LINCOLN, Nob., June 2:!— Discus
sinc in tlie Commoner the possible
*
candidates for the democratic nomina
tion for President, William Jennings
Bryan has the following to say:
McAdoo is handicapped by his re
lationship with Wilson. President Wil
son himself need not be considered.
Iloover is not available and therefore
eliminated.
Among the few available are Owen,
of Oklahoma and Secretary of Agri
culture Meredith.
Bryan says the candidate must be
for woman’s suffrage, prohibition and
against Wall Street.
TTryaa says Attorney General Pal
mer has fallen down in dealing with
the profiteers and is also unfortunate
in espousing the treaty without reser
vations.
Bryan says Clark is mentioned as
having hic own state behind h m;
there is opposition to Cox and Ed
wards and reiterated that Marshall is
accussed of making a feeble bid for
the wet vote. Gerald’s candidacy, ac
cording to Bryan, has the support of
South Dakota and he has many per
sonal friends elsewhere.
Ill van predicts the convention at
San Francisco will witness fights ov
or the peace treaty, profiteering, pro
hibition. He believes that the chances
are in favor of ratification with reser
vations and against the profiteer and
the saloon. Bryan says the convention
will indorse woman’s suffrage, con
demn compulsory militory training
and insist on the right of toilers to
'<iual treatment.
