be either Bryan and Wilson or Bryan
and O'Gorman.
May Stampede to Bryan.
Delegates nominally for Clark are
said to be ready to stampede to Mr..
Bryan. Some of Governor Wilson's
followers were not pleased with rhe
suggestion Of a ticket to be made up
Of Bryan and Wilson. They declared
that Governor Wilson would not accept
second place on the ticket with Bryan,
hat he was relying on the good faith
Of Mr.. Bryan's declaration that he was
not Il candidate and that inasmuch as
Governor Wilson represented every
thing that DIR. Bryan stands for, in.
Guiding the temporary Craftsmanship
issue, there was no call for Mr.. Bryan
TO become n candidate to meet q de
maud in the party. 1t is the opinion
Of Mr.. Bryan's closest friends here
that he would prefer Senator O'Gor
man as a running mate over any other
name that has been mentioned.
There Is also u marked movement
in favor Of Brynn In the Ohio delega-
ton. The Buckeye State has forty
six votes, of which nineteen are op-
posed to Governor Harmon and nor
mally for Governor Wilson. Under
the rulings of the national committee
and the usages of the party the nine
teen minority votes will be voted for
Governor Harmon. Harvey G. Gar
Der, retired member of the national
committee from Ohio, admitted that
he saw little prospect of securing the
nineteen votes for Governor Wilson.
At heart MIR. CARRIER Is a Bryan
man. He makes no concealment Of
the expectation that he will be able to
deliver the nineteen votes to Bryan at
some time in the early ball0ting and
that he will probably be able to bring
over a sufficient number of votes from
the Harmon column to give Mr.. Bry-
an a majority of the delegation from
Ohio and by reversing the situation
and applying the unit rule to vote for
ty-six votes from Ohio for Bryan.
This was one OF the most interest
ing developments In the Ohio delega-
ton. Realizing that q situation might
arise whereby the unit rule could be
involved to their advantages, the nine
teen delegates representing the minor
ity Of the Ohio delegation were dis
cussing the expediency OF making
nothing more than a nominal resist
ance to the unit rule, voting for VIII
son or Bryan on the call of the roll
by way Of protest and then later on
turning the unit rule to their W &C
count. Mr.. Bryan has a number of
warm friends who are now committed
to Governor Harmon. These men ad
NIT that the sentiment of their dis
tricts is favorable to Mr.. Bryan, but
they feel justified in supporting Gov
ernor Harmon as a matter of homo in
terest and pride.
Connecticut May Start II.
There Is a plan under way to start
voting for Mr.. Bryan very early in the
balloting. Connecticut, which comes
very early in the roll call, is expected
to furnish the first Bryan vote, and
following the suggestion of Bryan'O
name other states are expected to
fall into line. Some votes may be
cast for him on the first ballot.
One of the interesting and gratifying
developments from the Wilson view
point was brought to Baltimore by ex-
Senator Purcell of North Dakota that
their delegates from North Dakota are
at the disposal of Governor Wilson
whenever he desires them. They are
instructed for Governor Burke, having
been chosen at a popular election.
Governor Burke will be in Baltimore
today. His name may not get before
the convention.
Governor McCreary of Kentucky, an
enthusiastic Champ Clark boomer, ar.
rived and gave a decided impetus to
the Clark boom. This was comforting
to the Clark men, who have been q lit
tie doubtful about Kentucky since Mr..
Bryan started his row over the tenn
porary craftsmanship. Representative
Ollie James Is a steady. devoted fol
lower OF Mr.. Bryan. Once the issue is
made on the craftsmanship Mr.. James
nay be impelled to leave Clark and
line up for Bryan on the temporary
craftsmanship.
Speaker Clark's friends are saying
that if James deserted their ranks his
detection would be more than Offset by
the support of Governor McCreary.
Gsynor's Boomers Due.
Mayor Gaynor's managers are look
ing forward to the arrival tomorrow
from New York of the Democratic as.
ISOLATION whom they expect to begin
active work In the mayors favor.
Governor Buidwin's boom Is not yet
in evidence. The Marshall boom
opened headquarters today In the Bel
vedere. There are about 100 enthusi,
astic Hoosier Democrats busy pointing
out the merits of Governor Marshall as
a candidate.
