BRYAN AROUSES
| BIG RESENTMENT
Democrats All Over the State Have
Been Criticising Butting Into
State Democracy
RYANS CUTTING REMARKS
Mccormick Caravan on the De.
fensive Through a. Tour of
Three Counties Yesterday

secretary OF state Wllllam jennings
Bryan has been anything but an
apostle of peace for the warning Penn
sylvania Democracy and his visit to
this State in behalf of the White
House slate appears to have aroused
latent antagonisms and resentment
among many Democrats who were in
clined to support the Palmer-McCor-
mick ticket. No one appears to have
cared much for Josephus Daniels, Sec
retary of the Navy, who looks like a
ffteen-inch gun and goes off like a
nickel firecracker, or for BILLY" Will
son, Secretary of Labor, because he Is
a Pennsylvania and has been con-
spicuous figure in the formation of the
present Democratic machine. But
Bryan, in view of his past in this
States Democratic affairs, has sue
ceeded in making lot of Democrats
mad. The national administration Is
in the bad graces Of many because OF
the Mexican mess and the results OF
the tariff and Bryan's plea for support
and his advocacy of faction mas
stirred UP the hornets.
Speaking at Pittsburgh last night,
Michael J.. Ryan, opponent OF vance =.
Mccormick for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. declared the visit of Bryan a
confession of weakness. Ryan said:
''The cry that went out to Washing
ton for help but accentuates my claim
that victory is certain. The people of
Pennsylvania will settle their own diff
ferences. The Statewide primaries
would be farce If outsiders could
dictate the nominations. The whole
theory of representative government
would be brushed aside"
The AUDIENCE, which was expecting
something of this kind. enthusiastically
cheered Mr.. Ryans arraignment of
outside interference. Mr.. Ryan said
THE anthracite coal regions are
overwhelmingly for me; the bitumi
nous coal regions are most friendly to
my candidacy. The agricultural coun-
ties, like Lebanon and Adams, reflect
the sentiment that prevails for me
throughout the State; and I know that
IN choosing me as the Democratic can
didate there will follow not only a
united Democracy in which place and
voice will be given to every worker
and in which every Democrat will be
given recognition, but success will fol-
low in November. Winning in Phila-
delphia, can carry Pennsylvania"
The Mccormick caravan was on the
defensive on its tour of Luzerne,
Wyoming and Columbia counties yes
terday and the speech
es of the orators were
Mccormick marked by a plaintive
Caravan note in which t h e y
Defending contended that h y
were the only uphold
ers of the administra-
ton and were being cruelty assailed.
Congressman Palmer, usually suave,
lost his temper at. Bloomsbury last
night and savagely denounced his
rivals and those who are firing on him
because of the manner in which fede-
raj patronage has been ladled out.
Judge John NJ. Garman sent the cara
van out of Wilkes Barre with a part
ing volley in which he challenged Nc
Cormick to stand up and tell all about
his labor record. The caravan found
that the Bryan visit had not helped
much, but had rather intensified op-
position to the White House slate.
In the midst of the brawling over
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor it is refreshing to turn to the
Republican campaign.
in which the preemi-
nent fitness of DR.. Reynolds Is
Martin G.. Brumbaugh Strong for
is recognized on every Brumbaugh
hand. There are sew
eral men who aspire
to run for governor on the Republican
ticket but the campaign 10 being con-
Quoted in q dignified manner, each
recognizing the right of the others to
run. Speaking of DR.. Brumbaugh's
fitness. Lieutenant Governor John NJ.
Reynolds has added to what has been
said by Governor Tener and others
in these words:
Doctor Brumbaugh possesses the
talent so essential to public men, of
speaking Just at the right time and
then saying the right thing. His gentle,
kindly and approachable nature, be-
hind which are a will and purpose
distinctly positive; his large expert
ence in executive affairs and his fa-
miliarity with the needs of the State
his deep learning and his wide asso-
citation with distinguished men in pub
lie life, will make of him an ideal exc
cutive and candidate who will arouse
great enthusiasm among his follow
ers. Tracing his lineage through a
race of deep thinking, progressive lib
eral people-always interested in the
welfare of others-he is in my judg-
ment the embodiment of the training,
culture, brain and conscience so much
desired in the States chief magistrate,
