Bryan Seeks to
Coax Floridians
Washington Politicians Sus
pect Commoner Seeks Only
Election as Delegate.
Washington, Jan. IS.-♦Political ob
servers here and In Florida believe
William Jennings Bryan has his fin
gers crossed and is endeavoring to
win a seat in the national delegation to
the convention against odds when he
favors an almost unknown Florida
university professor as the democratic
nominee for president.
The real test of sincerity of William
Jennings Bryan and "Brother Char
ley," according to these observers.
Will come In the next few weeks If
"Brother Charley" comes out openly
in Nebraska for the Florida profes
sor and demands an Instructed dele
gation for him It will be taken to
mean W. J. Bryan really wants the
Florida professor to develop strength
at the conventions If not it will be
believed that W. J. Bryan Is merely^
playing for a seat among the Florida
delegates to the convention.
The politicians here believe that
Bryan is facing bitter opposition ln»
Florida in his race for delegate to
the convention In an effort to raise
a "native son" hue in that state with
him a3 the chief booster, thus going
In on the Florida professor’s popu
larity.
This theory that Bryan is for tlie
Florida professor in Florida and for s
well known dark horse In other states
is strengthened hy the action of W.
H. Thompson, democratic national
committeeman from Nebraska, who,
while in Washington announced he
was for Bryan for president and no
one else. To anyone who really knows
ihe relationship between Bryan and
Thompson, it is a dead certainty that
Thompson, who traveled to and from
Washington with "Brother Charley,”
and, who always fought the Bryan
fights In Nebraska, that he Issued
this statement after consulting with
one of the Bryans.
