Seven Fight for Place at Ticket Head
Baltimore, June 25. Seven of democracy's strong men are avowed candidates for the presidential nomination. None can do more than hope to receive the required 728 votes on the first ballot. Bryan has said repeatedly he is in no sense a candidate, yet he goes into the convention as a delegate from Nebraska the second choice of more states than any avowed candidate. He seeks to gain control of the convention for progressives and block a reactionary nomination. If Parker fights, Bryan's camp hopes to shape the platform and influence nominations. conservatives expect Parker to hold about 650 votes while Bryan backers forecast a Bryan victory or a platform victory for progressivism.
