Ex-President Said To

Party, With Second
Place for Himself.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.
BALTIMORE, June 29. Who was It
said "politics makes strange fellows?"
There may something develop within
the coming weeks which will greatly
justify him In his wisdom.
Honey, chief rooter— not to say rioter
for Roosevelt, is in town. Crane, also
a riotous Rooaeveltlan, is with him.
Heney .nine here to see Bryan. He
has seen him: also he saw him for
Roosevelt and brought a message. He
who could say not only whet that mes
sage was. but what will be Bryan's re
ply to it, might, in the ups and downs
it would ' ause. make money in Wall
St reet.
There are two stories told as to that
message brought by Heney from Roose
velt to Bryan. One of them is right
after a manner; perhaps both of them
are right The more believable is that
Roosevelt Is urging Bryan to bolt the
present '''invention even as Roosevelt
bolted the steam-rollered, money-con
tsolled, Root-handled convention in
Chicago, and unite forces with him.
According to the tale as told, Roosevelt,
as an inducement to Bryan, offers the
latter the first place on the new third
party ticket. He (Bryan) can have the
white house end of the situation, while
he (Roosevelt) sinks modestly back to
second place and makes a race for the
vice presidency.
Alleged Roosevelt Contention.
Roosevelt holds that this last would
show the public that he (Roosevelt)
was moved of pure motives and not
mere personal ambition in his present
war upon Taft and the regular Repub
licans.
Heney is making it plain to Bryan,
as are also divers other friends of
Roosevelt. Confidential friends, such
as William Allen White, are circulat
ing among the newspaper men, mak
ing It plain to the people that the Bry
an strength against Parker, like the
Roosevelt strength against Taft, came
from the middle West and West. In
both conventions the conservative
strongholds were in the East and
South.
Honey for Roosevelt insists that a
combination ticket of Bryan and Roose
velt. or Roosevelt and Bryan, would
sweep through the middle West even as
the grace of heaven through a camp
meeting, and leave both of the old par
ties too dead to skin.
The other explanation of Honey's
visit from Roosevelt to Bryan is the
same Story over, with the single change
of Roosevelt for the presidency and
Bryan for the vice presidency.
Roosevelt's Real Motive.
Ton ask its to the probability, of these
tales being true. There is no doubt
that Hem-y has come from Roosevelt.
Then is less doubt that his mission is
a mission of politics, and has in view
the bringing together. shoulder to
shoulder, of Bryan and Roosevelt in a
crusade against forces which both
Identify h's tlie public enemy..
That, Roosevelt would so modify his
pretentions aS to offer Bryan the top
place on the ticket and himself sink
back to second position need not amaze
one. Roosevelt is a Wise politician. He
knows the third ticket can't win. At
best and most it would aid in beating
Taft and make his defeat not alone
sure, but disgraceful. That witli a last
word Is the target which Roosevelt
aims at He doesn't .hope to elect
himself president. He does hope to
destroy Taft. His one burning wish is
Io tear that girthy chief magistrate
in two in the middle politically and
leave him on both sides of the road.
In yielding first place to Bryan,
Roosevelt would be sacrificing nothing.
Also he would eliminate the third term
cry, which he knows better than any
Other 111 the country, for he has re
ceived tons of condemnatory anti-third
terni letters. As you look the business
up ami down there are scores of rea
sons why Roosevelt would be willing to
give Bryan the top of the ticket.
Proposition Not New to Bryan.
The proposition is itothlng new to
Bryan It did not descend upon his

