V WHO; FORE WITH DEBITS Washington Gossip Has Jt That Culberson Is Looked Upon Favorably by the tCommoneryas'the Second Choice. 1 - i Vice-Presidency Would ;Go to Texan: If Bryan Gets the Nomination for , First ! PlaceMany Followers of v iKebraskan.' ' J By Henry L. Amble. -Washington, June ll. With the nom ination of Taft at Jhlcago aa assurod a anything , In polltica cast be sure. tha prospective action of tha conven tion to be held at Denver next month Is going to cme in for mora attention. , The "antls" have not yet riven up hope of preventing the nomination of Bryan, ; but the anti-Bryanltes may make ai woeful a showing at Denver as the antl .Tafters are making at Chicago. It Is difficult to see how anr combination can prevent Bryan's - nomination, bat ; we get back to the original proposl- : tlon that nothing Is sure In politics until It has been accomplished. :-. Talk of Culberson. - ' There has been a lot at. talk lately .that in tha event Bryan discovered his " own nomination - Impossible he would throw bis influence to Senator Charles A.' Culberson of Texas. It undoubtedly is true that Bryan would be as well 'sausiied with the nomination of Cul berson as he would be with that of any man who possibly could supplant him. : but rdesDlte the "authoritative source" . from . which the Information is said to .have come. It Is open to very serious doubt whether Mr. Bryan has seriously t oonaidered . any alternative to hla own nomination, . why should tier- The opt position lacks a lot,-of having demon strated that It can control a third of - the delegates to the Denver conven tion. Assured of -clear- majority? and with the ohanoes largely in favor of his having two-thirds on the first bal lot, a man would be the -deepest, dark est, dankest sort of a pessimist who could see anything but victors before him. And Mr. Bryan's faults, what ever they may be, have never Included the fault of pessimism toward his own political fortunes. Strong la' Southwest., Therefls -reason to believe,- however,' that Mr. Bryan and his advisers have Senator Culberson a good deal In mind these days. Not only will, the conven tion at Denver nominate ; a candidate for president, but It- must select ft man for second place on the ticket, '; The Texas senator's qualifications for this second place are undisputed. Not only would it be a. recognition of the . south, a long overdue debt the Demo cratlo party owes the stronghold of Democracy, but Culberson's nomination for vice-president would lend strength to the ticket In the east probably as , much as would the nomination of any eastern man. He would be acceptable to Bryanltes everywhere ana wouiq oe especially strong In the southwest t It goes almost without saying that he Is eminently qualified to preside over the body of which he has been one of the leading ornaments, and nowhere would there - be apprehension should he be elected to the second and called upon to discharge the duties of the first mace. - And so, while at this time we must he excused from entertaining the bVllaf that Mr. Bryan has now any serious thought of throwing his strength to -Culberson or any other man for first place on the ticket, when it comes to second place the-senator from Texas Is well worth keeping an eye upon. ' ', Honors, Are Easy. Honors are easv with Mr.' Bryan Followers of Mr. Taft believe the Ne braska statesman got himself In a bad hole when he proposed Joint pressure UDOn concress for publicity in campaign contributions, only : to find that Taft had beat him to it' But he-came with flying colors out of the hole Into which the anti-Bryan wing of the Democracy tried to put lm in the matter of the $11.000 -contribution to the Nebraska campaign fund In 104..h,, , The public, - not even such of It as differs from Mr. Bryan's political the ories. Is not willing to believe he Is personally . dishonest Had the $15,000 contribution been made In the" way It was represented. It. would have covered Bryan with moral obliquity. There will be rejoicing, without regard to party lines, that the Nebraska . man's skirts have, been completely cleared, Bryan la the idol or some millions or Amen can neoplet and the -American people have a distaste ror . iconociasm. 1IKII 111 IT "ROUGH IT" J'.- .1 ii i ws i s i ' i -v -"a ,-' -f y - '"' ' ' ' s '- .
