Brantley, representative in congreas fi orn the Eleventh Georgia distriv - . would do in the event of his election to Baltimore as a delegate at large ran I riot for a time in the late state < (in vention. It had been stated- probably by Old Man They Say -that Mr Brantley pns 1-tive-Iy " ould not consent to serve on the national delegation with the "red headed person” from Thomson, because of the ancient and bitter enmity exlst- I inc between them. Besides that, Mr. i Brantley's name was not considered | -eriously for a delegate's place, not ' • ven mentioned, indeed, until some 24 | r.our. before the convention was called to order. Th.- truth of the matter may as well 1 be ; tated Mi Brantley was in no sense of the word a candidate for a delegate's place; h<- was in actual ignorance of any sug gestion that he serve until the conven tion was about “ready to be called to ordef Moreover, it is a fact that Mr, Brant ley did demur to the idea that he go to Baltimore with Mr. Watson H« thought lit might bring about an unpleasant | s' tu- of things, not to gay an ineffect ive situation.

The sub-committee having in charg? for the Georgia delegation to Baltimore the matter of hotel accommodations In the Monumental City had a fine llttle scheme knocked galley west a day or so ago. This cute little committee had it all fixed up to put Thomas B. Felder and Thomas E. Watson In a room together, with only one double bed between them. The room selected is quite a cozy one. too, and wasn’t provided xvitlt a fire escape The sub-committee figured that It was doing a fine harmony-and-brother ly-love stunt, and was pluming itself accordingly- on the strict q. t.

TOLEDO, OHIO June 4.—The unit rule proposition continues to overshad ow all other tppicj of conversation be fore the Democratic state convention, which opens here«tonight and continues Wednesday. The leaders of the Harmon organiza tion insist that they have the. votes and. intend to carry,it through, despite the cry of gag rule by the Nineteenth dis trict Wilson men, elected In the recent state primaries. If they stick to this plan of campaign, the convention will be a stormy one, as the Wilson men de. clare they will fight the measure to the last ditch and If defeated in the state convention assert they will car ry the fight to the floor of the Balti more convention. Baker Leads Fight For Wilson. Mayor Newton Baker, of Cleveland. " ill lead the fight for the Wilson men. He intends to try to get on the resolu tions committee and will make his first fight there when the committees convene this afternoon. Some of the Harmon leaders, fearing the effect the enforcing of the unit rule will have on the state ticket this fall, were busy this morning endeavoring to bring about a compromise between the two factions xvhlch will give Harmon the selection of the six delegates-at large, a presidential indorsement by the convention and alloxv the nineteen Wil son delegates to go to Baltimore as Wilson men. The compromise appears to be agreeable to the Wilson forces, but Ed Moore and Ben Chamberlain. Harmon’s personal representatives here, refuse to listen to any compromise. Cox in Lead for Governor.

