Bryan Plants His
 Lightning Rod

LINCOLN, Neb., June 23 (by Asso- ciated Press) s).-Discussing a possible Democratic candidate in the Com moner William J. Bryan scays Mo Adoo is handicapped by relationship with Wilson, while the president him self need not be considered. Hoover is not available and therefore elim. mated. Among the few average best men are Senator Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary Meredith. Bryan says the candidate must be for woman suf, frage and prohibition and against Wall street.
 Attorney General Palmer has fallen down in dealing with profiteers and is unfortunate in having to espouse a treaty without reservations. Clark is mentioned as having his own state behind him.
 Bryan's opposition to Governor Cox and Governor Edwards is reiterated and Vice President Marshall is ac. cused of making a feeble bid for the wet vote. Former Ambassador Ger. ards candidacy has the support of South Dakota and he has many per. sonal friends elsewhere.
 Bryan predicts that the convention will witness fights over the peace treaty, profiteering and prohibition with chances in favor of ratification with reservations and against the pro. fiteer and the saloon. Bryan says the convention will indorse woman sui frage, condemn compulsory military training, and insist on the right of tOilers to equal treatment
