posed to blame him for not pausing at Miami.
Later on, it was announced in the news
papers that the Hon. w. J. Peerless and our
Lantern Jawed Hero had had a long con-
ference.
It was also asserted that w. J. Peerless
issued from the conference with smile on
his face.
This was encouraging, but not convincing.
An iron-clad, screwed-on smile is a part of
the makeup of such men as Bryan and Taft.

could pull the gargoy]e off Roman Cath

But within the last few days, the situation

Bryan is issuing orders that such old-time
Congressman as Champ Clark Oscar Under

same vintage should displace themselves and
let the youngsters come to the front.

give it to you as my opinion-which you
can take for whatever you think it is WORTH
that when they undertake to eject Champ
Clark from the Speakership, they will get
that kind of fight from the old War Horse
of Missouri that he ought to have made on
Bryan in the Baltimore Convention.
[ also venture to say that the Bryanites
will find an interesting amount of combatiye-
ness still left in Oscar Underwood and A. O.
Bacon.
In other words, think that w. J. Bryan,

steal the nomination for the presidency.
