BRYAN FOR WILSON,
SAYS THOMPSON
Little Giant of Nebraska Democracy
Brings Message North from
Miami.
WANTS THOMPSON FOR JUDGE
(From a Staff Correspondent. }

(From Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.--(spe-
cial Telegram. New light was
thrown on the vacant federal Judge
ship in Nebraska today through an
interview given TO the press by Judge
w. II. Thompson of Grand Island
previous to his leaving for his home
in Grand Island.
Judge Thompson, who is the DEM
ocratic state chairman Of Nebraska,
having Just come from Miami, Fla.
where he had an extended visit with
Colonel w. ]. Bryan, said:
People misunderstood Mr.. Bryan's
position regarding his relations with
the president.
They differ only on q few principles
resulting from the war, These do not af-
feet their principal relations. MIR. Bryan
will most likely be one of the Nebraska
delegates-at-large 10 the st. Louis con-
vention. The entire delegation will be
for the presidents denomination. Whether
pledged or instructed. Mr.. Bryan will
probably be among the Nebraska delega-
tion, which will be for the president 70 q
man.
''Ncbraska Is for President wilson"
One-Term Plank Disposed OF.
! Regarding the one-term presidential
plank. Mr.. Thompson said he believed
Bryan would not raise II against the
| president. Bryan believes the PLANK
should be again enunoiated in the St

enacted putting II into effect.
That no resolution will be urged by
Bryan in the st. Louis platform which
would embarrass the president or repudl.
ate any OF his policies was the substance
OF the sentiment expressed by Mr.. Thonp,
son. II is MIR. Bryans belief the Wilson
denomination Is assured.
Thompson for Judge.
But what is most significant Mr.
! Thompson presented n letter to AttorneS
General Gregory yesterday when h,
called at the Department OF Justice with
Congressman shallenberger. from Colone
Bryan. wherein tho Commoner respect
fully called upon the attorney general /,
tell President Wilson that he. Mr.. Bryan
wanted Mr.. Thompson TO be appolnte,
to the Munger vacancy.
Above all other things Mr.. Bryan sal
he believed Judge Thompson eminentl,
fitted for the place by reason OF lonl
legal practice and faithful service.
In the light of tho interview which Mr
Thompson gave out today and the Bryal
letter there was a percept.Sie change o
atmosphere about the Department o
Justice with reference to the judgeshi
matter, and a number OF knowing per
sons were put to guessing Just what Al
torney General Gregory would do now.
Up to today It looked very much lik
Judge j. j. Thomas OF Seward for tn
vacancy, but with Bryan's personal az
peal. and the fact that he will place n
obstacles In Wilson's pathway for nom
nation, but rather help him land th
perslmmon. Judge Thompson may rea
