JIJNIT RULE
SMB 10 BE BUS PUN
Would Leave Way Open For
His Control
Baltimore, Mr., June 14.—Hon. Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, thrice Democrat
ic candidate for president of the Unit
ed States, has not yet arrived in town,
nor will he arrive until the Democrat
ic convention will be almost ready to
get down to business on June 25.
Report of Mr. Bryan’s plans are,
however, comfng to town in advance
of Mr. Bryan. Even if he were here it
is doubtful if he would take into his
confidence the public, which is trying
to delve into his plans.
According to Democratic politicians
and observers who are on the scene
and who are closely watching develop
ments here and elsewhere in advance
of the convention, Mr. Bryan will come
to town with a big bag full of schemes
First, they declare, he will make a
desperate effort to repeal the unit rule
in force in several state delegations.
Second, they say, he will attack the
two-thirds rule if he finds it stands in
his way.
Third, it is declared, he will con
centrate his efforts to formulate the
platform.
It is the general opinion of visiting
Democrats that Mr. Bryan is veering
to Governor Wilson and that when the
psychological minute arrives he will be
found to be in the camp of the New
Jersey candidate, all the tjnie hoping
and scheming that lightning will
strike him.
Unit Rule in Bryan’s Way.
It is declared that the unit rule is in
Mr. Bryan’s way because in several
state delegations, including that from
Ohio, are Mr. Bryan’s friends who are
tied up and who cannot follow him. It
; s declared that Mr. Bryan is anxious
to abrogate this rule in order that, as
he exepressed it in the national con
vention in St. Louis in 1904, he mav
free his supporters from “the fetters
of local bosses.” Without his follow
ers. whose hands are tied. Mr. Bryan
’•eaiizes that he cannot dominate the
convention, which is his real pur
pose. He attacked the unit rule in
1904, and this was the only recent
convention in which he was not an ad
vance candidate, and the only cbnven
tion in which he was not nominated.
Whether Mr. Bryan will be or will not
be a candidate in the convention later
events will have to determine, though
he has said repeatedly that he will not
be a candidate. With the unit rule out
of the way Mr. Bryan would have a
iormidable following.
Ohio as Fighting Ground.
Edward H. Moore, insurance com
missioner of Ohio and who led the
forces of Governor Harmon in the re
cent primary in that state, said at the
Hotel Emerson that the Wilson people
may attempt to fight the unit rule,
which was adopted by the Democratic
State Convention of Ohio. “This fight,
if it does take place,” said Mr. Moore,
‘will be made on the floor of the con
vention. Harmon swept the state and
the convention decided to use the unit
rule, which compels the entire delega
tion to vote for Harmon. There was
no legalized primary. Instead, the
Democratic State Central Committee
put into effect a general preferential
primary, but there was no district vot-
ing.”
"If the national convention does de
cide to abolish the unit rule in Ohio,"
Mr. Moore continued, "it will suit us
very well. It will set a precedent
which must be followed in the case of
other states. By this Governor Harmon
will gain far more delegates than he
will lose.
"I also want to brand as false the
stories of the Wilson men that they
elected 19 of the 48 delegates. Gover
nor Harmon’s delegates were all elect
ed but 14. Os this latter number, 1
are Wilson men, 2 will vote any wav
John R. McLean directs them to, and
the others are out and out for Bryan.
"As far as the unit rule is concern
ed, this was carried by a vote of the
convention of 597 to 362. This was al
most 2 to 1.”
Mr. Bryan is believed to be behind
the move to knock out the unit rule in
the Ohio delegation.
Two-Thirds Rule.
If Mr. Bryan should succeed in re
vealing the two-thirds rule, and it is
not believed that he will succeed, he
may still find that he lacks a two
thirds majority to nominate his favor
ite, or, if the psychological moment
•'.rrives, to nominate himself.
As soon as Mr. Bryan’s position be
comes known, that he is striving to
* nominate Governor Wilson, which i 3

PERFECT MARRIAGE

his wife to live up to. He should de
mand the.best from her of which she
is capable. ‘A friend is one who
makes us do-what we can,’ Emerson
says. Husband and wife should bring
out each other’s capabilities to the
utmost*. Above- all things, they should
be frien&s and comrades. That all
sounds so much like a sermon,” she
laughed, "that I must add that the
ideal husband must have a sense of
humor. Life and love are magnificent
responsibilities, but laughter and the
‘sunny side of things’ help us to bear
them better and keep us balanced.”
Mr. Dana said he believes the ideal
■wife should have health, frankness,
common sense, humor, a great concep
tion of the universe and humanity, rad
icalism, should be a suffragist, and
possess courage, sympathy and pa
tience. He added that the ideal hus
band, too, should be a suffragist.

