WOULD BRYAN AND WILSON
STAND BY THE PARTY If
UNSUCCESSFUL IN BAL
TIMORE!

The talk about Roosevelt boiling the
party. in the event that he does not
secure the nomination, and the colon
els prompt reputation of the idea
naturally awakens the thought as 70
what the attitude of Gov. Wilson will
he in. fhe event that his supporters
tail to control the convention and n
more conservative Democrat secures
the nomination. Col Roosevelt has
emphatically asserted that he Will not
oppose Taft if he is the standard bear
or of his rarity. but there has been no
assurance from Wilson and Bryan tha'
ev will do likewise if Harmon. or
some otner representative of Dem
ocracy not especially aligned with
them is nominated at Baltimore. The
fact that Bryan bolted Grover Cleve-
land and voted for Weaver, the Pop
ulist candidate, does not make it ut
all inadvisable to pin him down at this
time, if possible. to some definite an
nouncement on this line. Wilson's at
titude, too, is not exactly such as to
inspire full confidence in his de-
Termination to adhere to the party de-
cision in the event that it does not Sc
lect him as its candidate
Only recently Wilson publicly ex-
pressed his delight that party lines
no longer sit with any especial weight
on the shoulders of the nation He
did not even resent the intimation
that a ticket made up of Roosevelt and
Wilson, or Wilson mad Roosevelt
would be a proper solution of the diff
ficulties facing the "Progressives" Of
the country. The old party lines are
worn out" said Wilson. Such express
sions, combined with rBryan's we'll
known personal hostility to every
prominent Democrat who does not
endorse his own views, which have
largely been adopted by Gov Wilson
as the chief Bryan satellite at this
time, makes it a somewhat open ques-
ton as to whether the New Jersey can
didate for the nomination could be re-
lied upon to give very hearty sup
port to any other candidate if the con-
yention refuses to select Wilson to
lead the fight of 1912.
1t may seem almost like an insult to
Wilson's fealty to the party to ques-
ton what his attitude would be under
such circumstances but the fact tNa
Bryan refused to vote for Cleveland in
his third race coupled with the IN
doubted dominance of Bryan over the
governor, may well make the party
wonder if these two would be found
among the loyal and enthusiastic sup
porters of Harmon, or Underwood, if
either of those gentlemen were named
for the presidency by the party. And
genuine doubt Some one might well
put the question to Wilson, just as it
has been put to Roosevelt. And if
Bryan had to answer a similar query
in straightforward manner it would
help the party to know exactly what
to EXPECT if it is not dominated by the
Bryan Wilson combination in the ap-
preaching convention.
