ryan of Virginia gave their
support to Parker for temporary
chairman it was for the express pur-
pose of putting Bryan in the hole
in which he found himself at last.
1t was then that he broke with
Clark, charging that CIark's friends
and followers had supported Par
ker, the Wall street tool, for tenn
porary chairman, and then and there
in speech that breathed defiance
, he said he would support no candi-
date who was favored by the Wall
street gang and that he would OPP
( pose any candidate for whom Muir
Il ply cast the ballot of his ninety
wax figures"
~ Well, it came to pass little later
that Boss Murphy cast the vote of
his ninety wax figures" for Wilson.
The convention went wild, accord
/ ing to the reports, when Murphy
arose and said, New York casts
ninety votes for Wilson" Just pre-
vious to this Roger Sullivan, whom
Bryan four years ago had denounced
as train robber in politics." set
the convention in a mad whirl by
4 shouting, illinois casts So votes
for Wilson" Next followed the no.
torious Tom Taggart of the French
Lick Monte Carlo: Indiana casts
80 votes for wilson" \ A little later
this was REINFORCED by Tom Pluto
crat Ryan and the solid Virginia
delegation also voting for Wilson.
Without this support, Wilson
could not have been nominated.
With this support he is Wall streets
candidate. There is no getting
oround this fact.
Wall street and "the interests
gave Wilson the nomination and if
this statement is not true we defy
William Jennings Bryan to chal-
lenge it. If it is true we challenge
him to show cause why he is not
morally bound to repudiate and
condemn this ticket. His speech

The arena, which has seating capac-

limit. Unlike the Jeffries-Johnson
bout, where the prices ranged from IS
general admission fee to $500 for
boxes, there will be but three differ
ent priced seats and every chair will
be reserved. The best seats will be
sold for $25, the next best at $40, and
the top rows in the arena are being
held at $40. At these prices the pro
moters of the fight are expecting the
gate receipts to yield about S150,000,
which will leave a handsome profit for
all concerned.