sure thing.
believed to be his surface object on
himself, which is accepted as his ulti
mate object, all the other candidates
will combine against him and against
his favorite.
Governor Harmon and Congressman
Underwood are already unequivocally
opposed to him. It will not require
much effort to bring them to a com
mon understanding and a common pur
pose. If Speaker Champ Clark’s friends
discover that Mr. Bryan has been play
ing foot and loose with them they will
give him the boot.
One of the Maryland delegates to the
rational convention brought word from
Washington that Bryan was contem
plating a coup which he expected to
land him in the presidential band wag
on. The information comes from a
very reliable source and is generally
accepted by leading politicians.
To Keep Vote Scattered.
The plan as outlined is to keep the
vote so scattered as to prevent a nom
ination on the earlier ballots. Clark
and Wilson are tq 1 be played against
each other so as to hold Harmon safe,
the Ohio man being most feared of any
of the candidates. It was to give the
impression that Harmon was not the
choice of his state that Bryan made so
bitter a fight against him, concentrat
ing all his opposition at the pivotal
point with the hope that by dividing
the delegation Harmon would be de
prived of Ohio’s support.
He succeeded in part and was pretty
well satisfied until the adoption of the
unit rule, which insures to Harmon the
solid vote of his state. This action de
prived Bryan of some of his thunder,
but he is still using the argument that
the Democrats of Ohio are so divided
on Harmon that it would be unwise to I
nominate him. Bryan also intimates I
that if Harmon is named he will not
have the support of the Silver King's
following.
Still he does not want Harmon en
tirely out of the race. He serves a
purpose as long as he prevents any of J
the others from getting the nomination.
Os Underwood Bryan has no fear. He
does not believe a Southern man can
get the nomination and hence he is
making no play against the Alabam
ian. He, too, serves a purpose, having
86 votes to his credit. These with the
48 votes of Ohio and those given to
favorite sons by Connecticut, Indiana
and North Dakota, will prevent any
one of the leaders from obtaining the
necessary two-thirds vote.
Not Easy to Stampede.
So Bryan, w’ho is a delegate, will sit
quietly in his chair while the initial
ballots are being taken and await the
coming of the psychological moment.
When this arrives the mine that is to
stampede the convention is to be
sprung. An opportunity is to be offer
ed the Nebraskan to address the con
vention, and remembering his “cross of
gold” in 1896, the delegates are expect
ed to give him a great sendoff.
Then will come the expected fire
works. The Nebraskan, primed with
just another such speech, hopes to
sway the convention as he did before,
and following his burst of oratory will
await the enthusiastic demonstration
he evoked before. Whether this scheme
which is vouched for by the Maryland
delegate, who says it comes from the
inside, will pan out depends entirely
on the temper of the convention.
Well-posted politicians claim the
conventions are very different from
what they were when Bryan swept in
to favor in 1896, and that it will be
more difficult to stampede a conven
tion than it was then. Besides being
forewarned, they will see to it that
the> are forearmed, and if Bryan tries
to put his scheme through there will
be enough delegates to stand by their
guns to frustrate a stampede.
SPLENDID CROPS
ON PLANTATIONS
INJOUGHERTY
Americus Men Possess Fine
Farm There
Messrs. Arthur Rylander and Lee
Allen returned yesterday from a trip
into Dougherty county, where, to
gether with Mr. Frank Sheffield, of
this city, they own jointly one of the
largest and finest plantations in Geor
gia, which they purchased a year or
two ago as an investment, and are
pleased therewith.
The farm contains 2,500 level acres,
and the crops growing this year, Mr.
Allen states, are as fine as could be
desired.
There are eleven hundred acres
planted in cotton, much which will
easily produce a bale per acre, if sea
sons continue favorable. The cotton
is nearly knee high, upon the average
and blooms are appearing over all the
fields. A crop of 800 or 900 bales
should easily be made, it would seem.
There are thirty-one plows operated
upon this extensive farm. Besides
fields of fine cotton, there is an abun
dance of other crops. High fertiliza
tion and improved methods in agri
culture already insure splendid re
sults there this year.

sion less than six days the grand jury
investigated many cases brought be
fore it and returned more than seven
ty-five indictments. This grand jury,
as has others, recommended that all
county officers but put upon salaries
end the fee system abolished. The pe
