Show I DAILY 4 UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON, EDITOR. WHAT BRYAN WILL DO. There has been an unseemly and indiscreet endeavor to drive William J, Bryan into a corner. From all over the country he has been asked to say whether he will or will not support the candidate and the platform to be placed before the people at St. Louis, by the . Democratic convention. Where he has chosen to reply, he has said in effect that no one should be asked to commit himself in advance to a proposition of this character; that the assumption naturally is that a Democratic convention will nominate a Democrat and declare for Democratic principles; that, such being the assumption with regard to the convention, it is only a fair assumption that Democrats will vote the ticket; and that, to insist upon pledging a man in advance, is to cast advance suspicion upon the work of the convention itself. The answers have been variously received in various parts of the country. Some publicists have placed the only logical construction upon Mr. Bryans replies and have assumed, as he has done, that the Democratic convention at St. Louis will be Democratic in Its action and that, therefore, William J. Bryan will be a strong supporter of the platform and the candidate. Others have insinuated that Mr. Bryan is making a big loophole, out of which he can crawl if he fails to carry out his own personal purposes at St. Louis. For our part we do not believe that under any circumstances, Mr. Bryan will bolt the convention at St. Louis or fail to support its nominee and its platform. He has twice been honored with the highest nomination which his party could give; and he has been followed as loyally as any man that ever lived by millions of his fellow citizens. The one particular issue of several which divided Demo-cra- ts in 18 and 1900, is no longer before the country. Mr. Bryan and his friends were right on the money question; and their view is the eternal truth. But circumstances have made it impracticable to advance that issue as a political contention of importance in this year. There is then, nothing of substantial character to justify division of the Democracy. Warring leaderships and personal aspirations are not of themselves sufficient to cover any mans recession from party fealty. We yield to no one in admiration of William J. Bryan's great qualities of mind and heart. He is a statesman and a patriot. We cannot conceive that he will act in any but a statesmanlike and patriotic way; but if he should do so, he would, of course, subject himself to the sorrowing criticism of millions of his former adherents who will realize that being human he has for once erred. The logic of the situation is for Mr. Bryan to say as any other man should say under these circumstances: I led the hosts ot Democracy under the, banner of truth twice against the enemy and twice we were defeated. The party meets again this year to declare the truths of today and to choose a new leader. As I loyally led in the two former battles, I shall now loyally follow in this war. Anything less than this is so unlike Bryan as not td be conceived. MR. PEERYS MISSION. National Committeeman David Henry Peery has gone East to confer with leaders of the Democratic party. It is only fair that his attitude and his mission shall be thoroughly understood. As is well known, a proposition will be made at St. Louis to insert a plank in the platform recommending'or demanding an antipolygamy amendment to the constitution of the United States. Mr. Peery will lay the political aspect of this case before the other members of the national committee. He will demonstrate to them that the plank is aimed particularly at Utah, incidentally to states immediately susrounding.and not at all at the rest of the country. He will demand in the interest of equal rights, as well as equal responsibilities, that any such plank shall cover all of the marriage and divorce relations in order to apply to all of the states of the union equally; and if the point is not conceded, he will contend that it is an improper political proceeding for the national Democratic party to attack Utah, which gives promise of returning to the Democratic column unless such strife shall be created as to drive back a large body of voters who are headed from Republican ranks to Democracy in this state. Mr. Peery does not intend to deal with the UTAH STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY, JUNE IS, 1934. lie does not assume to ethics of the case.

It is too early to say what should be done in case Mr. Peery shall fail after the great work which is expected of him, and in case the Utah member of the committee on platform and resolutions shall also fail.

The arrest of a man who is supposed to be one of the assassins that blew up the nonunion miners at the Independence depot in Colorado, gives hope that the whole gang may be finally captured and may receive a just punishment. Whatever may have been the provocation to excesses on either side of the controversy in Colorado between capital and labor, the law which holds the scales of justice evenly balanced cannot be governed by mistaken sentimentalities. Though union men were being deported at wholesale without trial; though the intention was to drive every union miner from his chosen place of abode and to deprive him of n his right to work; yet the murder of men who were being brought to God-give- non-uni- on fill the places of union miners is nevertheless an inexcusable assassination for which the perpetrators should hang if hanging has not been abolished by the law of Colorado. It is time for the law to lay its stern unyielding hand upon the anarchists of both types in our neighbor state; those who, possessing no pretended authority of law seek to destroy human life and property, to overthrow all power of government, and to set up either unionism or as a substitute for law and order; and those who, acting in the name of the great commonwealth, bearing its authority, holding its executive power and wearing the countrys uniform, degrade the law which they are especially sworn to uphold and act like the chiefs of Chinese brigands. non-unionis- m with her daughter, Mrs. Point Lookout M.
