An important second to that of the

publican convention for the election Of
delegates to the national convention

was permanent chairman Of the con-
vention and another is one OF the dele
gates to the national convention. The
temporary chairman was Judge w. 3.

BRYAN PoPuLIsTs
They Meet in South Dakota and Talk
Only of the Presidency.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., May s.-The
increase Of delegates and the approach
to the time Of calling the national
populist convention TO order. served to
accentuate the differences of opinion
among the delegates as to the policy to
be pursued with reference to the nomi
nation of a candidate for the vice
presidency
AS the time goes on it becomes more
and more evident that this is practic-
ally the only question which the con-
vention will have to decide, and 1t is
occupying the attention alike of the
delegates and visitors so exclusively
as to render the situation quite monot-
onous on that account.
There is occasional reference to a
platform, and 1t is understood a few
OF the long-headed leaders have been
drawing up plans and suggesting
propositions for Incorporating in the
declaration of principles, but while
this is true, the great majority of per-
sons in attendance are discussing the
vice-presidential problem.
The populist national committee
met tonight and decided that P. L.
Kingdell, Of Minnesota. should act as
temporary chairman of the convention.
The committee then went over the lists
of state delegates, which had been
submitted to Secretary Edgerton of the
national committee. and raised, in sew
eral instances, the number of delegates
allowed.
The total number of delegates in the
convention was raised from $50 to
1000.