WASHINGTON, June 4.—Roosevelt has. winged the xvord along the line that he wants Hadley, of Missouri, for a running mate. With Hadley for vice president he hopes to stiffen the Repub lican hand in Missouri and the West. Roosevelt believes that Clark xvill be the Democratic nominee against him. M ith Missouri as a solid wall behind Clark, the Oyster Bay feeling is that the single chance of rounding up the state for the Republicans is to put Hadley on the ticket. Hadley has already carried the gov ernorship, and Roosevelt deduces there from a local Hadley popularity. Both the Roosqyelt and the anti- Roosevelt forces declare Roosevelt will be in Chicago not later than Thursday. They read between the lines when he sends forth word that he'll "come if needed,".and insists that the question of "need" has already been decided by him in the affirmative. T. R. Buttons For Taftites. ‘ So sure is a former Taft contingent in congress of an ultimate Roosevelt victory at Chicago that, they have donned and are wearing a nexx- kind of campaign button. One may be seen most prominently blazing on the broad breast of House Leader Mann. It is a Roosevelt button, with the motto all about it, "We know when we're beat.” Taft, who also knows when he’s “beat,” insists more strongly than ever to his near advisers—after the doors have been doubly locked and guarded— that, his name must not go before the convention. He has seen enough by the light of the recent primaries to know that the great majority of the party do not want him, and, although the indomitable Tawney and others try to cheer him up and show him that with the aid of the national committee sitting in Chicago he can be steam rollered Into the nomination, he has no heart fnr so emptx- an honor. Better, he believes, to step sidewise opt of a situation which grows worse and not better every day than to bur glarize the convention for the nomina tion and then be beaten out of ex'ery semblance of political humanity at the polls. Finding Fault With Managers. Taft is finding grievous fault with McKinley and Crane. He insists that it was they who, against his will and protest, drove him into those speech making tours, xx'hich in the recent r>ri mary fights resulted so disastrously. Crane and Mr. McKinley don't say much In reply to Taft's complaint of bad management, but murmuring among themselves they intimate that it xvas he, not they, who insisted upon i that unfortunate speech-making. Among the soberer and more thoughtful Democrats, many of whom have not violently preferred the cause of any candidate, the conviction is be ginning to form that Clark should be and will he named. Littleton, of New York, has come, after a week's absence front his seat, full of a Clark belief.' Hilton, of 'West Virginia and the sen ate, is another. These gentlemen, in turning to Clark and thinking greatly of the party and a ballot triumph in November, argue after this wise: Wilson is the leading candidate against Clark. It is not sure that Wilson could carry New Jersey. It is sure that Clark could carry Mis souri. Also, Missouri is bigger than New Jersey. Clark stronger Man. In the electoral college it takes 266 votes to choose a president. The Dem ocrats, given Oklahoma, Missouri and Maryland, are certain of IRS votes. For the other 78 required to elect, the Dem ocrats xvould have Maine, Massachu setts, California, Colorado, Illinois, In diana. Ohio, West Virginia, New Jer sey and New York to look to. Clark can carry Missouri, Oklahoma and Maryland. It is a question if Wil. son could. Wilson would lose Missouri sure, and Maryland probably. With Hadley for vice president upon the ticket with Roosevelt, Missouri would inevitably go Republican if Wil son did the running for the Democrats. The returns from the popular prima ries are thus thrashed out: Clara swept, as if by fire, Rhode Island. Mas. saehusetts, Kentucky. Maryland. Illi nois. Arkansas. Utah. Colorado and California. Clark also carried Nebraska, even in the face of Bryan's expressed prefer ence for Wilson, and Bryan was chosen a delegate and instructed to vote first. | last and all the time for Clark. This marks Clark as the great na tional choice of the Democracy. The candidate who can carry California, Il- linois and Massachusetts, as Clark car ried them, is something more than a mere neighborhood candidate, more than merely she lavorite son of a state. Wilson carried Texas. Oregon. Min nesota, the Carolinas and Pennsylva nia. What then? The Democrats, if they tried, could no more lose and the Carolinas than the Republicans could lose Pennsylvania. As for Ore gon and Minnesota. Clark at the ballot box would stand as good, if not a bet ter, chance than Wilson. Wilson Has Antagonized Opponents. In Harmon's state of Ohio and such Underwood states as Alabama and Florida. Clark would be stronger than Wilson who —through Bryan—has an tagoniz'd every supporter of either Harmon or Underwood between the oceans. Last, yet not Itjast, it is pointed out that Wilson is a dreamer, while Clark stays* on the ground; that the one is academic while the other is practical; that the one shifts and changes while the other remains steadfast; that the on e writes essays while'the other, in practical fashion, puts the people's needs in the way of house measures squarely up to the Republicans of the senate. In short, the currents of argument, and per consequence, convictiffn. are setting toward Clark and against Wil son. It is the common admission by evyy cool head among the Democrats, thinking on party victory, that Clark should be the man.
