PROMISE MOUNTAIN
STATES TO BRYAN
What Silver Republicans Say Not Sure of
Pacific COast-POpuliSts Doubtful as
to Policy in Three States.

Kansas City. July 7.-Practical fusion
between the Democratic and popuIist
parties on the presidential ticket has
been decided upon by the Populist ma
tioual committee. Unless present plans
are changed. however. the Democratic
vice presidential candidate will not be
endorsed. whether or not Chas. A..
Towne decides 70 withdraw his name
as the candidate OF the Populst party.
as this, It is feared. would result in a
large detection to the middle Of the road
Popullsts
Mr. Towne win leave for home late
this afternoon and win stop over az
Lincoln at the invitation Of W. J..
Bryan. The whole situation viii be
thoroughly discussed and upon Mr..
Bryan's views viii depend. in a large
measure Mr.. Townes decision IN re-
gard to the vice presidency, He viii not
announce his decision until he has also
had conferences with other leaders in
both the Democratic and Populist
parties. and until he does communicate
with the Popullst national committee,
which will not be for several days at
least he will take no further action.
AFRAID OF STEVENSON.
In case Mr.. Towne decided to with
draw his name as the vice presidential
candidate Of the Populist party, the ma
tlonal committee will select another
candidate. The sentiment apparently Is
against the endorsement Of Mr.. Steven
son on account OF the peculiar condi-
tons existing in several OF the western
states notably Kansas. Nebraska and
South Dakota. where the Populist vote
Is larger than the Democratic, and
where the Populist leaders fear the
straight endorsement Of the Democratic
ticket would jeopfrdize the success OF
the ticket.
But the parties will work together In
States where Popullst strength is the
greater the understanding will be that
the electors on both tickets will favor
Bryan and Towne This will apply
especially 10 the Western States. In the
Southern States and in other sections
where the Populists admit their party
is dlstasteful to the Democrats, the
electoral ticket will be Bryan and Ste
venson.
TO UNITE ON STEVENSON
In the electoral college, according to
the general plan, as outlined. it is the
intention to unite the vote, probably
on Mr.. Stevenson. This general plan
was outlined at the meeting Of the
Populist national committee, which
was held last night at the close Of
the meeting between conference COM
mlttees Of the Democratic. Populist
and Silver Republican parties, AL
which adjourned early today after a
protracted debate.
"rhe whole idea Is to concentrate our
forces and work for the success Of VIM.

Ridgely Of Kansas. today. The
