The Delawarean as a rule does not
advocate the claims of candidates for
political office in advance of the party
conventions, whose province it is to
name them But there seems to be
such a general and pronounced senti-
ment peryading the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party at this time in favor of
the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan that we believe the Democracy
of the State will demand that the dele
gates selected to represent Delaware in
the National Convention alt Kansas
City go there with definite instruction
from our State convention to cast the
vote of Delaware for this gifted son Of
Nebraska.
