San Francisco, July 4.-WiIIiam
]. Bryan said Sunday night that he
considered 1t expedient for the CON.
vention to 90 outside of the list of
candidates already before 1t, for
nominee, and that he would suggest
number of men.
SIT is hardly fair for the, friends Of,
the prominent candidates to assume that
the Democratic party is insolvent," said
the names of men from various sections
of the United States, including the
south. I have always insisted that the
sectional objection, ike the so-caned
sectional advantages, is very largely
overestimated. AS far back as 1906
told party leaders that I had no OBJ
lection to southern man on the ticket
with me. My theory is that the people
are much more interested in the plat
form a man stands on than in the sec
ton in which he lives"
Brandeis on List.
In connection with his list of pos-
Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Of the SUI
preme court
While / believe in the eleventh hour
entry into the vineyard provided a man
proves himself to be q convert TO pro-
grassiveness," said Mr.. Bryan, II think
that the credentials Of such an aspirant
ought to be carefully examined whether
he now comes into the party or into the
field Of reform
Mr. Bryan Sunday was receiving Wis
itors constantly, many Of whom urged
him to actively engage in the preslden-
tial contest. He reiterated to all,
however. that he was making no effort
to organize fight either for or against
anyone.
III don't object to telling the good
points, whether fourteen or less. of any
fuse to share the responsibility for
man whom I consider unavailable"
Opposes Cox and McAdoo.
Mr. Bryan declined to enter Mt
length upon d discussion of the merits
of the present candidates, and contented
himself with repeating his objection TO
Governor Cox of Ohio, and William G.
McAdoo
my principal objection to Governor
Cox" he said, "is that he is wet, and
think we have passed the time for the
nomination of wet candidate, espec-
tally since the convention voted against
a wet plank By more than two-thirds
majority.
II have also expressed myself as to
the availability of Mr.. McAdoo. giving
as my principal objection his relation to
the president / still hold to the opin-
ION because I think it would divert at
tention from any such merit as he has.
Sunday night Thomas B. Love, OF
Texas. one of the McAdoo managers.
issued this statement:
Press MoAdoo's Cause
1--WE propose to press with renewed
force the movement to nominate Nc
Adoo. We believe the Republicans
at Chicago presented US with a mag
nificent opportunity for victory this
fall A hotel made nomination here will
cast that opportunity to the winds and
rob the Democratic party of the privil-
ege of continuing as of the party pros
gress.
There is more at stake here than the
personality of the candidate"
E. Fl. Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio,
the Cox manager. said he cared to make
no statement but related an incident
which he said reflected his confidence
that Cox would be nominated. Moore
bet $500 to $1,000 that Cox would be
nominated within an hour and a half
after the convention begins balloting
Monday and offered to make even money
that Cox would be nominated within
two and half hours.
It was agreed that the winner would
contribute the money to the Democratic
national campaign fund.
