BRYAN CAN'T STEM THE TIDE

Secretary of Labor BILLY" Wilson
has been drafted from Washington TO
help the Palmer Mccormick ticket in
the Democratic primaries next Tues-
day, and will pay particular attention
to explaining McCormick's s labor record:

State William Jennings Bryan at
Wilkes Barre and Allentown yesterday
and his speeches about upnolding the
President by voting for the machine
ticket failed to divert attention from
the attacks on Mccormick, and the
Secretary of Labor will come In on
Saturday for the finishing speeches up
in the hard coal region.
McCormick's defensive play has been
weak and even Palmers interference
has not checked onslaughts. Now they

pleaded for support for Wilson. He
spoke from a train at Allentown and
in an armory at Wilkes-Barre.

night in the city so as to get an early
start on his way to Bellefonte. the first
