They are against booze. There is

Bryan's Silence Puzzles
William Jennings Bryan's silence is
disturbing some of the politicians He has
and has been formally interviewed, but
has said nothing that has obtained pub
licity which is of any interest. 1t is
known that he is vigorously opposed
to Governor Cox, but he has said
nothing about his views openly since
his arrival. His brother, Charles, al
ways his trusted political lieutenant,
had a conference with Postmaster
General Burleson just prior to Mr..
Burleson's talk with newspaper men
to-day, thus occasioning much specula-
tion as to what could have been the
common basis. especially as Bryan him
self has written to at least one vigor-
GUS McAdoo upporter-George R.
Lunn-saying that he might be found
working and voting with him.
Lunn, of course, is a dry also, which
might be the full explanation of that
letter, but Burleson does not agree with
Bryan on the wet and dry fight at all,
so some political dopesters began Won
dering if Bryan would not be satisfied
with McAdoo if he finds himself unable
to force the nomination of Meredith or
some one else more satisfactory to him.
incidentally, there has been some
humorous comment over the fact that
several candidates seem to think they
have ironciad promises from Bryan to
support them for the nomination.
None of these candidates, of course,
are moist. All are bone dry.

By Haywood Broun

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-"The
Democratic convention" said William
Allen White this morning, promises to
be much more interesting than the
Republican, and just as unimportant."
Almost any political convention has
about the same relation to the actual
warfare and strategy Of a nomination
as the cheering section at football
game has to the eleven on the gridiron.
The delegates may serve to hearten
the leaders now and again, but they
have no real part in the game, which
FIVE on side.
This, it seems to us, justifies the fact
that there is more general interest
throughout America in Babe Ruth than
in A. Mitchell Palmer. 1t also serves
to explain why baseball stories are
usually written in an exalted and
heroic strain and convention accounts
run to fippancy. Besides, Babe knows
his business. In his own particular
line he is superman.
Leaders Rule by Accident
Politics was good game for the
spectators in the days when we had
Roosevelt, but the leaders of to-day
IN both parties, with the exception of
Wilson, are largely powerful through
mere accident. Their shrewdness is a
myth. Seemingly their business is to
convince themselves and the delegates
that for some reason or other the
strongest man in the party should not
be nominated
Almost everybody here agrees that
Cox or McAdoo could poll more votes
than any other Democrat who has been
mentioned up to date. and most of the
experts agree that this is the very
reason why neither Cox nor McAdoo
will be nominated Discussion about
both Cox and McAdoo does not deal
with the public achievements of either
man, but whether the votera will not

will not be handicapped because he
