LA FOLLETTE CAMP SEES SIRE I | VICTORY IN CHOICE OF DAVIS Nomination of Governor Bryan Will Make Fight Hanier in Some States Is Headquarters View. George F. Authier in New York World. Chicago, July 11.—Recognizing no liallintitive in the nomination of Charles W. Bryan, of Nebraska, for vice presi dent on the Democratic ticket, the I>a Follette forces here today declared the "nomination of Jluhn W. Davie by the r Avail Street IhUreets makes fc&qtatvtr 1 Robert M. La Folletto’s election as Presi ' dent a certainty.” It was with this militant declaration that Representative John M. Nelson, of 1 AVisconsin, who will manage the La Follette campaign, greeted the nomina tions. In its effect upon the AVest, there is no doubt the nomination of Davis brings comfort to the La Follette lead ers, although the result of the nomina tion of Gov. Ilryan for the second place is disturbing. While withholding their bitterest com ments. the nomination of Gov. Bryan, and the acceptance of the ticket by AA’il liain J. Bryan is looked upon by the La Follette men as something akin to apostasy by the Bryans. Nebraska to See Battle. The nomination will make Nebraska a i unique battleground. The farmers of , that state will be asked to determine whether they will follow the leadership . of Gov. Bryan or of Senator George W. Norris. There is no logical place for Norris except in the La Follette chariot, while Senator R. B. Howell, expected i to remain regular, will take no active part in the campaign. , Nebraska, in addition to these rival forces, is also the home of the two vice , presidential candidates, for it was at ; Lincoln that Gen. - Charles G. Dawes [ started in his business career. It was by Former Representative Jefferie, of i Omaha, that he was placed in nomina . tion at Cleveland. The nomination of Bryan for second place on the Democratic ticket is looked upon as a challenge to the La Follette forces in their own section, and they will accept it. They insist they will make no terms with Bryan and will name their own candidate for vice president, ■ porbably at Washington July 18th. Despite the appearance of harmony which marked the close of the Democrat ic convention, the La Follette forces are determined to make an attempt to line up the disgruntled elements of the Democrats in the comping campaign. The Bryan candidacy is not expected by them to have much effect in Wis consin, Minnesota and North Dakota, but in states like Illinois, lowa, South Dakota and Nebraska, regardless of their confidence, the effect is uncertain. Up to the time of naming Bryan for - the second place, the La Follette people were confident they would carry all the states named. The injection of Bryan into the situation, however, precipitates a ■ new value and makes the three-cor nered struggle one in which each of the three groups may hope to win. The effect of the completed nomina tions on lillincis is attracting keen in ’ terest. This state represents the man ner in which all of the parties through- I out the West are disrupted. \The R«- , publicunsfcare in an especially bad way. , Fighting in Brazil of Desperate Char acter.

McMahon, of Ra leigh, gives it as his opinion that La Follette will not come to North Caro lina for a campaign. Mr. McMahon was a McAdoo organiz er during the campaign and he doubt less was among the many who sent tele grams to the North Carolina delegation to hold fast to McAdoo. It was the opinion cf leaders in the state delegation that the labor folks would resent any breaking away of North Carolina if there appeared at any time a chance to nomi nate- McAdoo.
