THE NEBRASKA DELEGATION.
Want a Specific 16 to Plank -
Sea on Vice Presidency.

Kansas City, Mo, July 2--The major
ity of the members of the Nebraska del
egation arrived today on early trains,
and the balance of the delegation is ex-
pected by afternoon. They came pre-
pared to make a strong fight, if neces-
Sary for the insertion in the platform OF
a plank declaring in the most Spec1hc
terms for 16 to L w H. Thompson, OF
Grand Island, a delegate at large, and a
close friend of Mr.. Bryan, said:
We have held no meeting of the del
egation as yet, and L cannot say what
their Individual opinions may be, but
rather think" he added, with smile,
that there is not much doubt of what
they think. Speaking for myself, do
not see what good a mere reaffirmatfon
of a plank in a former platform can do
People are not going to hunt up copy
of the Chicago platform to see what 1t
is we reaffirm. If the convention is go
ing to declare for 16 to l, there is only
one way to do it and that is by the in
sertion of plank in the platform which
shall say what is meant. A reaffirma-
ton may be good enough In it's way, but
it's way is not a very good way"
Concerning the vice presidency, Mr..
Thompson said that the Nebraska del
egation was somewhat at sea and de-
MED positively that it had received any
intimidation from Mr.. Bryan of his per-
Sonal choice of a candidate.
We want the man that will poll the
most votes" said Mr.. Thompson, land
l have mot been on the ground long
enough To IOInl dAy lu0d OIL WHO that
man is. Speaking generally, however, 1
will say that if the state of New York
can decide upon good man, against
whom there is no objection on personal
grounds that man will be suitable. L
make that statement in a broad sense,
however, and do not wish to be under
stood as saying that we are for any
man whom New York may choose to en-
dorse. He must be suitable in other re-
spects as well as having the approval of
the New York delegation"
The Nebraska delegation will hold a
meeting this afternoon, to decide it's
. course during the convention and pos
sibly to select man to whom it will
tie for the vice presidency.

Up the road toward Lawrence he gave
another illustration of it by telling a
story As the train flew by newly

heat and mopped his brow, he said:
During the storming of San Juan
hill was requested by one of my men
to betake myself to the very hottest

I always congratulate myself that I

Governor Roosevelt's first speech was

Lawrence was the second and that at
Topeka the third. The speeches he is
making this afternoon are according to
the schedule arranged and published
some time ago.
Governor Roosevelt was dressed to-
day as he appeared on the floor of the
adelphia. The hat he waved in response
to cheers and handkerchiefs was the
Rough Rider hat that saw campaign

His auditors saw his eyes respond to
the sentiment of his words behind his

O'Clock this morning when he saw the
Kansas City union depot disappear from
view, and it will be about midnight
wehn he reaches his destination
The man who storned San Juan hill
at the head of his regiment of voiun-
teer cavalry and was nominated by ac-
clamation at the republican national
convention for the second office in the
gift of the nation, crossed the state llne
of Kansas with the strains of 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner" ringing in his ears.
AS he caught last glimpse of the hum
dreds that turned out 10 see him at
Lawrence the same strains were in the
air, and as the special pulled out of
the Topeka depot THE Star-Spangled
Banner was the piece the band was
playing.
It's the grandest piece that was ever
composed" he said. as he heard it for
the second time at Lawrence, and
hope I'll hear it every place stop"
Governor Roosevelt's flight across the
state is a triumphal one. The men,
women and children gathered at the
stations along the line of the Santa
Fe are there to cheer for him. He left
a surging mass of cheering humanity
at Kansas City. AT Lawrence and To-
peka it was the same. A year ago,
when he made the same trip, he was
simply the hero of San Juan hill and
the chief executive of the Empire state
New fuel has been added to his fire
