PROMINENT MEN WORKING
The anti-Bryan forces, both within the
party and among the Palmer and Buckner
people, are doing some very active secret
work, which has at last attracted the atten-
ton of Bryan's friends Their efforts are at
present centering around German as a pos
sible candidate, but when the proper time
comes they are ready to turn from him to
some other If one can be found more avail
able for their purposes. There has been
some vague talk about German for a long
time, but until recently there have been no
weN-matured plans resting definitely upon
him as candidate Little by little the
matter has developed and here and there
been revealed, until the character of work
beng done has come to be pretty well un-

ton and all those who have any authority
are working in harmony with the acknowl-
edged ann OF compelling the party to again
nominate Bryan and re-enact the Chicago
platform. Their control of the party ma
chInery is so complete and they are so alive
TO the work before them that 1t is not easy
to conceive how they can be thwarted
TO Take Bryanites by SURPRISE
But that the antiBryan element have
hopes OF success is evident from the atten-
ton they are giving to the work. Such is
the condition of the party, the sound money
men being at an additional disadvan+aue on
account Of so many of them having got out
