Wilson and His "Dlscoverer."

Wilson and His "Drscoverer."
 There is article in the Golfers Weekly, the last of series by William Inglis the rise President Wilson which every voter should read. MT Ingls was an associate of Colonel George w Harvey on Harpers Weekly. Colonel Harvey is the man who discovered Woodrow Wilson and with the United States Senator James Smith made him governor of New Jersey At that time Colonel Harvey said that the governorshp was intended by him only to be a stepping stone for NIT. Wilson to the presidency.
 Mir. Ingis writes only of things that within his knowledge of his conversations with Colonel vey, Mir. Wilson and William J. Bryan or conversa- tons he heard between among those figures The article covers that period within which Mr. Wilson dis played his ngratitude to Colonel Harvey and re- quested that Harpers Weekly should no longer sup port him for the nomination for the presidency Yet after the nomination. Chairman McCombs of the dem ocratic national committee called upon Colonel Harvey to enlist his aid in the presidential campaign was given but with so much secrecy that Colonel Harvey did not visit the democratic headquarters but advised Mr. McCombs in headquarters secretly main taned in a hotel
 The article contains the correspondence between Mir Wilson and Colonel Harvey relative to the with drawal of the support of the Weekly Mir Wilson ex- pressed the personal regard Colonel Har vey but he afraid the support of the paper would hurt him among the peape In that letter Mir Wilson with a singular naivee proclaimed himself demagogue. There expression of high ideals. MT. Wilson was concerned only with the business of getting votes.
 Mir. Ings displays the real inwardness Of MT Bry- and and makes clear a situation that those who fol- lowed the proceedings of the Baltimore convention were morally certain existed Bryan was at first in his conversations with Harvey opposed to Wilson: he believed he too narrow" Colonel Harvey believed that he would broaden with any situation in which he might be placed. Bryan later favored Wilson when Clarks great strength began develop offered
 preext for his abandonment of Clark the fact that the New York delegation was supporting him.
 When Clark began to recede and Wilson began coming forward more rapidly than Bryan desired he anxously inquired of Colonel Harvey whether the New York delegation going turn to Wilson. He was then seeking pretext to from Wilson. Bryan was never good judge of men; he used the false measurement of himself in measuring them. Know ing how outrageously Colonel Harvey had been af- fronted by Wilson, Bryan assumed that Harvey would try to burden him with the support of the New York delegation and give Bryan his desired pretext- But Harvey did the other thing. He kept the New York delegation out of the Wilson camp telling Charles F. Murphy that he had nothing to expect from the nou- ination and election of Wilson He knew that that delegation was not needed by Wilson Of all the men m Baltimore, Bryan could not have made more un- fortunate selection of instrument in his choice of Colonel Harvey
 On the night before the nomination of Wilson Charles F. Bryan called on Colonel Harvey and told him that W. J. the next morning would move for the adjournment of the convention for a month if he thought the Clark and Underwood forces would sup port it. Colonel Harvey knew they would do so if it were suggested to them. He also knew that Bryan would not dare to make the motion without positive assurance that it would have their support He also knew that Bryan could overtures directly to them and he believed that Bryan had chosen him alone for that purpose.
 Harvey sequestrated himself and was accessible to no one except nglis until he appeared in his seat in the press gallery the following morning MT Bryan took the floor and appeared to be worried He kept looking toward the gallery Harvey gave no sign Bryan feared to offer his of adjournment and the convention proceeded to the nomination of Wilson That the motion would have carried there is not the slightest doubt and Wilson's chance would have passed with it. So Colonel Harvey in spite of the ngratitude of Wilson, kept his enemies from meet ing to conspre against him.
