TRACTS FROM LETTER OVER WHICH
HE GROWS ENTHUSIASTIC

Elliot Danforth. chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic State Committee, was at
the Hoffman House yesterday In consultation with
various Democratic leaders. He seemed cheerful
and happy and said that the State organization
being whipped into shape so that great fight
could be made this fall. Ex-senator Hill is writing
the platform be adopted by the State Conven-
tion which be held in this city on June .. and
this platform 1t is said will be along the lines of
the platform which the ex-senator hopes will be ac-
cepted at Kansas City, and for which he will make
fight.
Certain local Democrats say that the Western
Democrats ready to shelve silver and make
trusts and imperialism the issues in the coming
campaign; that Mr.. Bryan, while not abandoning in
the slightest degree free silver yet realizes that
other issues have become more acute, and is ready
to take the questions OF the moment: that II
platform is adopted at Kansas City which is con-
servative IN ifs planks the Eastern Democrats Will
be able go into the fight and carry some Eastern
States which otherwise would be hopelessly Repub
lican In proof of the assertion that Mr. Bryan is
willing to take up new issues and let silver take
care Of itself Mr.. Danforth yesterday made public
extracts from letter received from William +.
Sapp, president of the Sunfower League of Kan
sas. before which Mr. Bryan recently made an ad-
dress. Mr.. Sapp quotes part Of this address to
prove that Mr.. Bryan is ready to harmonize with
Eastern Democrats. Referring to Mr.. Bryan's
speech Mr.. Sapp writes:
Mr. Bryan down on the list to respond to
of the political questions before the people. except
silver. He dismissed that question in this manner;
II am asked often a week II have
abandoned silver. To that question I answer, No.
But suppose 1 should abandon sver-what diff
ference would it make? the people The
people make the issue not the man. No man is
greater than his party
Mr. Danforth viewed this testimony with enthusi-
asm. He said it the only thing needed to har-
monize every Democrat in the Nation and bring
about Democratic victory this fall Mr. Bryan
has taken the position" Mr.. Danforth said
that every Eastern Democrat hoped he would
take. and IL he maintains that position l have no
