RALEIGH, N. C , TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1908. PEICE 5 CENT& SENATORS LEANT0MR.J0HNS0N F0BTWDBDD1ES Dozen of Them Now Desire Uolnstructed Delegations to Denver Convention, and Such Delegations Are Counted as Favoring Minnesota Governor. OVERMAN AND SIMMONS Latter at Raleigh Expresses Belief That Men Who Go to Democratic Gathering Should Be Free to Pick Out Strongest Man for Nomination. (By Leased Win! to The Times) : "; Washington, May 12 If the political IKni lojiain.s of Governor John' A. Johiison, of Minnesota, are correct, in their optimistic view of the sit tuition, the governor on his arrival In tills city today will have reason to lie pleased with the progress "of his boom for the democratic presidential nominal ion. His headquarters herj last night issued this statement: "Today many of the important stale senators from the south came out limn unqualified manner for thd policy of southern , states sending unlnstructed delegations to the Denver convention While many of these senators expressed no antagonism to Mr. Bryan, it is well known that Hryan wants the delegations instructed for him and that unlnstructed delegations are looked on as Johnson delegations. "Among those who came out for "unlnstructed delegations were Sen ators Tillman, Clay, Martin, Taliaferro, Daniel. Foster, Simmons, Over man, Bacon. Smith, Johnston, and Bnukhead." Simmons Says Hp's Opposed to Instructed Delegation. United'. States Senator F, M. Simmons; who is in Raleigh this after noon, was asked by a reporter of The Times if a telegraph story received from Washington saying that he and Senator Overman, along with other prominent Southern senators, were In favor of an unlnstructed delegation to Denver were true. The senator frankly admitted that he could not speak for Mr. Overman, as Hurt gentleman should be given the privilege of expressing his views on the question. "I have thought ail the time," saiJ Senator Simmons, "thfct there is no necessity for instructing the delegates to the Denver convention. This Is my personal opinion, without reference to any of the candidates for the nomination. ' "It. would seem best to allow the delegates to decide on the question when it confronts them in Denver. If Mr. Bryan is found to be the best man, why, then Mr. Bryan should be nominated: if somebody else is stronger, and. would make the part;.' a greater leader, he should be nom inated." - The senator believes that the party Is greater than the man and that It should not commit itself at such a time. As he stated, it might be found that somebody else other than Mr. Bryan could get such a follow ing as would insure his election and for the party to send pledged dele gates to the convention would be unjust to the democracy of the country. From press reports from Washington and they are not denied two-thirds of the leading democrats of the senate ale also in accord with the views of Senator Simmons and Senator Tillman. The statement of Senator Simmons will be fraught with significance In view of the fact that the state convention will meet in Charlotte in June. The opposition to an Instruct ?d delegation has grown. It is known, ; not so much because of hostility "to Mr. Bryan, hut because many believe it would be folly to instruct with the national convention so far off. Senator Simmons has been to his farm In Jones county, where he went to register. He. will return to, Washington this evening HUGHESWILLNOTI TAKE 2ND PLACE Letter to Gen.
