STORY
SAYS MR.. ToWNE IS A FOIL
Asserts That Delegates to Sioux
Falls Convention Carried Writ
ten Instructions From
Mr.. Bryan.

OMAHA, Neb., May 13.-The Bee is au-
thority for the statement that when the
delegates to the Sioux Falls convention,
who stopped off in Omaha, resumed their
northward journey, the leaders were sup
piled with written memorandum, in Mr..
Bryan's own writing, outlining the plan
they were expected to pursue on the
vice presidency in alternative PROPOSE
tions, to be proposed in their order. On
authority not to be questioned this men,
orandum read as follows:
First-Refer to committee for confer
ence with Democratic and silver ReDub-
lican committees, and with power to ap-
point.
Second-Select several names for sub
mission to Democratic and silver Repub-
ucan conventions, and add to the list of
names the words, "or some other per-
son equally committed to reform prm-
cipIes.''
Third-Nominate some man. who will
withdraw if not indorsed by the other
two parties.
The final adoption of the third, or ulti-
matum plank Of Col. Bryan's bill of in
structions, will be taken to mean that

Webster Davis stirs Up Hornets
Nest in MISSOURI

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 13-Clans be-
gan gathering tonight for the state con-
vention of Missouri Republicans, who
meet on Tuesday to name a state ticket
and select four delegates at large to Phil
adelphia.
For the state officers, from Joseph FIory,
for governor, down, there will be practi-
cally no contest. But a tussle is looked
for when the delegates at large are Sc
lected. Prominent among those who are
mentioned for delegates are D. M Houser,
of the st. Louis Globe-Democrat; Richard
c. Kerens, national committeeman, and
Nathan Frank, both also from ST Louis +;
John L. Bittinger, of st. Joseph; Maj.
William Warner, United States district
attorney, of Kansas City; Pat Dyer, c. G..
Burton and Webster Davis, ex-assistant
secretary Of the interior.
Mr.. Davis arrived in the city today from
the East, ostensibly only to fill a lecture
date tomorrow, and his coming has
caused excitement among some of the del
egates, who profess to believe he will seek
some office and spoil the States
In an interview tonight Mr. Davis de-
clared emphatically that he was a candi-
date for no office; that his lecture tour
pleased him, and that it had proved more
profitable than any office. However,
he said he would ask that Mr.. Kerens be
selected a delegate at large to PhiladeI-
phia, and he would work for him.
