Bryan and Hitchcock

NJ EBRASliA voters behaved in a curious
v fashion in the bitter fight between Will
liam j. Bryan and Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock. While these two lenders were as far
apart as they could well he upon the two
great issues-prohibition and the league OF
nation"--both won at the hands Of the
Democratic electorate. MIR. Bryan will be
Il delegate at large at the San Francisco
convention and Mr.. Hitchcock will receive
the presidency. il the delegates carry out
the instructions given.
When all phases OF the fight are con-
sidered, the fact is that this was Il Hitch
cock defeat. He had staked all upon the
defeat of Mr.. Bryan. 1t was assumed that
he himself would gain the Endorsement but
that WAS not enough. 1t was necessary to
defeat Mr.. Bryan. to bring about fiat
population OF the latter's leadership by his
own State in order to make the Hitchcock
candidacy a promising proposition. In this
Senator Hitchcock failed. and the chances
are that he will figure only in an incidental
way as serious presidential possibility.
Mr.. Bryan will have a scat with the Ne
bvaska delegation in the convention. He
announced in advance that he would not
be bound by any instructions which his State
might give il they were contrary to his own
convictions In other words, the Nebraska
may declare for beer and light wines, but
this will have no eflcct upon Mr.. Bryan.
He will continue TO oppose that program.
1t seems from this distance that ii was
mistake FOR the Hitchcock people to have
made fight against Mr.. Bryan III he had
been defeated for delegate at large, that
would not have KEEP, him from the floor
Of the convention. Nothing is easier for u
man of his standing than to secure a proxy
from some other. He would have been
no Nebraska, and TO turn him down at
home doubtless would have given him addi-
tionnl strength elsewhere in the country
The prohibition question is bound TO be
one OF bitter controversy nj San Francisco.
The stand taken by many leading Demo-
Gratis In the direction OF liberalzing the
present enforcement legislation will he sup
ported by a very large number Of the dele
galcs. II is conceivable that Il majority
OF them will seek to put the convention on
record in favor OF some such program as
that offered by Senator Hitchcock To that
end the influence OF the President will he
felt.
This does not mean that the convention
will nominate a liberal. II may by ma
jority vote adopt "a liberal platform plank
but II takes two-thirds OF the convention
tn nominate, and the drastic drys, headed
by MIR Bryan, are confident that they can
control better than Onc-third OF the dele
gvtes. thereby holding the veto power. This
would make for n deadlock which might
prove very difficult TO break. II would he
singular situation IL the convention. act
ing on the majority rule, should pronounce
itself favorable TO notifications OF the Vol
stead act. yet not he able. under the two
thirds rule, to nominate a candidate in
sympathy with such declaration. Nor
i this beyond the range OF probabilities.

II All Helps l.Owtlcn

THE more recent baloting in the prcsi-
Dental primaries has had no decisive
result in so far Johnson, Wood and
Harding are concerned. The Harding pres
tige has suffered severely by the smullness
OF his majority in his home State In fact.
he barely escaped reputation. which
would have killed his candidacy absolutely.
Wood ran heavily in Ohio. but he gained
little. Neither Wood nor Johnson gains
much comfort from tho New Jersey result
and nobody has gained even Il toe hold in
Massac husetts
The present drift of Republican politics
is decidedly in the direction OF an open
convention with tho unpledgcd delegates in
