Bryan at Home.

Special to the Bee
Lincoln, June William J. Bryan
returned at noon today from his Wis
consin fishing trip and visit to Chicago
and will remain in Lincoln until after
the democratic national convention. He
said he had been placed in wrong posi-
ton by some one who had presumed to
outline his plan of campaig n, and dictated
the following: ANY statement made
by anybody in regard to campaign plans
are without foundation or authority. No
plans have been made by me or by any
one for me, and no plans will be made
until after the convention has been held"
Mr.. Bryan said the platform would reaf
firm the Chicago platform, and would
contain nothing that could be construed
as Il modification of the old platform,
and that the document will contain
strong planks against trusts, imperialism
and militarism and will express sympa-
thy for the Beers. Mr.. Bryan refused to
discuss the vice presidential question.
