WALLA WALLA, May A. -
Washington may be the first state
to indorse William j. Bryan for
the presidency this year. This
result Is not an unlocked for pos
sibility in the democratic state
convention which meets here Mon
day. as1,.4t.
About one-third of the county

race between Woodrow Wilson
and Champ Clark is so close with
neither having a majority of the
delegates in the convention that a
stampede for Bryan Is considered
likely.
While the Harmon, Clark and

ing each other to the last ditch In
all the county conventions, Bry-
ans name was cheered as en-
Enthusiastically as that of any of
the avowed candidates.
