Senator John- ‘son will endeavor to lead the progres- sive wing of the Republican party, and William Jennings Bryan prob- ably will feel that if Cox is defeated the mantle of leadership should go to the oldest of the Democratic leaders in America to-day—himselt. It is from the Commoner itself, which is publivbed here, that the straws are taken which show the way In the current issue one finds under the signature of William Jennings Bryan the fol- gee |iowing editorial about Hiram Jobn~ son. “Senator Johnson has come nearer than any, other associate of Mr, Roosevelt, maintaining a hold upon the Hrogressive senti- ment of his party. He surprised the Wall Street crowd by the fol- jowing he developed among the rank and file of that party. If there had been a national pri- mary a9 that all Republicans could have expressed themselv: through the ballot, he would have exerted a much larger influence in the Republican Convention, He was hampered by lack of news- paper rupport—he had no way of getting his case before the vote: AND JOHNSON SAYS GOOD WORD FOR BRYAN, On another page, bul near enough not to be overlooked ts printed from the Sunset Magazine a paragraph from an article under the signature of Hiram Johnson, which says: “It was refreshing to listen to William Jennings Bryan at the Democratic National Convention, There may bo littie he said with which we agree but at least he had hin say. Hoe stood before a hostile convention, spoke his heart, and while the delegates molidly yoted against him, he moved the galleries to the one genuine demonstration in the gathering, When a man stands his ground in the face of news- paper ridicule and organized op- position, and preaches the faith that is in him, he commands the admiration and respect of those who love courage and free ex- pression, Mr, Bryan represents a dwindling fow in our National life; thowe who yet believe in the American right of free and frank discussion. principles, courageously. “the| ma: Bane $8235352232 2222 apeoch In battling openly and Aithough our views be atlvariance with, his-—-Mr, His Life Work Went to Smash When His Players Confessed Throwing Champion- ship Games for Gamblers’ Money. \ By Hugh S. Fullerton. (Copyright, 1220, by Hugh f Fullerton.) ARLOS A. COMISKEY, the “Grand Old Romaa,” ‘s‘the man who saved baae- ‘ball. His act in forcing the ex- Powure of the crooked players on his team will eventually restore the game to its former standards of honesty and to its high place in the nublic esteem. Comiskey expelled players he could have sold during this sea- won for close to a quarter of a million dollars, He did not watt for the indictments to be voted by the Chicago Grand Jury, but issued an order suapending them the moment he heard the astound- ing confersion of Eddie Cicotte of how the team had been cor- rupted, This scandal, the culmination of a year of suffering and worry, it im feared, will mean the death of Comiskey, The money loss means little to him, but his loss of faith in the honesty of his play- ers is 4 terrible blow, Comiskey knew last fall that womething was wrong. He know that the team, which was his ride, did not try to win, He knew it because the clreumstantial evt- dence was too strong to ignore, yet his heart oried out that it could not be true. Sometimes, during the early winter, ho would alt for periods thinking, worrying, a would explode / and shout; “By God, it- CAN'T be‘ trie. ‘my boys wouldn't do it.” He fought aguinat petieving the evidenve that was piling up. He wanted to believe his boys inno- cent, Yet for the sake of the game he pinyed, the gume in which he grew up and in which he made suddenly parties and amalgamated tn @ third party, But the inference is far from being realized. Third parties are futile in the judgment of both Mr, Johnson and Mr. Bryan. Even the Non-Partisan League has shrewdly foreseen the almost impossible struggle that confronts a minority party and has captured the Republi- can or Democratic primaries in @ Btate ag the case may be, and then gone to the, voters with all the ad- vertining and prestige that the old party labels can commant Messrs, Bryan and Johnson have ip conurion & desire to get possession of the jeadership of the two vis parties, by boring from within, But William Jennings Bryan haa given his townfolk something to think about Ubis year by his tendency to depart from the lines of regularity of which he has #0 often boasted, Tine was when Bryan would defy his fortune, he poured out thou- sands of dollars to get the evi~ dence that they were guilty. He epee va | the Botostives he hired the stories nothing Dut the fee of crooked gamblers. I started investigating the case right after the seriee—and resumed the Investigation after @ vacation. I told Commy that I intended to get at the truth if it took the re life to do it, T said to him one day: “Commy, if you will say that they are innocent [ will believe it drop the whole thing.” “{ can't.” he sald simply, “T cannot get any proof, but I can't way It.” Then tears came into hi and he said: “I'd give every- thing I have prove that they didn't do it. By God, they COULDN'T have done tt!’ Hin health broke rapidly under the strain, When the season started this year he had “aged.” His doctor warned him against ant himaelf to become ex- te refused to let Commy watch the games. So he sat sSeagon, most of the time alone in his private office at the park, worrying, thinking. When the proof was furnished, when at last’ the evidence for which he sought was coi he expelled eight away a fortune, Yet his faith in the honesty of Daseball remains unshaken, “It's too great a game to be spolled by crooks. And it is a game worth naving.’ ‘And during all this time other baseball powers were threatening to drive out of baseball any writer who hinted at the need of purging the paid: = "Get ft ‘are guilty I'll hem out of the game forever.” eyes So far as Congress la concerned, but that his support of Gov.

If the atatéments of the players be- fore the Chicago Grand Jury are true, At least $140,000 In cash was divided, or was contributed to be divided, Tn addition to that it is estimated that the crooks who engineered the deal cleaned up clove to $200,000 in beta on the first game, and that more than $250,000 was wagered on the result of the series. Plainly, allowing for the turnover of money won and the betting on credit, there was more than $300,000 actual méney needed to finance the plot, | Who had that much money to put up?

FIND MAN WHO WIRED MONEY TO ATTELL AND BURNS. ‘That there was money transferred in large quantities by telegraph is certain, Both Attell and Burns were wiring from Cincinnati to get money. They were quickly supplied with) funds, and it is certain that the tele- graph company keeps a record of the transfer of money in large sums. ‘The telegraph company can be sum- | moned to produce sued records in| court in a criminal proceeding. The persons who sept the money from New York and from Boston to fleld agents on the scene in Cincinnati can be located quickly. It"ls probable the man who actually fent the money Js not the one who supplied it, but his agent. But through him the source can be traced. The exposure of the frame-up of the series has led to wild and unbased charges against all sorts of persons, and the Brodkiyn team has been men- tloned as under suspicion. The idea of fixing the coming series is ridicu- jous, If any one attempted to whisper to « ball player now he would jump sideways ten feet. Further than that, it is By belief that if there are two honest ball clubs in baseball those two clubs are the ones that will meet jn the series, Two of tho Brooklyn players are charged with betting on fast year's series, but that charge amounts to nothing.
