VOL. 57. Lay Mr. Bryan On the Shelf. Obviously Mr. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN intends to vote and work against Governor Wooprow WILSON in the Balti- more convention. He hasn't said so di- rectly, thus far, but it may safely be pre- dicted that he will before the convention meets. For the present he only implies it by alleging that “any progressive” Democrat can defeat ROOSEVELT and add- ing: “CLARK and WILSON are the lead- ing progressive candidates—either of them can defeat ROOSEVELT.” It will be observed that he puts CLARK first, thus indicating his preference for that candi- date. His professed confidence that “any progressive” candidate can defeat ROOSE- VELT will be his justification for support- ing the weaker of the two candidates he | Too Late for Change of Candidates. i The report that Senator MURRAY | CRANE, of Massachusetts, has advised the | withdrawal ot TAFT'S name and the sub- | stitution of that of Justice HUGHES as the | candidate against ROOSEVELT is scarcely ; believable. Senator CRANE has a reputa- ition for great business acumen and | political sagacity. Such a shift of forces would be preposterous. It would inevit- | ably result in the nomination of Roose- | VELT on the first ballot. TAFT can and | probably will defeat the Colonel, but no- body else can. In the event of failure to nominate on the first ballot, with TAFT as a candidate of the regulars, LAFoL- LETTE will go to him rather than to ROOSEVELT and nominate him when that shift is made.

BELLEFONTE PA, JUNE T. 1913 What About Tickets for the Democratic | National Convention. | From our uptown contemporary, pub- lished by one of the delegates to the Na- tional convention, at Baltimore, we get the following: “GUFFEY WILL CARE FOR HIS FRIENDS." “Thousands of Pennsylvanians will go to Baltimore in the hope of get- ting a R5ep into the National conven- ve to get necessary cards admission from Guffey. He will turn over to the delegates and alternates whatever tickets they are entitled to, and will endeavor to care for as many of his Democratic friends in Pennsylvania as possi As the publisher of this paper is not listed amatuf Col Guffey’s close friends, it simply be regarded a waste of time to make request to him for any such favor. In this in- stance, we feel that we can not as- sist our friends. From the Harrisburg Patriot of May 31st, organ of the faction our uptown friend clings to and seems proud to rep- resent, we get the following: “Instead of Colonel Guffey holding all the convention tickets for Penn- sylvania, it was said at headquarters yesterday, that the National commit- tee will each National dele- gate with his own card of admission and extra tickets for a few of his friends. Colonel Guffey, as Pennsyl- vania's t National committee- man, of course, receive a share of the tickets.” Evidently there is some misunderstand- ing, or some design in the publication of such widely divergent statements, about the distribution of the tickets admitting to the convention. If Mr. KURTZ'S bosses, who have brought about the disorganized condition the Democracy of the State finds itself in on the eve of a Presidential election,are correct in their statement sent out from their headquarters, then he must be trying to shirk a duty to friends, that his position as representative to the convention plainly imposes upon him. Under any conditions he, as delegate will have his full share of all the tickets al lotted to the State. The delegates tickets, with the extras they are entitled to, will be made up by the National committee, and then given to Col. GUFFEY for dis- tribution. They will be delivered by him to flout, the principles of the constitution fifiqrence Whi = and the traditions of the country.

When accidentally mortally shot by a playmate he roused himself long enough to call the other little boys in the party about him and beg them never to reveal the name of the one who had wounded him. This done he asked them all to pray for him. Rare lad was THOMAS QUINN and what a memory his father will have to cherish. ~—Advertising does pay. A few years ago Dr. WILEY was a quiet, determined, unexploited chemical researcher in the federal Health Bureau. He was too con- scientious to pass up some dopes that his superiors winked at and got into trouble with them. The newspapers exploited him and he was practically fired out of of his five thousand a year job. Now he is an editor at a salary of $7,500,a lectur- er with an income of $10,000 and has been offered the chairmanship of the Boston Board of Health at an additional salary of $7,500. Had the newspapers not advertised the character of Dr. WILEY he might still have been being cuffed around in Washington and losing $20,000 a year. Does it pay to advertise? Ask Dr. WiLEY. —Nobody's business always was every- body's business. Everybody's business seldom is anybody's business.

In this matter, Col.

GUFFEY'S shoulders. If a chances to get into the convention is denied them it will be his fault and his alone. Roosevelt's Blufin : og > is Stopped. Now that the canvas for delegates is practically over Colonel ROOSEVELT and his managers are reefing activities. On the eve of the New Jersey primaries ROOSEVELT himself announced that he wouldn't stand tor Senator RooT, of New York, for temporary president of the Chicago convention. “We have ample strength in the convention to defeat him,” the claimant declared inferentially, “and we will exercise it.” Governor HADLEY, of Missouri, offering him the distinction and had the letter published. No doubt a good many sus- ceptible voters were deceived by his con- fidence and supported his delegates. The ambition to be on the winning side is more potent than principle. There being no longer opportunity to get votes by bluff, however, Colonel ROOSEVELT has receded from his purpose to oppose the election of RooT to the office of temporary president of the con- vention. A contingent of the Illinois delegates visited him the other day and admonished him that a test of strength at that stage of the game would be dan- gerous. RooT might and probably would win, anyway, they said, and in that event the ROOSEVELT delegates might scamper to the other side.
