]. Bryan and Hon Adlai E. Stevenson
were today in this city officially and form
ally notified OF their nominations by the
democrats at their recent Kansas City
convention 10 the offices respectively OF
president and vice president of the United

The ceremony was made the occasion
of a popular demonstration and with it
the democrats may be fairly said to have
begun their National campaign.
The notification occurred in Military
park. beautifully shaded tract of
ground in the center of the city. The
park contains probably thirty acres. and
was we'll covered with people
Several members OF the democratic Ma
tional committee were present, in add
zion to the members of the two commit
tees appointed to make the official noti-
fication
! The ceremony was preceded by a pa
rade. which was participated in by a
number Of visiting and local democratic
clubs. These acted as an escort to the
notification party and the cavalcade was
an imposing one. The meeting began a few
minutes after 8 o'clock and concluded at
$40 ?. M. In this period Of time five
speeches were made, welcoming address
by Mayor Taggart OF Indianapolis, the
two notification speeches By Represent
tive Richardson and Governor Thomas
and the response by Mr. Bryan and Mr.,
. Stevenson.
The weather was hot, but toward the
close OF the ceremonies Il slight breezl
alleviated to some extent the suffering
occasioned by the high temperature. At
one time it appeared IS ii actual suiIoea-
ton might be the result of the terrible
crowdng In front of the stand where tae
ceremonies occurred, but beyond a fen
faint.ng attacks AMI much disIomlor'
no ey!l results were seen. The platform
on which the speeches were made was ele
waited about SIX feet above the para lawn