well as does Bryan how to coin adver
tisement into money. Bryan therefore
refrained from making a negative an
swer upon that Chipago occasion. He
would ( lose no final doo upon the bus
iness. The thing was left in the air.
Bryan Waited Developments.
When Bryan journeyed from Chicago
to Baltimore it was upon a thorough
understanding with himself—an under
standing vaguely but no less positive
ly hinted to Heney and through Heney
to Roosevelt—that in case he (Bryan)
found the money power in control of
the Democrats he might have some
thing pleasant to say to that thought
of a Bryan-Roosevelt combination.
There is another thougiit which
would occur to Roosevelt, who concern
ing such tangles as these possesses the
cunning of a pet fox. With Taft to
the fore. Roosevelt would surely have
at his solid back every progressive
among the Republicans. He would
have them were he to head the ticket;
have them were he to run for the
vice presidency.
On the other hand, with dark, a
progressive, the Democratic nominee,
he (Roosevelt) couldn’t hope so carry
off a single progressive Democrat. Ev
ery Democrat would stick to ('lark, but
how about Bryan?
Bryan is a progressive. He has, too.
or is supposed to have, a personal fol
lowing among the Demotratfc rank
and fil“. That purely Bryan strength
might be exported to leave ('lark or
Wilson or any one else to cleave po
litically unto Bryan. In other words,
to Roosevelt's progressive Republicans,
Biyan might add an army corps of
progressive Democrats who wouldn't
follow Roosevelt a foot.
All these things occurred to the
astute Roosevelt, than whom no more
finished intriguer of politics has lived
since the days of Mazarin.
"Rule or Ruin" Policy.
In racing parlance. Bryan is right
now rjding for a fall. He entered the
convention’ upon a policy of rule or
ruin. He had made up his mind to own
the party or quit the part) It is my
own feeling that be will quit the party,
having been convinced that he doesn't
own it.
The thing political you will hear
of him is that he has hooked up with
Roosevelt. Wtiat a combination! Bryan
for the presidency. Roosevelt for the
vice presidency! It would shock neither
of the principals, however much it
might shock you.
Roosevelt began his political life as a
bolter when Blaine was named in I8“-I.
and ' was only coaxed back upon a
promise of good things to come.
Bryan's Record is Worse.
From the beginning he has been a
kicker, and Bryan's record is worse.
He came to congress in 1891 as a Popu
list. He quit the Populists for the Dem
ocrats In the house to get a place on
the ways and means committee. He
went back to the Populists and voted
for Weaver in 1892. He appeared in St.
Louis in 1896, asking Teller and Dubois
and the other Baltimore Republicans to
name him for the vice presidency on a
bolting ticket which he understood they
would put in the field with Teller at the
top. The Teller bolt came off. but the
Teller ticket did not.
Bryan went to Chicago professing to
be heart and soul for Biand, as he now
professes to be for Wilson, and with Ills
cross of gold speech tucked into a nom
ination.
Bryan lias run for the white house
twice since then. He has been hunting
it every moment. He came hunting it
In this present convention. He has
found out that he can't get it—that
Democratically at least he need never
hope to get it.
Ender tlie eircmustanees, a bolt with
that old natural born bolter—Roosevelt
—would be for Bryan mightily tn order.
As I read the stars tlie gayety of na
tions is to be advanced this autumn by
the advent of a new firm iti politics.
It-w ill be made up of Bryan and Roose
velt.
There remains but one question, will
Roosevelt's or will Bryan's name be
printed first on the sign?

GREATEST IN DEFEAT
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
BALTIMORE, June 29.—1 called on
Colonel Bryan In his room at the Bel
vedere.
He was wrestling with the starchy
obstinacy of the biggest white shirt 1
ever saw, preparatory to going to <he
mayor’s reception.
Two collar buttons had already rolled
under the bureau, but Bryan was placid.
Hr has the happy habit, and he.has
the defeat habit. Defeat is only for the
man who thinks defeat. To retreat in
good order, to Bryan, is victory.
And so, when I met Colonel Bryan
wrestling with the big "biled" shirt he
was sweatingly, smilingly happy. He
had-shot bis oratorical bolt, frankly ex
pressed his disapproval of Judge Par
ker. noted the fact that 510 delegates
had manfully stood by him, forgotten
that 579 hadn't, and when I told him of
the generous compliment paid him by
Judge Parker, he said: “Did he say
that?” And then asked me to say it
again.
Not to have allowed Bryan to speak
at Baltimore would have been cruelty
to children.
So the Eagle Screamed.
Could there really be a genuine, sure
enough Democratic convention without
oratorical fireworks? Would it be con
stitutional? And so, there being no
other "silver tongues" present to . com
pare with the man from Nebraska's
shimmering plains, it was arranged,
and we heard the Eagle's Scream.
Without Bryan's protest, the pro
ceedings would have lacked accent.
The great commoner gave color to
the occasion. He added the necessary
tabasco, and the visitors will go back
home stai-fied.
Bryan does not like Parker, and it
was a joy to hear him say so. and at
tlie same time no one thought any less
of Parker.
Likes and dislikes are a matter of
temperament.
What the Rev. Dr. Dame called “the
congregation" admires Parker, but we
love Bryan.
After talking with Bryan at the Bel
vedere, I went over to the Emerson
and met Parker. It was like going from
a greenhouse into a. cold storage plant.
' hicago Billingsgate Missing.
Bryan's language was the language
of beseeching diplomacy. The man is
a great preacher. He has taken on the
evangelical atmosphere through much
speaking in the chautauquas, until mel
lowing age and becoming adipose have
given him a sort of "God bless you, my
children." mental attiude. He should
be Bishop Bryan, not Colonel.
His speech dealt with past history.
And he who deals with reminiscences
instead of prophecy is wearing his fu
ture for a bustle.
Bryan nominated Senator Kern for
the chairmanship, and Korn came back,
and in a dignified heart-to-heart talk,
carrying with it fine pleas for peace and
good will, nominated Bryan.
And Bryan then came forward and
seconded the motion.
I could not make out why any one
.should object to Bryan. Personally, I
believe the heart of ever)- delegate was
with him.
The only objection possible to Bryan
is that we are a little-"tired of hearing
Aristides called The Just."
There is something in the heart of
man that protests against any man
getting much the start of the rest.
Bryan's Power Unmistakable.
When we fear Bryan's magnetic
presence, we pay him a great compli
ment.
The power of the man is unmistak-
