JOHNSON WILL BO ALL HE CAN TO HELP TICliET Mr. Kern Says He is Gratified at Nomination, Is Proud To Be With Mr. Bryan On Ticket, And Will Stump In Interest of Ticket. (By ERNEST ELI ROESEB) .. Denver, July' 11-Never before have the leaders of; the democratic party been bo confident of victory as they are this year. In other years the leaders of the party have, as a matter of policy, expressed confidence in the outcome of the election. This year the expression seems to come from the heart and to be accompanied by sublime confidence that the time for democratic victory is at hand. . At a meeting of the national committee immediately after the adjourn ment of the convention, there was assembled a group of men who, with the exception of only one or two, wore expressions of confidence that were born of their convictions and were not the result of an assumption of manner which might be excusable and proper .under the circumstances. , With the end in view to establish their convictions, a number of the most prominent democrats attending the convention were Interviewed today with the following result: '.', - . "It's a Masterful Platfoam.". tha$ ,-; ' 'v.V Norman B.- Mack, .New- York "The- tariff, ttut!( guarantee' of bank deposits) and the regulation of railroad rates constitute ' the paramount Issues of thin campaign. The platform handles these' subjects In a masterful mannermuch better than did the republican platform. I firmly believe that the democratic ticket will be elected this fall." "Republican Prosperity Snare and Delusion," guys Woodson. . Urey Woodson, secretary of the national committee "Of course the democratic candidates for the presidency .will be elected. The republicans have made it possible. The people are awakening to the fact that repub lican prosperity is a snare and delusion and that their hope of real freedom, real prosperity, and of a real fair deal lies in the election of the democratic ticket." ; : I -.: ; : ... " ' Daniels Says Victory Must Coine to Kryau and Kern. Josephus Daniels, North Carolina "Bryan and Kern will be elected. One has only to compare the two conventions to distinguish the differences between the chances of the two parties. The tariff, trusts and anti-injunction planks will, in my opinion, form the paramount issue. Of the ultimate result I have no doubt. Victory awaits democracy this time." v "Democrats Will Be Swept In," Gore is Certain. Senator Gore, of Oklahoma -"We have the vflnntng candidates; we have the platform, and we have victory ahead of us. The result of republi can administration and of republican failure have made it possible for us to elect. The democratic party will be swept Into power with an over whelming majority." . v .'. ;.'-.,;,, - ;':: -., ,,.' Tonilinson Says "Panic Will Bring Democracy Back to Power." . James W. Tomllnson, of Alabama "I believe there will be a demo cratltTvlctory this year, and I know that I am not deliberately deceiving myself. The country has been coming to this for a long time. ; Mr. Bryan has been a strong candidate on each occasion that he" has run, but he has had to contend with a natural, but unprecedented wave of prosperity. The panic of this year and the existing conditions demand a change, and a change we are going to have." ; " . . ' Fleming Predict Greatest Majority Missouri Ever Gave. Fred. W. Fleming, of Missouri "My state always gives the demo cratic majority, but this year we will give Mr. Bryan a greater majority than we have ever given a candidate before. The time has come for the democrats to go into power. The entire platform is the issue." VPeoplrt Want Bryan This Time," Californian vleclare8. Nathan Cole, of California "WHUam J. Bryan and what he stands for forms the Issue.., I believe the people want him this time, and I am convinced that he will bp swept o.n to victory by a national feeling that be 1b the man to remedy many existing conditions. Bryttu'a Personal Manager Sure As Though Election's Over. James C. Dahlman, of Omaha (Mr. Bryan's political manager) "Mr. Bryan will be elected, of course. This ia as certain as it the election were yesterday and 1 spoke from the returns. The tariff, trusts, and the guar antee of bank deposits constitute the principal issues." "Republicans Have Straddled," Opinion of Alva Adams. Alva Adams, of Colorado "The national desire to beat Taft and cause a change in the system of government will elect the democratic ticket. Everything the democrats stand for is the issue, for the republicans have straddled most issues," "Ticket Winner," Says Knight, "Why Say More?" Raymond D. Knight, of Florida The platform is at good as could be framed by any body of men with the Interests of the country at heart. The ticket is a winning ticket. What more need be said?" James Looks For Uprising and Change In November. OUie M. James, of Kentucky "Bryan and Kern will be the next presi dent and vice-president. , It it time tbia country- had a democrat In the whitA house..
