I LQ 25 VOL XLIV. NOT 4'8. NEWBERRY. S. 0. FRIDAY JUNTE 7, 1907. TWIOE A WEEK, $1.50 A YEAR WORKING FOR NOMINATION. Norfolk Lawyer Says Bryan is Hard at Work to Secure the Demo cratic Nomination for the Presidency. News and Courier. Washington, June 5.-'' William Jeninings Bryan told me, upon the occasion of his visit to the James town exposition a few days ago that he already had more than thirty states pledged to support him in the next national convention and that there was not the least doubt about their standing by their decision.'' This was the statement made to day by Judge T. J. Wool, a leading; lawyer of Norfolk, alnd general coun sel for the Jamestown exposition, at the New Willard hotel. ''Yes, when Mr. Bryan was at Jamestown last week he made this remarkable statement to me which leaves not the least doubt in my mind that he not only intends to stand for the presidential nomina tion, but that he is already hard at work t) secure it. "I do not know in what manner these states could have beei pledged so far in advance '.o support Mr. Bryan or any other candidate that may be nominated when the Demo eratic Convention meets unless it is that those states to which lie had had reference when hemadehisstatement had by resolution of their legisla tures put themselves on record as fa vori,ng him and as being in favor of stianding squarely by his policies. Otherwise I do not*see how lie could have considered thirty odd states -pledged to him when tle conventions' in the different states have not yet .beei held. ''I talked at some length with Mr. Bryan about the coming campaign, and while I cannot say that he seem ed to prefer any one man over an other as his running mate, there is no doubt in my mind that hereafter the section of country a man comes from-whether he is running for president or vice-president - will have little to do wit'h the result of the election, so long as lie is the choice of the mass of Democratic voters and can hold the east along with the South. I meani that if there is a man in the South-no matter how far South-from Texas, Flori da or elsewhere,, wlo is strong enough to hold all sections of the country it will matter little where lie comes from. The East has cer tainly made a failure during the few years so far as electing a man from that section is concerned and I think the people there will no longer de mand that that sectioi be represent ed so long as a suitable man can be found anywhere else who can defeat the republican nominee-probably President Roosevelt. "It is impossible to forestall now whether or not there is a man in the South who combines al.l the elements necessary to success in such a great wndertaking as that of securing the presidential nomigation. You may -put it down, though, that if a good mtin can he found in the South lie is just as liable to receive the nomina tion as a man from any part of the United States. ''It begins to look like President Roosevelt wvill 1)e compelled to allow himself to 1)0 renominated to heal the breach made by Taft, Foraker and other leading republicans lately. I (10 not think he really wants to get 4gth nomination 'igain because from lus'standpoint another term in tihe White House would 1be equivalent to Sstanding for election the third time, but many leading republicans do not look at the matter that way, and I believe they will force the nomina tion on him, especially if: Bryan is placed -in the field by the demoQrats. Many republicans saiy that it will be absolutely necessary to run Roose volt again if Bryan comes out.'' . P.IT.
