| The only prominent Bryanites seen at

| Senator Jones' Senator German, Arthur
Sewall Richard P. Bland and w ]. Tom
| linson. Senator Jones had not yet made
up his list of committees. and did not
| know when he could finish the work. 1t
| is said he has found great difficulty in
selecting the Campaign Committee, be-
! cause there are not nine members of
! any experience in national campaigns. 1t
was said this morning that Mr.. Jones
had decided to go outside the committee
/ for chairman of the Campaign Committee.
| and would add to that committee several
outsiders as advisers" According to
another rumor D. J. Campau. the national
committeeman from Michigan, has been
selected as chairman of the Campaign
/ Committee. If an. outsider is chosen for
| the chairmanship Congressman James D..

Senators Jones and German will prob

| having his HEADQUARTERS in Chicago.
! Mr.. Bryan said this morning that the
postponement of his trip to Maine was
not in any degree due OF feeling that
/ his reception here had been cold. On the
! contrary he had been greatly pleased
| with the manner in which he had been
received The real reason for the inter-
rupt.on of his original plan was the fact
1 that he found himself more fatigued than
| he had expected to be by the amount OF
| speakink he had been obliged to do on his
! trip to this city, and that an immediate
! repetition Of this exhaust'ng experience
| by journey to Maine would be unwise.
