Circular letters have been spui lo I every delegate to the convention. They have all been asked to reply and ^ make known their ideas of the Bryan candidacy. The letter was sent out through ihe Wood editorial bureau ] and has reached every part of the United States. Several delegates from Missouri, Arkansas and other" c .Western Stales who reached Denver today had Ihe tellers in I heir posses- ' sion and declared they were willing lo attend such a meeting. i When the full details of the plan | became known il threw consternation into the Bryan camp. The Johnson . ami (Jury boomers were pleased. Jt is declared that the propositioi was placed before Mr. Bryan som< time ago, but ho was not iu accort with it, but expressed his willingness to receive a petition it' one was made up from recognized Democrats at anj time and would give it his close consideration. The letter was sent out on June 2(J from the Wood bureau in Evanston. The first part of it reads as follows: "The Wood editorial bureau has started out on a campaign for Democratic victory by the distribution of u series of campaign literature which is being received by the people, but it is believed that the most important rjueslion which ought to be selected lirst is that of who should be nominated at the Denver convention. There ire two candidates in the Held, pro>ably three, and all good men. Mr. Bryan has more than half of the ,'otes pledged ;it the convention, but uic-half or even two-thirds of (lie '(invention voles will not elect Mr. irvan a l l he polls. ''In our canvass of the situation vc have found iwu objections to Mr. iryan. mne believe that his ideas re loo radical and that after the tur>nh'iil administralion of President {01 ise vel I, a more conservative canlidatc should lie nominated, but the liosI serious objection is raised in |uite a number of States and by a urge number of people who 'we have oted and paid for two campaigns for Ir. Bryan, which ended in defeat.' "Wo stand in a peculiar position, 'his campaign will be paid for by the )emocratic party. Mr. Bryan lias all i gain and nothing lo lose, for each nmpaign advertises his books, paper ml increases I he value of his lecires, while each defeat weakens and isrupts I he Democratic party." Charles A. Towne, of New York, rrived today with his own hand-, lade vice presidential boom in a iilchel. He is on I after the job wilh otli hands, hul few people coneede i in any chance as any of I hem," ;iid the former congressman from lew York, "and I am going after it. feel tluii Mr. Bryan is not averse to iv candidacy and in reality is friend toward it."
