opinion completely about Mr.. Bryan
and hailed him now as the one mar
who had for years seen the country's
real needs and steered Democrats on
the right course.
The rest is recent history. Eigh
teen months ago Col Harvey and Mr.
Wilson parted company. Six months
later Mr.. Bryan nominated Mr.. Wilson
for president, and today is the premier
OF MI. Wilson's cabinet, while Col.
Harvey. unchanged as to Bryanisn
continues in private life and in his
old path.
THE basis of Col. Harvey's predic-
ton as to Senator Borah is not given.

democrats few years ago, are di :
vided, and faction feeling is high, Mr..
Borah is a progressive Republican,
and has just entered on a new term in
the senate. He is young, eloquent,
able and aggressive. Last year he
confined his activities to his own
state, where the Republican factions
were at daggers drawn.

These models are of the latest pat

Mr.. D. H. Burrell, senior highway
engineer of the office of public roads,
