STEVENSON ENDORSED
BY SILVERITE FORCES

Kansas City, July IA protracted
meeting of the conference committees
Of the Democratic, Populists and Silver
Republican parties was held at the Ly-
ceum Hall last night, at which the
vice presidential situation was dis
cussed with a view to bringing about
an agreement between the three par
ties. The members of the Democratic
committee urged the Populist and Sill
yer Republican representatives to use
their influence in urging their parties
to the support Of Bryan and Steven
son.
"The Democrats all over the coun-
try" said Committeeman Johnson,
turning to the POpulists, know that
Mr.. Bryan is your kind Of a man. II
the two parties were to unite, and fac
tions arose, every Democrat knows
that Mr.. Bryan would be found with
your party. Democrats felt that the
nomination of Bryan was in Difference
to the more radical reform element Of
the party, and that a selection should
be made for vice president to hold the
conservatives. This brought about Mr.
Stevenson's nomination. There never
was a time that Mr.. Towne had a
show of success"
It was fully decided to hold another
conference later between the Demo-
cratic committee and subcommittee
from the POpulists and Silver Republi-
cans, the result to be reported to the
full committee of the two latter par
ties for approval. Members of both

Lincoln, July 1.-THE plan Of cam

all coming to extend congratulations
and express qualification over his nom
ination. When the bulletin came an
nouncing the selection of Hon. Adlai
Stevenson Mr.. Bryan expressed his
pleasure, and soon after dictated the
following:
'Mr. Stevenson is an excellent man
for the place. He supported the ticket
in 1896 and can defend the platform
OF 1900. Towne would have strength
ened the ticket in the states where
there is fusion between the Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans, but
the support given Mr.. Stevenson shows
the convention thought Mr.. Steven
son the more available man. The
choice has fallen upon one who is in
every respect worthy of the position. "
Mr. Bryan then sent the following
message to Mr. Stevenson:
Accept congratulations upon your
nomination. 1t was a deserved recog-
milton of party service"
All through the day kilograms of
congratulation poured in on the presi-
Dental candidate. including one from
Mr.. Stevenson.
Mr.. Bryan definitely decided not to

had a conversation over the telephone
with members of the national commit

ENDORSE TICKET

speeches in favor Of endorsing the
Democratic ticket but it was not until
Towne himself appeared and appealed
to the convention not to nominate him,
but to concentrate their forces, that
the delegates Gained down, and the
vice presidential nomination was re-
ferred to the national committee.
1.-THE Silver Republicans have made
r good fight" said Mr.. Towne in his
zpeech "They have been defeated, but
It is our duty to support the ticket
nominated by the national Democratic
convention"
He insisted that there was an issue
in the coming election which towers
above men, and he implored the con-
vention to look at It as he did. He
begged them to remember that Bryan
was still at the head. The platform Of
the Democratic party was almost
identical, at least in principle, with
the platform Of the Silver Republican
party While Mr.. Towne was speaking
several attempts were made to inter
rupt him with questions. The con-
vention howled down the attempts
until Mr.. Towne yielded to the ques-
tions, after which he insisted that 1t
was his wish that the convention
should not nominate him. The con-
vention gave Mr.. Towne most respect
full consideration, and while he was
speaking it was evident that the con-
vention was disposed to follow his
advice and wishes. although there was
some determination to nominate him
in spite Of his declination. But his
arguments prevailed in the end.
The national committee of the Sill
yer Republicans organized by electing
d. c. Tillotson of Kansas chairman
and Gen. d. S. Corser of Minnesota
secretary and treasurer. Senator Du-
bois offered a resolution pledging the
support of the Silver Republicans to
Adlai F. Stevenson, but there was OPP
position and action was postponed un-
til after a conference with the COM
mittee appointed by the Democratic
convention.
