ARYAN FOR FIIIEFI
Wants Him in Second Place to
Win Conservatives.
BAIT FOR GERMAN VOTE
Thinks l'ubli.-lior of Slums Zclluns
Who Is Now Bitterly Opposing
Ills Nomination Would Make
the TU-krt Invincible.
PENVER; July 4. James C. Dahl
man. Mayor of Omaha. who i
credited with being one of the
official spokesmen for Mr. Bryan in
Penver. was asked about the report
that Mr. Bryan had expressed himself
as favoring Herman Rldder. of New
York, proprietor of the New York
Staats-Zoitung, for Vice-President, said
that he had not discussed Mr. Rldder
in particular with Mr. Bryan, but that
h knew that Mr. Bryan was strongly
in favor of Riu-h a man. He said that
Mr Bryan had no idea of insisting that
the man who should be named for second
place must necessarily have been a
supporter of his in the past. On the
contrary, he preferred some man who
would represent the conservative ele
ment of the party and who at the time
was In favor of the urgent reform of
the present day.
'I know that he wants a man who,
while being of unimpeachable standing
in political matters, would also be
satisfactory to the great German ele
ment of our party." said Mr. Dahlman.
"With a man like Ridder on the ticket
with Bryan wo could carry not only
New York, but states like Ohio. Indi
ana. Illinois and Wisconsin, where the
Cerman vote Is a strong factor. The
name of Rldder sounds to me like the
most available that has been suggested.
Will Overlook the Vast.
"It dors not make any difference if
Mr. Rldder opposed Bryan In 1S96 and
1900. and is opposed to him now on
grounds of political expediency. If he
Is the right sort of man for the place,
Mr. Bryan would be for him.
Upon good authority. Ridder is said
to be the Bryan preference at the pres
ent time. With the arrival in Denver
rarly today of several prominent Demo
crats who are close in the confidence
of the Nobraskan, came the report that
Mr. Bryan had decided that Mr. Rldder
was strongly available for the nomina
tion. Not that he expects to dictate
to the convention the mun who shall
be named, hut to let It be known to
bis supporters the came of Uie man
who he believes would strengthen the
ticket.
According to the reports which have
come from Lincoln, the reasoning of
the Bryan managers in their sugges
tion of Mr. Ridder for Vice-President Is
as follows:
Qualifications of Ridder.
Mr. Rldder is one of the most promi
nent citizens of German descent in the
Vnited States. He was a "Gold Demo
crat." and possesses In fullest meas
ure the conftdentie of that wing of the
party. He has been affiliated wUn the
conservative wing of the Democracy
for the last 12 years, and would com
mand the support of that element for
the ticket.
A very large percentage of the popu
lation of the United States are German
or of German descent. In New York
State, the electoral vote of which state
Mr. Bryan is anxious to carry if nomi
nated. 34 per cent of the population
are of German extraction.
It Is said to be the Idea of Mr. Bryan
that he must have a man as his run
ning mate who will represent that wing
of the party which has antagonized
him in the past.
He l said to prefer a "Gold Demo
crat," a man who perhaps did not sup
port him in either of the last two cam
paigns, who can command the support
of the -.German-American vote of the
country who comes from New York
State and who favors tariff revision
and -other policies of Mr. Bryan.
' Mr. Ridder fills all of these qualifi
cations, the Bryan people claim. He
did not support Mr. Bryan for the
Presidency, either in 1896 or in 1900.
Mr. Ridder has already informed Mr.
Bryan personally that while he ie
strongly opposed to Mr. Bryan's nomi
nation this year he will, If the latter
is nominated, suppoTt him, and will
lend him also his active personal aid.
Ridder for a Battle.
Mr. Riddor arrived in Denver this morn
ing and announced his unaltered antago
nism to Bryan's candidacy, and stated
that he would at once inaugurate a cam
paign among the delegates to the con
vention to encompass the defeat of the
Nebraskan. He said that as soon as he
had rested from his railway journey he
would begin his work among the Bryan
and uninstructed delegates, in an effort
to convince them that Bryan could not
carry New York this year: and that the
electoral vote of . New York was neces
sary to the success of the National tick
et. .Mr. Ridder gives it as bis unquali
fied opinion that Mr. Bryan cannot carry
New York. He cites as his reason for
this the memory which BtiU lingers in
the minds of the New York voters of
Mr. Bryan's free-silver views, which they
disapproved. Also the statement which
he made in his Madison-Square Garden
address in which he favored the National
