What about Bryan and McAdoo at
San Francisco? Administration DEM
ocr:,ts are worrying over the recent
,, Dryun statements as to the choice Of
Homer Cummings by the national
committee to act as temporary chair
man Of the convention, and the neat
and workmanlikc flaying which the
Ctmmoncr administered to Governor
Cox in that connection. The wise old
leader from the Platte is just COM
mcncng the quad rcnnial houseclean-
ing. with the slogan: "No cmbczzl c-
mcnt Of political power! Prison for
the public official who bctrnyB his
trust" They don't like that, at all.
At first glance Bryan seems to be
aiming his gun ut the "wcr candi-
date, Governor Cox, and at such 9TH
or Democrats as may try to use their
frccdom from instructions to commit
the party to a return Of the beer and
wine traffic. But Il second survey
gives one the suspicion that Bryan
has looked over the field, found Nc
Ado" the only candidate with any
large following among the delegates,
and has decided to put the presidents
son in-law to the test. For, after all.
McAIoo is Il mere newcomer in poll
ical crusading, compared with Bryan,
and his ideas are virtually unknown.
Bryan would like to know, there
fore, whether McAdoo, if nominated,
intends to appoint man as his cam
paign manager who will furnish guar
antces to the producers in this coun-
try that the profitecrs and gamblers
are to be put out of business. The
Nebraskan knows, far better than
McAdoo ever will know, how nearly
universal is the resentment Of the
people toward Woodrow Wilson for
his keeping Palmer and Burleson in
the cabinet. These two agents of the
Wilson administration personify, to
the Bryan following, the "embezzIe-
ment of power" for which Bryan
says i prison sentence is the just re-
ward.
McAdoo is trying, apparently, to
cvade the direct issue, but at every
turn he finds the Bryan challenge
meeting him. Bryan will head the
resolutions committee that will report
, the platform. Either that platform
will represent Bryan principles or it
will 'c fought on the floor If the
convention by the Commoncr. And if
Bryan is defeated there h. still has
his appeal to the people. What the
administration politicians are trying
To estimate Is the prohab!r amount
Of Democratic revolt that Would fol-
