The resolutions laid stress on the
Bryan reforms and public ownership.
There was a hot debate before the
adoption of the resolutions which de-
clared in favor of government control
of the railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone companies. The Endorsement OF
Bryan for president was something OF
4 surprise, for last night it was thought
4 specific declaration of this kind
would be omitted as he best course,
while indorsing the Bryan politics. The
action of Missouri yesterday n the
probable action in Indiana is thought
% have a large influence in this re-