acquisition of the railroads.
Builds Hopes on South.
While these matters may not be in
jected into the campaign, the recollec
tion of Mr. Bryan's alleged radical ten
dencies would result in his defeat, argued
Mr. Rldder. Mr. Ridder stated that he
expected to visit all the different state
delegations, particularly those from the
South, and address the delegates upon
the subject of Mr. Bryan's poliNcaUweak
ness in New York State. He expects
also to work unremittingly among the in
dividual delegates from now until the
time the nomination is made.
What the result might be in New York
if a Vice-Presidential candidate of Mr.
Bryan's choosing were selected and a
platform adopted which would appeal to
the country, Mr. Ridder refused to haz
ard. He said that of course it might be
possible for Mr. Bryan to carry New
York at the coming election, but he did
not believe so.
Talked to Bryan Frankly.
Mr. Ridder's interview with Mr. Bryan
at Fairview was confidential, but Mr.
Ridder in a statement made public at
Lincoln last night did not hesitate to say
that he told Mr. Bryan frankly of his
opposition to him and of his intended ef
forts to defeat him in the interest of
the party.
GLEXX WITHDRAWS HIS XAME
Leaves South Without Candidate for
Vice-Presidency.
DENVER, July 4. The Vice-Presidential
situation with reference to
John W. Kern, of Indiana, is not un
mixed with complications which are
gradually coming to the surface
through members of the Indiana dele
gation now on the ground. The dele
gation from the Hoosler State will
hold its first meeting tomorrow after
noon, when the matter of officially
putting forth the Indiana man for the
Vice-Presidency will bo considered and
probably decided upon. Further fea
tures of Indiana politics are expected
to appear at that time which affect
Mr. Kern's candidacy.
Prominent Democrats in the Indiana
delegation have expressed themselves
as confident that whatever may be the
issue in the Presidential race in Indi
ana this Fall, the state is certain to
be carried by the Democrats for the
state ticket, including the Legislature,
which will elect a successor to Senator
Hemenway.
Governor R. B. Glenn, of North Caro
lina, who arrived today, signalized his
coming by putting a quietus on the
Vice-Presidential boom which has been
sta.'ted in his behalf.
"I do not believe it would be best
for the ticket to have a Southern man
on it," he said, "and shall not per
mit my name to be presented. Our
delegation is steadfast for Bryan, and,
believing he will be nominated and
elected, I shall not place any stumbling
block in the way of his success."
The withdrawal of Governor Glenn
leaves the South unrepresented in the
Vice-Presidential race.
LEWIS RECEPTIVE CANDIDATE
Chicago's Pink-Whiskered Colonel
Takes Boom to Denver.
DENVER, July 4. The latest Vice
Presidential candidate to reach the city
is Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis, of Chi
cago, who. wh'ile making no extravagant
claims, admits that he would not decline
the nomination if the friends who are
pressing his candidacy should succeed in
landing the prize for him. He says he
will have supporters in Georgia. Virginia,
Washington, Idaho and other states. air.
Lewis democratically walked from the
railroad station to his hotel, stopping on
the way to greet his old friends and to
express his views on the. topics of the
day. He pronounced unequivocally for
Mr. Bryan, and on the subject of the
platform declaration on injunctions said:
"I must insist that the Democratic
party must remain where it put itself in
1S96 and 1900, and by ratification in 1904.
We should repeat the platform and take
no step which would imply apologies for
the past or indicate a mere bid for votes.
We have announced our position as a
principle and should let the matter rest
there. The plank should stand as it has
been stated."
TALK OP KEW CANDIDATE
William J. Gaynor, of New York,
May Enter Race.
DENVER, July 4. A new candidate
for the Vice-Presidency on the Demo
cratic ticket appeared on' the horizon
this afternoon when it was announced
by Representative "William Sulzer, of
New York, that William J. Gaynor
would be supported by the delegation
from that state in the event that Judge
Gray, of Delaware, insists upon his de
termination not to run.
Judge Gaynor is regarded by the New
York politicians as one of the strong
est men of their party in New York
State, and the New York delegation be
lieves that with him on the ticket suc
cess will be assured.

bers Seek Summer Retreats.

to the mountains to rusticate, and oth

sons will also leave shortly for a point
in that state; Miss Louise Kent will
spend three or four weeks in the country
