 Several speeches were made during the closing hours of the conference. One was by w. W. Wheeler, who is chairman of the peoples party in this state. He said, in substance, that If the democratic state convention should not give the silver democrats due con- slderation the peoples party would welcome the followers of Bryan and Sewall, making no demands, but simply asking that the party he represented be allowed to select one of the six cleo tors to be voted for. This elector would be pledged to vote for Bryan. He must, however, be allowed to cast his vote for Tom Watson, the populfstic candidate for vice president.
