'There isn't any doubt hut there will be a general hus tle on the part of present and pros pective cand dates to do this. One can imagine, if his mind is built right, Attorney General Reed getting out of the senatorial tight that Mr. Bryan might have a cle'Jr track. Then, there is former Governor Morehead.
