BRYAN REPEATEDLY CHEERED.
Adoption of Platform By Wisconsin
Democrats.

William Jennings Bryan was strongly in
dorsed as standard bearer Of the democratic
party in the presidential campaign of 1913
by the Wisconsin democratic state conven-
tion which adjourned sine die at Mllwau-
kee yesterday afternoon.
There were only two occasions in which
Bryan's name was mentioned during the
day and that was when the resolutions were
read as a whole and again when the pianks
were adopted separately In both instances
his name was cheered repeatedly and the
words Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, Three Cheers
for Bryan" brought forth a tumult of ap
plause which continued some time before
the chairman could restore order.
The plank of the platform that came In
for the most debate was that bearing on
municipal ownership. National Committee
man Timothy E. Ryan fought hard against
the adoption of the plank, but he had few
supporters.
The platform adopted Will be submitted
as a recommendation to the candidates who
receive nomination for the state ticket at
the primary election in the fall.
